As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
9-11am Practical Experiences in Programming practical
Tuesdays are super busy. In fact, they’re the busiest day of the week with 7 contact hours and only 2 hours of breaks between them. Programming in the morning isn’t ideal but, since the deadline for part 1 of the coursework was the very next day, ideals had to be put aside. Thankfully, I did actually manage to complete it in the lab so that was one thing off my mind.
12-3pm Practical Experiences in Programming lecture
This lecture carried on from last week and covered more complex ideas in C++. On one hand, it’s great to learn new syntax and language concepts and whatnot but on the other, it can get a bit overwhelming given the pacing of it all. There are deadlines for C++ coursework every Wednesday so the last thing one needs is a 3-hour C++ lecture on the day before. Anyway, everything will hopefully work out in the end InShaAllah.
4-6pm Software Engineering Group Project practical
For this practical we had to undertake some PHP training beforehand to be able to actually do the lab assignment. The training took the form of a 4-hour LinkedIn Learning PHP course which I simply binge watched the night before at x2 speed.
PHP is a lot like Java in some respects. However, once you actually start coding in it you realise the chasm of difference between the two. In a nutshell, one is useful and the other is not. I mean, I’d rather prefer doing some JavaScript or learning any one of it’s exponentially growing frameworks; something that would surely prove advantageous when working in industry.
Anyway, the day was exhausting to say the least but I guess I better get used to it given the frequency of these coursework deadlines. It’s going to be a tough semester indeed.
Hope this helps!
