The heap project is coming to an end this Thursday and I plan to actual turn it in. Getting the necessary task done are coming along at steady pace and (knock on wood) the project should not hit any debilitating snags like the voting project. Besides the joy of not feeling heavily stressed by the project, I am happy that it is proving to be more interesting that it seemed at first. Going into this project I was not looking forward to it at all. After an explanation was given in class, having base code to start with and a partner this time, the task is not that laborious.
Besides finishing up the third project, a new extra credit opportunity has popped up that I am very happy for. Not necessarily because of the credit, but for the chance to get my website reviewed and critiqued. After having a speaker from JPL come and talk to the class about many things, one thing he mentioned was having an online portfolio that is easily accessible by potential future employers. Luckily for me, this summer I decided to finally create a website of my own to host my one off blogs, and create a location for me to show of the projects I am working on. There is only so much that I can to get friends to let me know what they think, but having the opportunity to have the professor and other students look at it has great value. Having recently started a new project, I will be able to dynamically form very good looking project page with the help of fellow students taking periodic looks at it.
