CS373 Fall 2022: Minh Nguyen (Blog #11)
- What did you do this past week?
Last week, I finished my other classes’ homework and assignments as usual. I tried to catch up with some difficult lectures but could not finish all of them. Besides, I did a few leetcode questions to prepare for my next interviews.
- What’s in your way and what will you do next week?
I still have some materials which I do not fully understand so I am spending more time on these hard parts to catch up. I also missed a few lectures in other classes so I also need to catch up with these classes’ material. There is an exam next week and I did not do well on the last exam so I am trying to review more carefully and hope I will do better on this one. I also have a behavior interview next week. I hope I will do well on this one. The phase 3 of project IDB is due next week. I think our group should start earlier than the previous phase so that we can finish it on time
- What did you think of Paper 11. More on getters and setters?
At first, I was surprised by the title because using getter and setter is my intuitive way of approach when doing object-oriented programming. However, after reading through the article and learning about the disadvantages of accessors, I understand that I should not use setters and getters in every place but only in the place where using them will not violate object-oriented principles
- What was your experience of the SQL, joins, and subqueries? (this question will vary, week to week)
I have some experience with these ideas in Database Management class but I am still not familiar with SQL syntax.
- What made you happy this week?
Staying with my parents is a lot of fun but back to my place in Austin made me feel comfortable. I also could be more productive and focus on my plan. In addition, the beautiful weather during this time along with the beautiful nature of Austin gives me many opportunities to participate in outdoor activities.
- What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
I found a Search Bar in React tutorial which I think it is pretty straightforward and useful for next phase of IDB
