Final Post :(

So, I guess is the end of the road for me and Object-Oriented Programming, well, at least the class at UT Austin. Honestly though, I cannot stress enough how much I have learned in this class. Dr. Downing is by all means an asset to this University in teaching students about the world of C++ and the subtleties of different Object Oriented programming languages.

I recently took my last exam in the class last Friday, and while I did not do too well, I understand each and every error I made. The truth is that I did not get a whole lot of sleep the night before because I was working on an Operating Systems project that was due at 8 am. The project, however, was in C++, and the subjects we learned about in Object-Oriented Programming proved vital to complete the project. I have no idea how anyone else who did not already know C++ came up with even a half-decent design when they were too worried about just getting their code to compile.

My only wish for this class is that I would have done better on the tests. It really irks me that I made the mistakes I made during test time. The thing is, I did stellar on all the projects, barely missing any points. I do very well in the application of the things I've learned in a development environment, but when it comes time to take the test I get a little anxious and answer questions too quickly.

It is because of this class that I have taken some leaps into C++ and that C++ is now my favorite programming language. It is light years faster than Java, and the amount of power it offers is incredible.

A++. Great Communication. Would take again!!!!
