It's been a month since the coding period started. The upcoming week in particular is important because
it's the last week before the first evaluation period, meaning I have to deliver everything I've worked on for the past
month.
What did I do this week?
I finally finished my first milestone. In
total, for
this milestone I opened 21 issues, and closed 16 so far. The missing 5 have linked pull requests (PRs) that are
awaiting review.
For 2 lectures I had to use Brython for their
exercises.
Brython is designed to replace Javascript as the scripting language for the Web. As such, it is a Python 3 implementation (you can take it for a test drive through a web console), adapted to the HTML5 environment, that is to say with an interface to the DOM objects and events.I use Brython beacause the current python interpreter of Runestone is skulpt, and it doesn't support some python libraries that Brython does. So this past week I had to recall how Brython works. I had to read its documentation again, where I found the
browser.timer module, which I found helpful.
Did I get stuck anywhere?
Not really. I did take time to do the Brython stuff, but I didn't feel stuck.
What is coming up next?
This fifth week I will be aware of my existing PRs in case the mentors suggest changes. Meanwhile, I'll continue with my second milestone.
