I only have three minutes, so I guess I better get cracking.
When I joined the course (on last minute basis, hahah) I figured we'd be doing the sort of thing we're doing now, but only for a few weeks. My mind imagined a sort of programming grandeur, where we'd make our own programs and even apps for phones, etc.
I don't know if we'll get onto that sort of thing later on, but I'm not saying I'm disappointed so far.
If anything, taking a long time in all these basic programming sequences has helped me realize I have to pay attention to detail and that what I write is certainly not infallible.
I've learned a lot doing these basics, but I certainly hope we'll get on to a big and really interesting project soon....or else I honestly will be a bit disappointed in the course (and perhaps myself more, hehe)
In any case, even if we don't get onto that sort of thing, I'll try and take advanced computer programming! So far the class is really fun and I like the atmosphere (and lose deadlines). It's really stress free, and being able to control things at my every whim is fun. Nobody can deny that.
