CS371p Spring 2021: Week 8

What did you do this past week?

This past week I spent my time attending my classes as well as working on my project for my Networking class. I started looking ahead to the upcoming project in this class. I read through the project description and started working on the project a little bit.

What’s in your way?

As of right now, nothing is my way.

What will you do next week?

Next week I am going to enjoy my Spring Break. If I get some time, I’ll continue to work on the Allocator project and rewatch some of the lectures from this week.

If you read it, what did you think of the Liskov Substitution Principle?

I found this article to be very similar to the one last week. Both of these articles talked about how to make the code you write more robust and adaptable. I think these articles are pretty crucial to anyone looking to write code on an industry level.

What was your experience of heap arrays, allocators, and digits iterator?

I had had a little prior experience from another class talking about these same subjects so it was good to get a refresher and learn some new things about them when it comes to C++. The lectures covering these topics were pretty informative and will come in handy when working on the Allocator project.

What made you happy this week?

Spring Break is finally here so I will get some time to relax and not worry about any deadlines.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

A thing I learned about this past summer was VS Code’s ability to do a live collaboration. I had not heard of any other editor that has this functionality and was surprised by how well VS Code did this. Having live collaboration is extremely helpful when working with partners especially if you are not able to meet up in person.
