Programming and uni and RE-SULT!
Hey all,
I thought I'd do a little update about things.
Firstly, results, the results of the last semester are up on the uni web site, I'm not sure if they're the final results as they can change.
Visual Programming 2: A
Building Office Applications: A
Professional Issues: C
W00t I passed everything! :D
Also, for some reason I decided to upload my SDF:IRC project to uni, it takes 30 mins to build via the VPN. XD But anyway, in one of my lectures yesterday the tutor went off on a coffee break and one of the students was stuck with some areas of code. I opened the SDF:IRC project as I knew he'd probably see it working better in there. He got interested so I showed him the screen shots page I posted previously. Then the tutor came in and was also interested.
The tutor said I might be able to submit SDF:IRC as my project for data structures and algorithms, which would make things easier. :p
Just thinking about it now, I don't know if it would be good, I mean the project he wants isn't going to be more than 200 lines, SDF:IRC is about 17,000 and I need to read the uni agreement too, I don't want them nicking off with my code because if I hand it in I might be signing ownership over to them.
After the rest of the lecture ended, me and the tutor talked more. Yes, lots about coding and stuff like that, but also about the possibility of using platforms like eclipse RPC to help with the plug-ins, I've had a look and it looks really good. I'm not sure how much it'd be worth doing though as I've got my own small plug-in API in place already and also SDF:IRC is nearly ready for beta, I don't want to delay it much more.
If I were to use eclipse plug-ins I'd be able to deploy it a lot easier, I also would be able to use some quite advanced libraries without having to create my own, like I have been doing. The downside is that I'd now have to get used to using all this new stuff.
If you have any thoughts, you might as well post them. :p
See ya,
SDF
