3 years ago Your project plan looks solid! It's a great start! 😀🎉 One practice I read about years ago is that at Amazon, Bezos actually asks all of his people to write actual press releases for the imagined finished product. Literally, starting at the very end of the process-- imagine you're writing a release to a major newspaper or magazine and touting all of the various features of your finished product. Doing this as your first step then guides the features that you build first and how you architect the entire project. It's a really clarifying execise!
Sleep Dealer looks super-interesting. Will definitely check this out too! Thank you for sharing all of this great stuff! 🙏
Motivation/Problem Statement 💭❓:
Learn Python Obtain the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate
Today's Goal/Solution 🥅:
Continue working on Google Data Analytics course 4. Continue brainstorming Python 100DaysOfCode progress tracker.
Result 🍓🍌🍉:
I accomplished a lot today. I'm super close to finishing Week 4 of 6 in the Processing Data from Dirty to Clean course. My goal was to finish Week 3, so I'm well beyond that! So I can report that in my upcoming biweekly recap.
I also spent some time brainstorming the progress tracker that I want to make for 100DaysOfCode. It'll be a computer app that uses Tkinter for the GUI. I chose Tkinter because it seemed interesting and different. I suppose a web app would be more accessible, but meh, I want to try something different.
I wrote some preliminary "user stories" - I hesitate to call them stories because they are so rough, and I don't know that they follow good story conventions - that I need to organize into an MVP vs add-on features. I also started making some rough UML Object diagrams to keep track of the attributes and functions that I'll need. I have a preliminary idea for how to organize the code, but I'm still sorting through that. Lastly, I came up with a task list (things that I need to do in order to finish the project); I'm still working on it, but it's a start.
Observations & Next Steps 🔭👣:
I will continue working through Google DA course 4.
For my project, I need to continue working on the task list, and then start to organize it into some type of schedule. I also need to organize the stories into features and pick out what's a must-have vs. a nice-to-have.
