CS371p Fall 2020: Nour Hajjar
What did you do this past week?
I finished and submitted the Allocator project with my partner, I started on the Darwin project, attended lectures, and I finished my project for CS439 class.
What’s in your way?
Working with my partner on the Darwin project and trying to figure out the best way to implement it before doing the actual coding. Also, start on the virtual memory project for my OS class.
What will you do next week?
Trying to finish and submit the Darwin project, read the next paper, do the next blog, attend lectures to learn about something new, and finish project for the OS class.
What was your experience of lambdas, initializations, std::initializer_list, and std::vector? (this question will vary, week to week)
I’ve done a lot of coding and especially in my personal projects but did not have chances to use lambdas, but now I can see how that is useful. For initializations, and initializer_list I use these a lot, but I didn’t what was going on under the hood and now it’s very clear and for vectors I was familiar with most of the implementation except that sometimes iterators still confuse me.
What made you happy this week?
Besides done from big projects for my classes, I made a major update in my app in which user can add promo codes to get a free subscription which is really meant for UT students and I finally released it on the AppStore.
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My Pick-of-the-week is a platform / website called “iProducts-US.com” that was developed by UT students in which students can join their team and start earning income easily just by referring other people who wants to sell their electronics. Also, they have a great IMEI/Serial Number IMEI check engine for Apple products that tells you information about the Apple product you are about to buy. My tip-of-the-week is more social than technical and that is sometimes it is more important to acquire leadership experience than focusing on that extra programming skill. That really serves more in the world of entrepreneurship for the software developer.
