CS 373 Spring 2021: Brinda Prasad

What did you do this past week?

My group and I met early this week to plan out our issues for Phase 4 of IDB. I also started my last partner project for OOP earlier this week. Aside from the project, I’ve just been attending lectures for SWE and OOP and doing a few essays in my other classes.

What’s in your way?

Everything’s kind of starting to ramp up, so I’m definitely dealing with a longer to-do list than normal. I have some bigger final projects and essays due soon and will have to plan carefully to make sure I get everything done in time.

What will you do next week?

My group and I will be working on refactoring and visualizations for Phase 4 of IDB this week. I’ll also be working on my last partner project for OOP this week. Other than that, I’ve got a few final essays and presentations coming up.

If you read it, what did you think of the What Happens to Us Does Not Happen to Most of You?

I haven’t read it fully yet, but I’m looking forward to reading it!

What was your experience of joins and refactoring?

Learning about joins wasn’t too bad and it was a pretty easy concept to pick up. It seems super useful and the HackerRanks helped put SQL queries into practice pretty well.

What made you happy this week?

As always, I’ve just been spending a lot of time outside in the sun! It’s definitely been a nice break and I’m enjoying the change in scenery.

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

My tip-of-the-week is to use the shortcut in Visual Studio Code to jump to a specific line of code when debugging. Here it is:

Mac: cmd+p+:

Windows / Linux: ctrl+g

Then, enter in the line number you want to jump to. That’s all!
