All work and no blogging

I figured I’d get a blog post off regarding the last couple of days since i didn’t manage to post anything at the end of each. This is mostly because the work I’ve been doing has been mostly reading the course literature.

Friday we had a summary meeting in the morning where we discussed the work done during the week and concluded that we were still within acceptable frames for our schedule. On the afternoon i finished reading through Business Model Generation which was an interesting book.

On the Monday we held a small meeting where we discussed what we needed to do before the end of the week. We also managed to become effective enough to set up the version control for the project during that same session. I guess that saved us an hour or so for the rest of the week. For the rest of the week so far outside of classes I’ve been going through a more challenging read than the powerpoint-like Business Model Generation. For the programming course we were tasked with reading several chapters from API Design for C++ which while full of interesting material, is still a pretty hefty read. I read more of the book the day before it was due than i would have liked but did one interesting thing. For once i used the promadoro method in order to keep focused on the book and it worked fairly well(for the total of two hours of reading). I think i’ll probably use it in the future when i need to focus for longer periods of time than an hour or so.
