CST338 Module 7

     For the Histogram assignment, my main issue that I ran into was I was trying to solve the problem in an efficient way right off the bat, problem was I didn't really have a fleshed out plan on how to implement such a solution. The way that I would approach it now would be to just try to solve the problem in as simple / brute forced as I could -- and then proceeded to alter aspects to it in order to make it more efficient. Such a route has proven to allow me to finish projects quicker due to running into less walls during development. 

    My two victories I've experienced during this semester was with our second project. First off, when completing the log in assignment for Project 2, finally getting the functionality to allow for the creation of a user and subsequently logging in using their information was a huge victory as it took a lot of work with Room DB in order to get it to work. The second victory was with setting up default values in my project's database. Some students may have added default users upon compilation by just adding a generated user object to their database but I chose to take a bit of a more difficult route by creating a default .db file to create my Room DB off of. This method took a lot of extra troubleshooting in order to get it to work but in the end my program is able to create a database based on my template -- and this sort of method I was able to use in some other personal projects of mine which absolutely rely on needing this function to work.

CST489 / 499 Week 16

  For this week, please spend time browsing through your two years of journals and reflect on your overall experience and growth in the program. Some thoughts on future plans would be great, also.   This program has been an interesting two years, we've gone over so much material and yet I know I have so much more to learn just due to the nature of this field. I hope to continue to grow as I have these past 2 years and into a position where I can leverage my new skills.
