Assignment 1: Thoughts and Reflections

This week, we worked on setting up our Java environment (I’m currently using IntelliJ as my IDE, though I’ve used Visual Studio in the past) and pushing a simple Fibonacci program to the class git repository. This wasn’t too big of a task, as I’ve done both before — albeit separately. I haven’t uploaded a file from my desktop to Github (mostly used the command line in the past) — so that was a new experience for me — and it also took a quick google search to figure out how to create a folder inside my repository prior to uploading my Fibonacci file.

All assignments aside, I look forward to what this course has to offer me. I think it will be unlike most other CS ones I’ve taken so far at DePaul in that it teaches software dev *practices* — as opposed to programming itself. We’ll see!
