Week 2 Day 1
Today was another good one! I started out by debugging and adding features to my application. I encountered several problems, mostly involved in event based programming, something that I have never really done before. I was able to add a delete player button and it now deletes the player. The edit button works and you cannot add two players with the same name anymore. As far as the change button, I was unable to get it to work perfectly, but it is working reasonably well, but my big problem is that the ID of the player revolves around a player's name, and that when I change the player name I am not sure what I should do. I will begin to assign a number ID and I think that will be easier to use. When I went to commit these changes to github, I ran into some issues with the GUI so I needed to use the command line to commit. I also got a version of Ubuntu on a virtual machine and so hopefully I will be able to work with sphinx in the near future. Finally I spoke with my mentor and began looking at the firefox app friendzy, an app that uses gps and node.js on a server, and so I began to try to deconstruct the app. I plan on learning some node.js next so that I can go on to apply it to the new app.

A few really important things you can add to your blog posts that will both make it much more fun for your readers and more useful for you as a reference later:
ReplyDelete1. Provide links to all software you discuss in your post. What's the point of reading about something we can't try out?
2. Use screenshots for anything visual. You mention you added a delete player button. It would be great to be able to see that in a screenshot.
Glad to hear you are beginning to wrap your head around event driven programming. That's the way the world works, but you can complete years of academic assignments in school without ever having to deal with it.
