My store is a vintage camera store selling several different types of vintage camera products: digital camera, point & shoot, and super 8.
As of now, I’m still working to complete Individual Requirement 5 which requires that an average rating is displayed for each product that provides users with an opportunity to rate the products they purchased.
Right now, it’s difficult to say that I’m proud of the online store I created because I’m still trying to incorporate IR5 which I hope to complete by 11:59p on Friday. That said, I’d like to believe that I’ll be proud of the online store that I created from scratch some day in the future.
Everything. There are too many features/functions to implement in such a short amount time with having very little skills or knowledge to code these particular sets features/functions. I’m burnt out. Probably not the best time to do the reflection but it’s my honest thoughts at the moment.
Developing Assignment 3 is different than Assignment 2, mainly because Assignment 3 involves many more functions to integrate and consider, especially with the additional set of product types. With that, it requires a lot more planning than the other assignments. I still fell into the trap sometimes by jumping into some coding first which wasn’t beneficial in the long run.
Like any reasonable person would do running into problems, I looked it up to online to figure out how to address the problem, sometimes even checking with ChatGPT but even ChatGPT wasn’t very helpful. Mostly, the best method of addressing my issues was reaching out to Dr. Port when I exhausted all of my options online to figure out a solution.
My head is not in the right space right now to determine what worked well because I’m still working to complete IR5. It’s been rough working with this last assignment, so it’s difficult to really reflect at this moment what worked well. I would be in a better position to reflect on this assignment a few weeks from now or maybe even months after.
Isn’t this similar to question 4 above? Everything at this moment does not seem to be working well. There are so many parts to the assignment that it’s even difficult to keep track of the code. The big challenge was the added set of different product types to associate requirements for a particular product, e.g., 5-star rating for each product.
Coding is difficult. I’m not good at coding but I try. I hope that after I’m done with this assignment, I can look back on it one day and know that I learned something from doing this assignment, but right now, it’s difficult to see that, unfortunately. If I need to identify a few functions I learned doing this assignment, it’s how to use cookies and sessions. I haven’t mastered them, but I understand them better and how it can help to make your code more efficient.
Spend more time understanding how to code and what I’m doing, especially the last few classes of the semester, but we covered the material so quickly with little time to process and understand it, except as we’re doing now with this final assignment. This is rough.
I estimate that I spent 40% thinking about how to do something, 30% writing code and 30% testing and debugging… and 100% frustrated.
