SBR600:Reflection

Semester's over!!Yayy!!And so is my time at Seneca College!This last semester of mine at the college was really interesting as I had some really easy courses and some really hard courses.SBR600 falls right in between.Not too hard, but at the same time, not super easy as well.

I learned some really interesting things in the course, such as specfiles which help with building packages,what they do, and what are the required commands and prerequisites for the package.That, I found really interesting. But the best thing I learned in this course is git, a version control software.  It allowed me to experiment with my files and system without having the worry about messing up too badly. Once I had a stable piece of code which i liked, I'd save it as my initial file and then if i wanted to make some ill-advised changes I would run it and then revert back to the stable version.

One thing I did not expect to learn was python. I'm not a big fan of programming. I used to be in the CPA program but got so sick of C after the first semester, that i decided to change to networking. And python unfortunately is a programming language. It wasn't too hard to figure out the basics but i really didn't like learning it.

SBR600 is a relatively new course, so the prerequisites for the different aspects in this course haven't been strictly implemented. For one, people taking this course should be given a little bit of introduction to python, but that also wouldn't be feasible as it is not a major part of the networking stream.

In my opinion, SBR600 is a really hands-on course, and should be taken by people who really are into working on project-based courses. I had a good time in this course during the semester and I wish the best of luck everyone who took it with me in their future endeavors.

SBR600 Project "fedpkg Test Suite" -- release 0.3

For stage 0.3 we were supposed to finalize our projects for submission.
My group partner uploaded it on his account on the chile.proximity.on.ca server
you can get the details from his blog on http://zwang98.blogspot.com/2010/12/sbr600-project-fedpkg-test-suite.html

This was a tough one to get through as we didn't have much exposure to python but we got as much done as possible on it.Hopefully the people who take it over from us will be able to understand what we have done and can implement it in a useful manner.
