CS373 Spring 2021: Brian Wang, Blog #11
- What did you do this past week?
Our team finished Phase III this past week. We worked on fixing and adding to our unit tests, and it took us a while to figure out how to do searching and highlighting on the frontend.
2. What’s in your way?
I think homework and other projects from other classes are in my way right now. I’m hoping later weekends will be more relaxing!
3. What will you do next week?
I will continue to come to lectures and learn new things. My team and I will also start Phase IV to refactor our code, which will be important for maintenance and readability.
4. If you read it, what did you think of the More getters and setters?
I thought it was interesting how you separate out the UI logic from the business object, by having a Builder object that does not expose internal implementation. I think I am starting to understand the author’s point of view a little better.
5. What was your experience of SQL? (this question will vary, week to week)
I thought it was awesome! I have never used SQL before, so I learned a lot from the lectures. I wonder where local databases are stored on disk, and I also don’t know how different it would be to access and query a database on a remote server.
6. What made you happy this week?
I’m happy to get my first vaccine shot for Covid-19 this past week! In addition, I’m just really glad that it’s the weekend.
7. What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
Our team replaced some of our native Bootstrap tables with tables from Ant Design because of their functionality. Plus, it didn’t change too much of our source code to make the transition, and it looks nice too. I think it’s worth looking at if you haven’t seen it!
