All Five Student BLOGS are getting filled, and that is a great sign. It is a habit that won't hurt and I am finding it a great help.
Update:
Alec:
He has latched on the the MAC XCode road and started to write his first application. Darn that Mac for making some of the most complex things simple as drag and drop! :) Also, his Blog is getting more specific and written very clearly, so I won't have to be a nag.
Max and Ethan:
They're working towards writing a complex game of some sort that will breach the Kamchatka Penninsula - no doubt some students in Kamchatka are currently writing a game that will breach the shores of mysterious Winnipesaukee. The C coding will be as complex as the spelling of the location names in the game. Max has been practicing writing and storing data to a .txt file. An encrypted database may be better in the long run, but this is a great start - and a successful one.
Ethan is practicing with writing and debugging blocks of code - I suspect some of the work to run the direction of the game from the user's input.
Zhanar:
Working to understand the Windows environment - a cryptic labyrinth of handlers, WinProc, and kernel calls.
Nate:
Feeling the call of other worlds, Nate is thinking of moving out of the JAVA book. After chapters of work, he is finishing the Paint program and heading out to greener, more tasty JAVA worlds.
