It's been a month since the coding period started. The upcoming week in particular is important because it's the last week before the first evaluation period, meaning I have to deliver everything I've worked on for the past month.
What did I do this week?
I finally finished my first milestone. In total, for this milestone I opened 21 issues, and closed 16 so far. The missing 5 have linked pull requests (PRs) that are awaiting review.
For 2 lectures I had to use Brython for their exercises.
Brython is designed to replace Javascript as the scripting language for the Web. As such, it is a Python 3 implementation (you can take it for a test drive through a web console), adapted to the HTML5 environment, that is to say with an interface to the DOM objects and events.
I use Brython beacause the current python interpreter of Runestone is skulpt, and it doesn't support some python libraries that Brython does. So this past week I had to recall how Brython works. I had to read its documentation again, where I found the browser.timer module, which I found helpful.
Did I get stuck anywhere?
Not really. The Brython stuff took time to do, but I didn't feel stuck.
What is coming up next?
This fifth week I will be aware of my existing PRs in case the mentors suggest changes. Meanwhile, I'll continue with my second milestone.
