100 Days of Code – 100% complete!

First of all, sorry for the delay on this post. I’m writing this while I’m in an airplane over the Atlantic, on my way to Stockholm.

I feel like a real Cory Doctorow, blogging from 40,000 feet!

I wasn’t able to complete my music player project by the end of the 100 days, but I do at least have something to show for it. I’ve been trying to implement concurrent programming, so the play time can increment once a second while the program’s accepting other input.

This has been extremely hard. I finally had to ask some of my friends who program about how they’d do it, and my friend Patrick gave me some tips on how to use the multiprocessing module. I was able to get a test program to work, but I wasn’t able to get this implemented in the main program.

I might circle back to this program once I return from vacation. Or I might do something else! I feel a lot more confident programming now, so I’ll probably build some more small projects in the future.

I’ll follow up in about a week with an overall impression of the challenge. If you have any questions, feel free to comment down below, and I’ll answer those on the next post!
