NEWS FLASH: Well, I got my official job offer from IBM this past Tuesday, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm looking taking a break from class and having my evenings and weekends free again. This constant grind of HW, projects, and studying for exams this semester has really drained me, and I need a break.
This past weekend we made the final submission for the TA matching project. We already had a lot of the required functionality implemented from previous phases. However, we had a few outstanding bugs to fix with the SMP, and a couple other minor things.
Looking back after it's all done, this project was probably the most valuable experience of my undergraduate experience in the CS department. Working with a team to design, implement, and test a (somewhat simple) application is more closely related to what we'll be doing in the real world than the typical "black box" type of spec that we're so often given on projects.
I'm also glad the Downing forces everyone to use Subversion on every project. This was my first time to use Subversion, and I wrote a short post about basic Subversion Stuff if you're just getting started with it. By the way, I also wrote a post about setting up SVN+SSH with Subclipse. I wish I'd been shown some sort of version control tool in my first computer science class here, to be honest. Although, I probably wouldn't have appreciated the value of it at that time.
As far as the future of our webapp, I'd like to transfer it to my own google app engine account and possibly continue to work on it when I feel like it(now that I'm going to have a bit more free time!!!).
