Another week gone and ever so closer to summer break.
Seniors are ready to go.
Underclassmen want summer to be here now.
I just want to make sure that students have gotten enough out of my class and have s firm understanding of what entails computer programming.
I am currently working on some projects myself that take quite a bit of time and troubleshooting.
In programming two, we are still covering classes. I have a feeling that we will continue until the end of the year.
Roughly a month of school is left.
I think students are getting eager for the school year to end.
I plan to step it up so that my students can get the most now and until the end.
The whole corporation is migrating to gmail and a new grade book program for next year. I have been very busy assisting staff with this transition. Many positives to note on this matter.

Let's stay focused and continue problem solving!

Students will finish up the example that was started on Monday over manipulating files and folders. After the program is finished students will be asked to generate some text files to test the program.
Students will also be given more sample code on reading and writing to a data file. The data written will simply be text but the concept is a major one. Dealing with data and how to access it is key for data storage and replication.
