C867 Scripting and Programming Applications

This one didn't quite take as long as I expected and I passed it about a week ago while I was out of town.

I'm a fan of Bucky's programming tutorials and plan to use them again for Java. His C++ lectures can be found here -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAE85DE8440AA6B8

Instead of Zybooks, I used SoloLearn for learning the code because I appreciated the variety of coding exercises and it made me think about it in different ways. https://www.sololearn.com/Play/CPlusPlus ... Again, really great and I plan to use it again to learn Java (Software 1/2). 

My main source was a sample project that the mentors pass out when you ask for them; I don't know why they aren't in chatter or otherwise easily accessible. You need to be able to navigate it to interpret and edit it to your needs but much of the bulk work was in there and I was able to utilize it after my youtube and SoloLearn lessons ... I started off by identifying the main, class, and subclass files. I pasted those files into the file names I needed, editing each one to conform to the project specs. Then I went back and forth debugging my errors and going through the rubric to make sure it did everything it needed to do. 

Based on this course and how quickly I was able to get through Discrete Math 1, my goal from here on will be to pass 3 course per month. That will take me through November to have everything but capstone. I'm also considering switching to the Math program to flesh out my math background before going back to finish up BSCS. Of course, life happens when you're busy making plans so we'll see where I am when I get there.

I am grateful for my grandparents, without whom I wouldn't have known kindness and comfort growing up.
