also could be subtracted form the roster. I also did the
first pass through of the view page. I have a list of things
that I know should be included as part of the view, however
I also am not sure how I want to go about showing this
in the example app itself.
I am a little stuck on this. I think that the mre effective way
to do so would be to make a dummy-roster and add students manually
in order to create the rest of the visual demonstration but to leave the
roster function open to upload one's own roster.
I am really enjoying the application of using the terminal to solve a
problem that I choose. Even though it seems like a small one, there is a
lot of investment (on my part) when I am solving my own problem.
It also makes the wins in this project feel bigger somehow? I think that
students would share that buy in!
I have used the visual coding color coded error prompts (the red lettering)
to help work through the visual side of things. The definitions for the app itself
make sense and I feel confident writing those, however the visual side
of things is tougher! As I work through what to print I tend to lose track of the
() and {} and [] and ""... there are just so many! And they go in such
particular places. So, that color coding has been great to identify problems before
they become probleme burried away.
I will scan these and save them to the folder for
project. Then I started with the model, since it seemed
easier to start with the process THEN work into
the visual representation of the app.
Recently my struggle and my success are related as I struggled with
banjo. It has not been working on my device so I was concered I would
not be able to make the app. However, similarly to the patch that
you offered me for the Sub Rosa lab, I decided to use the Riddles Server and
app to model my own local app.
I have actually learned a lot from the troubleshooting of this process.
I also have, odd as it may seem, gained a lot of confidence with trial and error
in the terminal. At the beginning I was scared to try and fix problems for
fear that I would do damage that I could not undo. But as I an working
through this semester, it feels more like a puzzle that I can test and retest
my way through rather than being scared of it.
Since I have not been able to access the banjo server, as noted in the other
lab, I will create this app using the tools I can study in the code from the Riddles Server
lab and other labs throughout the units!
I know I have said the following before, but I wanted to earnestly express my
determination to complete this course in a positive way and take advantage of this
awesome opporunity!
I would still love the chance to complete the lab, even if it is not for the
course, so I can still experience it in its entirety! If this impacts my grade in
a drastic way I would love the opportunity to either complete it for partial credit
later, or possibly do additional work to demonstrate my understanding of the servers and the process.
I am a bit concerned that my inability to access this server will impact my ability to pass this course,
and I have already learned so much that if there is a possibility I may not pass the
course I would love the chance to demonstrate my proficiency of the
material. I really appreciate the support and I know that communication has been tough with this being an independent
study, but I just want to be successful and I am dedicated to the process and
very grateful for it!
