Week of End

This is the last week of this semester, as well as the end of CS3216.

4 weeks' hard work and McDonald's were transformed to the current app we have now. It's just one last step from being launched as a complete app. We spent lots of time on it and sacrifised lots of biological needs, as suggested, haha.

It comes to the time when I need to summarize what I have done in CS3216 and what I can take away. Frankly speaking, the most valuable thing I learnt via CS3216 is the programming skills. I did the basic programming modules, but only CS3216 made it possible for me to use them and put them into real practice. I can feel that my programming skills have been sharpend along the way by solving problems one by one, under very tight schedules.

Besides, I also feel very glad that I made lots of friends via the projects and learnt a lot from the great CS3216 community. I was totally new to HTML, PHP, JavaScript, essentially all the basic stuff about web application development when I joined this course. But I managed to work with very experienced teammates KianZhong, Zenan and JinGuan. I learn as I work on the projects. It was really a hard time in CS3216. I had to rush for deadlines, and also coordinate with other module requirements. I should have felt very happy when all this came to the end. Yet I feel a bit sad and lost.

One last semester for me before graduating from NUS. I really want to have a good time in the last semester, instead of unreasonable workloads like what I had in the past years. CS3216 will become a good memory for me to think of, when I wake up in the morning in my hostel and notice that no need to rush to SOC and continue coding. :)
