For this assignment, we revisited the Fibonacci sequence and set up our environments. I chose to use VS Code so I could learn simple git actions in VS Code. I had issues connecting to my repo, but I was able to find a lot of resources online. Mostly I used this website by visual studio that was pretty straightforward.

I had become slower with Java since I spent a lot of time in Python over the summer, so it wasn’t as automatic as it used to be. I also had to give a quick look at Linux commands because I personally like doing the git commands in the terminal. I had to remember how to parse the args in main to an int so that I could call the recursive function with the number. Even though it’s a simple assignment, I tried to remember best practices, like naming aptly naming the function “calculate”, because that’s what it was doing. Finally, I was able to add, commit, and push my code.

My hopes for this class are high because I’ve never heard of this class before. I’m excited to learn something different but relevant. In interviews I want to be able to talk about the ideas of globally distributed software development and what working in a team means for the modern world. Of course, I fully expect to learn a lot at my first job after graduation, but I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to gain foundational knowledge.
