Day 2 of Internship

Today was my second day of interning at the OCAD Fluid project. Friday and today I did some testing for the projects that they are working on. It was a very good introduction to their work and allowed me to get a fairly good grasp of each of the different applications they are rolling out. Tomorrow we are releasing version 1.3.1, so that will be my first look at what that entails. From there I will be working on some programming for v1.4

A new way of looking at things

We recently had an ASP assignment where we had to create a program that displayed a list of cars and depending on which  car the user selected, a pre-determined set of options would be returned. On my first attempt, I felt that my design approach was not very efficient, so I went and had a discussion with Rob about changes that I could/ should make. He gave me some pointers and ideas which I took with me and re-wrote the program from scratch. The new approach posed many challenges for me as there were some concepts that I was not very well versed in that I had to learn. After a few days of work, I came up with something that was working, but I still found that there were some things that could have been done better.

I spent a few days just thinking about what I did and trying to think of new ways to approach the problem, and came up with a new solution after much deliberation. I again re-wrote the program, and am now very happy with how it is designed and functions.
