Working with others

    This week our course was given the task of creating a cli command, which included our code being reviewed by one of my classmates. Initially, this gave me some anxiety as sharing my work with others is not my strongest suit. Nonetheless, I created a post asking if anyone was looking for a partner and Michael Appeared.

    It turns out that having someone look over my work was much less scary than I had initially anticipated. Working with Michael was actually fun, and having the opportunity to look over someone else's work was a great learning experience for me. 

    With another pair of eyes looking at my code, Michael noticed errors and instructions that I was not addressing. Some instructions I had forgot to mention include the fact that my program requires bash. It did not occur to me that most of us live in a Windows Operating System. Another missing component was my Blog link in my READme. I had forgotten to include a link to my blog! As soon as Michael notified me he was done his assignment, I cloned his repository and started working on it right away. Michael did his project in python, having previous work experience with python I immediately noticed some issues with his READme file. Michael had forgotten to remind the user to create a virtual environment to download the needed dependancies. 

    All in all this task has given me the confidence to work in open source and change the world, one pull request at a time. 

    I would like to say thank you for the Constructive feedback Michael! I guess it takes another set of eyes to point out what we missed. I have resolve these issues and I look forward to working with you again! Thank you for your help!

The Progress

This week I decided on a repository to work on, the telescope repository. I was excited since this was a front end development issue. I had never created my own component before, however, I have some prior experience using React. I started by creating a bottomBar component and locating where I should add this component. I located the PageBase.js, the mobile application interface, and added the component to the bottom of the page. I started by creating a div with a red background to make sure I was on the right track. since it has been a couple months that I have not worked with React, I started with the most basic tasks, such as, creating a react component, a  div element, and rendering the component I made.     After confirming that I did not break anything, I started designing the layout of the desired BottomBar. The idea was created by  agarcia-caicedo,   proposed a bottom app bar t o improve mobile usability. If you're curious on the original idea you can check out his

We are off! V0.1

Initial Release V0.1  Our first Assignment was to create a command-line tool to check and report dead links in a file. Status code 200 would be considered "Good", 400 and 404 is "Bad", and all other status codes are considered "Unknown." My first experience creating a release was nerve racking. With no instructions on how to approach this problem, I started to brain storm ideas, and eventually started questioning my abilities. Inevitability, I chose to do my assignment in bash since it would allow me to colour my code, as well as create a command line tool. Overall, the first assignment was fairly simple to use. Simply clone or fork the repository, open up bash, and run the command. Command : ./cliCommand <filename> NOTE: This project will need Bash installed on your machine. Mac OS has bash built in, however, Windows OS may need to install Bash. Please feel free to play with codes, if you have a crazy idea, then pull request :) Usage and Features Us
