What am I doing?
Hello, my name is Nelson Bermeo a college freshman at Stevens Institute of Technology. Computer Science and it's many sectors interest me greatly. I'd often get a jolt of excitement everytime I remember how much information is avaliable for me to learn online. I can create many things on my local machine... cool things.
I am going through the Computer Science course from CodeAcademy and this is my first portfolio project. It is very simple, but I believe it demonstrates very important traits of a programmer.
The Project
My project is a terminal game that explains the user different types of interest equations. The user is greeted by a text explaing the premise and then asked which type of interest they would like to learn about. The user would type in their choice and get some information about that interest. They'd then have the opportunity to choose a starting amount for a set of variables and gain a look at the years of money incrementation in a list. Then the user would be allowed to type in another interest choice to look at.
What I learned
This was actually my first project ever. It took a lot of time for me to gain my knowledge. First of all I had to complete all the python courses in the "Programming" section of the CS course. I utilized list comprehension and for loops in this project. In addition I watched a git version control tutorial on youtube to learn how to use git. I was able to commit changes as I went, change branches and learn but not utilize requests.
Conclusion
I loved working on this project and hope that my next project will gain me even more knowledge for my future. Only going up from here!
