Homework: Discussion: Programming skills
You did a variety of things in lab activities earlier today: designing code from scratch, filling in missing code, analyzing code, inventing convincing test values, and collaborating with a partner.
In your post, include answers to the following.
  1. What made these tasks hard? (Or, if you found them easy, what aspects of the activities might have caused trouble for a less experienced programmer?)
  2. What general skills might help a programmer do better at tasks like the ones listed above?
Also, respond to the list of one of your classmates by suggesting ways that a student could best learn the skills in the list. Draw on personal experience where relevant.
Mention the names and logins of you and your partner in your post.
