My first programming assignment was exciting. I declared the variables and assigned them easily. The calculation and displaying the result for this assignment was straightforward. I captured the essence of converting requirements to code. I see the value of adding comments to my code. It helps me organize the steps in the process and ultimately the functions in the code for reuse. I learned that having meaningful variable names is important to the process. Since each variable is a data container, it is critical that the identifier is properly labeled to perform calculations and interactions with a user. As an example, if a variable stores a user's home address, I need to make sure that I am displaying the user's home address in the verification process. If the address variable is not named properly, I may display a variable that is not relevant and or cause significant overhead to troubleshoot issues. …show more content…
How do I find objects within other libraries? Is there a catalog that I can query? What is the process to contribute and or build objects for global libraries? How do I connect to data sources through other objects? Direct calls? I realize that I am learning and expanding on my critical thinking process. I feel that critical thinking is the most essential aspect of computer programming. It is required to build solutions and troubleshoot issues. Especially important when troubleshooting software solutions built by other programmers. I am excited to explore the various methods and solutions used to build programs. I foresee that I will be able to apply the fundamental thinking pattern that I learn from this course to help me dissect problems
