The week we learned about Git and how to utilize source control. Some good points about git is that it allows users to create save points in their code. When developing a new feature the programmer can make use of branches to create new code while still being able to reset to a previous state if something goes wrong with adding the feature. I think this is incredibly useful especially when dealing with large programs because it allows programmers to work on small pieces of the code without modifying the existing code base. With online websites such as Github, programmers can collaborate and work on code simultaneously. This does present a challenge though if both programmers make modifications to the same lines of code. This will cause a conflict and require a code review to determine how to resolve the conflict. Overall I think tools such as git and Github are incredibly useful for programmers to collaborate on software projects.
This week primarily consisted of the Mid term which encompassed the first three weeks of learning. So far, this class has been challenging, but I am beginning to grasp some of the main concepts. I find that doing a daily review of the materials I have learned helps me to feel a little more confident that I understand. I feel that the main ideas have been computing the time complexity of the algorithm and getting familiar with some established algorithms for solving common problems. I will continue to study the new material and review previous materials to continue to improve.
