 * Spring 2017

Week Ending February 20, 2017

 * Task:


 * start reading the last 3 drafts and take notes.
 * we as a group decided to work on chapter 3 add more to it and if we still have time we might look into adding to other chapters.
 * Start looking at basic python concepts. Try to match them so they are similar to the perl basic concepts.


 * Results:


 * first I copied all the content of the text book to our draft 4th draft.
 * and I started to add some Python Coding concepts:
 * 1) I added data types (variable, strings)
 * 2) added content about Boolean and Boolean operators.
 * 3) Added Python Mathematical Concepts and operations.
 * 4) Added structures and examples of ( if, elif, and else) Conditions.
 * 5) Talked about loops ( while and for) loops also added the structure of the code and examples for each one.
 * 6) Print Statements.
 * 7) Loops.
 * 8) Functions.
 * 9) Structure


 * Plan:


 * in the last semester I took a(Python) course in Udacity.com so my plan is to use what I learned in this course :) . and try to match my basic python concepts with the perl basic concepts from the previous drafts.


 * Concerns:

our main concern is that we are a little behind we started this text book very late but we are going to make up for the lost time and start strong and hopefully by the end of the semester we will have an awesome chapter.

Week Ending February 27, 2017

 * Task:

my task for this week is to keep working on the Python coding concepts last week I was almost done with all the coding there was just few loops types I needed to add and I am going to add them this week, also I need to add more narrative to the Python coding concepts because what I have there is not enough. and it is my tern to add my notes next week so I was getting ready for that doing some searches and googling stuff try to find some good outlines to add them on the wiki notes next Thursday.


 * Results:

every thing went as expected, added more code to the loop part and waiting to see what my next week task is? we are going to decide to work on more chapters for the next coming weeks because it seems that we are done with chapter 3, some of us are already working on chapter 4. we will wait to see what are our tasks for the next week but most likely we are doing chapter 4 and 5


 * Plan:


 * finish chapter 3 by Feb 27,2017 and try to read chapter 4 and 5 to see what parts I want to be working on


 * Concerns:

I am concerned on how our parts are distributed. in my opinion I think we should divide parts to pairs like every 2 people responsible of finishing a part this week and so on.

Week Ending March 6, 2017

 * Task:
 * my main task for this week is to do the outlines and put them on Wiki on Thursday before 12pm.
 * after Professor reviews the outlines I m going to work on it hopping it will be done with it by next class with help from Brian.
 * for the text book my role for this week is to read and review chapter 4, find out what can I add or what part I want to do.
 * also I have to review the Perl part at chapter 3 and try to do some changes to it. add more things and try to make it more consistent.
 * we have to finish and submit HW2 and extra HW2 by Tuesday March 3rd.

about it. and he has added a lot to the outlines so as he said more work for us to do :)
 * Results:
 * for the first task I did the outlines and send them to my partner before sending them to professor Jonas and on Thursday I send the outlines to professor Jonas he replied on Friday after I sent him a reminder
 * I wasn't able to add much content to the outlines or do any changes because I was so busy with learning Lisp concepts and solving Hw2 questions it took me almost all the week.
 * for the text book I had chance to review the pearl part in chapter 3 I found some more content to add.
 * for chapter 4 in the textbook I also read it and had the chance to do a draft about it just have to check it with my partner before I add it on Wiki.
 * finished and submitted HW2.


 * Plan:
 * my plan for this week was to focus more on Hw2 so I watched a lot of tutorials, tried to do different kind of lisp exercises.it took me almost all the week to do Hw2 I spent more than 12 hour learning the language and almost 24 hour to do the HW.
 * send an email to Brian to start working on this week's notes, since I will be so busy with the HW and I think he has better coding experience than me so he will not spend all week on HW like me.
 * try to find some time to finish my tasks on the textbook.

my concern for this week is I am sure that I will not be able to do all the tasks that I have unless I finish the HW.
 * Concerns:

I accomplished all the tasks this week, I finished chapter 5, I think one of the guys in the group is supposed to check and edit some grammar and spelling issues, one of my main concerns over all the semester was the 2nd lecture notes Brian was supposed to complete the 2nd and as I expected he didn't so I had to do it myself.


 * Plan:

I think I have done a lot in this project I added a lot of details in chapter 3 I did almost all the Python coding Part. and I finished chapter 5. I am not sure what else I need to do but the graduate group want to have another meeting after the final exam to talk about the book, the plan for now is to prepare for the Final test.
