Week Ending February 6, 2018
  Discuss and decide on the work to be done individually on the textbook project as a group.   Go through Perl docs to figure out how to do assignment 1  
 * Task:

  Decided to do code snippets for the textbook project. Started working on assignment 1 by breaking it up into 3 parts   Hashing data   File Reading   Capturing user input </li> </ol> </li> </ul>
 * Results:

  Go through chapter one of the textbook and see if I can improve the existing coding examples or add more to make the narrative easier to understand.  Finish first two parts of the assignment and go through BNF grammar. </li> </ul>
 * Plan:

Trying to make code as simple as possible to reduce BNF grammar complexity.
 * Concerns:

Week Ending February 13, 2018
Figuring out BNF and perl.
 * Task:

It took some time but now that I got some understanding of it, it helps when I try to look at other grammars like python. Perl was a little confusing because there are many ways to do one thing but now it feels more natural after getting a better understanding of it.
 * Results:

I am gonna spend 6 hrs on BNF as I am pretty confused and spent 3 hrs on Perl.
 * Plan:

I am still a little concerned about my understanding of BNF.
 * Concerns:

Week Ending February 20, 2018
Learning Perl and figuring out a language which can be used to implement same problem in multiple paradigms so as to make the understanding of the textbook more intuitive. And also do the implementations for functional and interpreted paradigms. I also wanted to do further research in LISP
 * Task:

I learned that python or perl could be to do the task and decided to go with python as I felt it was a more well known language compared to perl. I did some studying into lisp which was pretty helpful.
 * Results:

I plan to spend 2 hrs in figuring out the program for paradigms task and 3 hrs on LISP.
 * Plan:

No concerns this week as everything went pretty well.
 * Concerns:

Week Ending February 27, 2018

 * Task:

Check with everyone if they want any programs for their chapters and do some classwork.


 * Results:

 * Concerns:

I currently have no concerns as everything is going pretty smoothly.

Finish the scratch project write-up. Also, complete the first draft of the textbook chapter.
 * Task:

Was able to complete the write up on time and also was able to make a lot of progress on the textbook chapter's first draft.

 * Plan:


 * Concerns:

I don't really have any concerns this week.

Week Ending March 20, 2018
My task is to write about Imperative paradigm Comparison with other Paradigms Expression and Assignment Scope and Visibility I also am working on my scratch project.
 * Task:

After some research I felt comparison is pointless since none of the other paradigms have been explained yet. I was able to make progress in the other two topics.
 * Results:

I plan to do this over the weekend. I want to finish the writing first before the project.
 * Plan:

No concerns for now.

The game seems to be getting more complex and is my main concern.
