Sprint 3

This sprint was orientated around going through the Haskell from first principles book (complete up to chapter 9). And also learn the basics of Bash.

Sprint begin : 02-10-18

Sprint end: 16-10-18

Happiness scale: 8.⁵⁄₁₀

I am happy with Haskell and like it as a language. It has made me really understand the benefits of a strictly typed language.

Positive:

• Looked into SoCraTes and got the ball rolling for booking the conference.
• Gained a grater understanding of types.
• Became competent enough in Haskell to start mini projects.
• Learnt basic bash commands and learnt how to write bash scripts.
• Went to German school placement meeting so should be able to start attending German lessons twice a week.
• Completed the Munich Half Marathon!!! Here are some pics

Negative:

• Didn’t do many Katas, there is currently no one pushing to organise and lead them in the morning.
• Didn’t sort trip to Bottighofen because I’m still waiting for my social security number.
• Didn’t complete chapter 9, only got to chapter 8. However the sprint wasn’t necessarily to complete chapter 9 but to get to a level of competency that I can start small projects in the next sprint, which I think I have achieved.

General notes:

The sprint was to complete chapter 9 however I only completed chapter 8. I also learnt the basics of bash commands and learnt how to write bash scripts. I have now ditched the git desktop and only use git through git commands and also try and solely use bash to navigate my directories.

Action items:

• To Sort out Bottighofen documents and plan trip
• To book SoCraTes
• Continue going through the Haskell from first principles book but also do mini projects on the side with Exercism
• To research and learn about another tool (Vim maybe)
• learn/use some Haskell testing frameworks
