Programming Throwdown Episode 123 Project Planning.

Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody.

So we are here having another duo episode to talk about project planning,

which is something that is super important.

I think that there might be a dedicated class.

I think at my college there was a class like a, it was a class called software engineering,

but it was an elective, and I never took it.

But apparently if you take in that class, they actually cover project planning.

But I had zero experience with project planning, you know, academic experience.

And so, you know, it would have been

awesome for me to have this episode or something like it when I started. I feel like it's something

that that is super, super important to make sure that you kind of follow through. And also like so

that you're not just overwhelmed mentally with everything, that you're able to sort of, you know,

keep a lot of these notes so you don't have to kind of have a brain dumb, you know.

Yeah. I think I also missed to that class. So yeah, it's all right. We'll make up for it today.

You know, actually, I remember the reason I didn't take it was because they spent a huge chunk of the semester talking about UML. And I looked up UML on the internet. And I was like, no, no, I don't think I want to take this class.

Oh, man. That rings right up there with I looked up the teacher ratings and the teacher is rated as hard. So I, uh, I didn't, no, I'm just, I didn't say that. I just, I hear people say that. Yeah, I think UML was, and I don't even, it's going to be very lucid here, but I think it was some kind of diagramming thing where I remember there's like a picture of a person and the person goes into a flow chart and then I guess a happier

person comes out or something. I don't know that the person goes into the flow chart, but

it was enough. UML is interesting. We should talk about it at some point. I mean, I think it's like

the idea that is it unified or universal modeling language? I mean, like the idea for describing architecture that way is useful. But I think it had a heyday, probably, yeah, like around the mid 2000s, the aughts. Is that what they were calling them? The zero axes. Anyways, there on that time where they thought

they were gonna auto generate code
