Was busy so I barely made progress with the project. Applying the TDD methodology is also dampening my spirits because it is so different. Using a new approach without much time to adjust makes it hard to find my bearings. I’m hoping the rest of the week will calm down a bit and I can put some more time in with this.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

• Practice -> Continued working on the Battleship project. Started working on the first component which are the ship objects. I am going with the factory route instead of classes this time. Hopefully there are no unforeseen issues that come up.

Goal For Round 7 of the #100DaysofCode Challenge

This is my seventh round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five and round six into round seven. I am currently working through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. My goal is to become more familiar with algorithms and data structures. This goal was derived from my goal to better understand operating systems and key programs that I use in the terminal regularly e.g. Git. This goal was in turn derived from my desire to better understand the fundamental tools used for coding outside of popular GUIs. This in turn was derived from my desire to be a better back-end developer.

I have no idea if my path is correct but I am walking down this road anyways. Worst case scenario I learn a whole bunch of stuff that will help me out on my own personal projects.
