Some disappointment about JPEG library (course 7)

deladan commented 5 years ago

Here's comment from a learner:

When I read :
... invoke the JPEG library (libjpeg.so), which can be used to read and write image files in JPEG format (feel free to play around here - this is pretty neat!)
I thought finally we leave the demo code ... BUT no ! How to 'play around here' ? No explanation, no example, nothing ...

And as said in this thread it is not easy to find by oneself ... It's a shame !

And I agree with him, activity is a little disappointing.

I think this is probably more content related? @petraBT @remisharrock

@remisharrock I tend to agree that the title of this assignment is misleading. We should come up with something more exciting for the future!
