Week Seven


Monday beginning of week 7.
 I started this week freshly after having my pull request merged during the week that just passed, I Needed to move to new things and I went straing to the Openmrs webservice to consume the methods that i just added, During t he process of adding this method, I Tried accessing the methods which i added into core and non of them was available , i tried compiling and it failed then i realized it is not sync with the core during the build so i had to after some googling and seeking for help on the irc channel resulted to the option of me sending and email to my mentor for help in addressing the concern. I therefore got a reply with instructions on how i can do to get pass this blocker. I quickly implimented as i was told and there i went with build success.

 After having a sucessful build, 
 Now i went straight away to adding the functionality i was about to add. Immediately i started i noticed I was alsmost exposing the alot of logic to the rest webservice which shoud have been done onthe openmrs-core i immediately left and went back to core where i implimented a service method setUserActivation key so the clients will only need to post to the url and no have to do some logic in their side. I added all and the logic required and i was left with sending email with the token that the user provided.

 I also after haven implimented this feature i made a commit and sent a link of the commit to my mentor after he looked at it, he replied with some reasons feedback which i took in to consideration, I was also told to wait and untill we discuss on the pattern for how i should go ahead before i continue. I waited and by thursday i had a call with him via Uberconference where we discussed analysed and came to the conclusion on what and how i should continue with the work. My mentor gave some suggestions which had to do with the way password update is currently implimented and using the userCredential object rather than the user object which i innitially used. I had to use the remaining period of the week familiarizing with the portions of code he asked me to review.
This marked the end of week 7 and i left with the follwing work in mind to accomplish. ie Finalize the creation and hasing of reset token and then i make a pull request. after which i make a different pull request this time around with sending email as the major work done in the pull request.

Algorithm Design A Call For Concern To Software Engineers

Image
Algorithms in its entirety are often misunderstood and misinterpreted by most of the software engineers or developers. Technically every software or program you develop does use an algorithm and in most cases brute-force that is the obvious solution and at times the easiest. In computer science and software engineering, the concern is in solving problems and any problem that needs to be solved requires a solution in a finite amount of time and using the smallest amount of resources as possible.  In this post is the discussion about the importance and need for a software engineer to be able and capable of designing a good algorithm in his or her software development lifetime. This post will also go further to demonstrate on the side effects that you as a developer have without basic knowledge of algorithms,  the software that you build and the community that uses the software you build. Importance of good algorithm design. Algorithm design is important because They make ...

A health wise peep into the life of a home based developer

First look at the lifestyle of a developer: Basically, a home-based developer though it applies to an office developer. It all begins with the lifestyle of the individual. Haven lived in this lifestyle and among other developers who equally lived a similar lifestyle, I can say the following.  Most developers take it as a lifestyle in that skipping breakfast is the order of the day and telling you that the last meal they take was maybe yesterday afternoon is a common wording that you can hear. This is not because they don’t have the means to get the food but most times because they neither felt hungry nor hadn’t any time to look for something and eat. This even goes further when they happened to get something and eat they eat what is termed junk food. Here I mean they go for what is readily available and takes less effort to acquire. They end up with things like bread, or just carbohydrate food. That is if we are to qualify it as food then they might spend their remaining time...

I accomplished these by hastening up my speed in fixing reviews, then i created new branches called general fix where all the light works related to renaming adding exception modifying exception messages and as well writing tests. Rest webservice. After sucessfully finishing with the core and everything merged, I went straight away to the  rest webservice module where i added 2 endpoint to handle the get with provided activation and a post with new credentials  password and activation key. this i did before consulting my mentor and  after consulting him. There was alot of other design changes such. i had to send and email message to my two mentors ie primary mentor and backup mentor. I also posted on talk here   from this talk post i received many criticism and all of them were positively to my benefits in finishing u...
