Hello again,
So, last time I wrote a bit about the project that was due on Thursday of this past week, and as you may have noticed, I was feeling pretty good about it. Now the project has been turned in, and I am feeling really good about the product we submitted. Our group met up quite a bit throughout this week to add to, move around, and decide on the generalities of the project while making sure to understand and meet the requirements that were laid out by Dr. Downing. I also feel like we got a relatively large chunk of work done for the amount of time that was spent working. I shared the project with some friends to show some of what my school work is like and I think they were fairly impressed.
My group chatted for a few after class on Friday so we have a reasonably good idea of where we need to start to tackle part 2 of this project. We changed some ideas on our Django model structure during the course of the project and I think we are still needing to really solidify this before moving on. In addition, while I think we are all feeling like our site is looking damn snazzy, we talked about getting some basic design decisions going for the look and feel and will want to get that going as well before/while we are setting up our templates to pull in data from our database. From the discussions in class this week and the end of the last week, I have an idea that Dr. Downing will want us to really focus on getting our databases working well with our apps and possibly get some thought down for refactoring.
This week was the first week we were assigned to read from the Refactoring book, and there was a quiz on it on Friday. I did not give myself time to read from it before class, so my quiz grade was a whopping 1 point for putting my name down, nice. This week was also the week following Spring Break, and I have to say that I am glad that the second iteration of this project has not yet been formally posted. I feel like I have not had a break since the week before Spring Break and am happy to have this time to relax, even if it is only for a couple of hours. I had a project meetup today for my computer graphics class, so I did not get the entire day off, but it still feels quite nice.
Speaking of relaxation, I think I may have a few more moments of it before getting back to the grind.
I'll be back!
