Facts

This week was a busy week for me. I implemented a basic Task app using spring. Through the code reviews, I learned many things like javadocs, immutable objects, and synchronized keywords. I also started this blog. O

Feelings

Out of all things, i felt good about getting reviews and applying what i learned. I started to feel that this is how everyone should learn. I felt that i wasted many years of learning without writing a blog and reflecting on what i learned. However, i should turn them into positive feelings because now i truly understand how to learn.

Findings

Through the iterations of code reviews and researching, i found that real learning takes a place when you get feedback, research about it, and write a blog. Without feedback, it is difficult to know if you are doing it right. Once you research a certain topic, you get a chance to look at the official document and try to apply it to your project. In that sense, you are not dependent on blogs or videos. Writing a blog is a good way to summarize what you learn. Often, you think that you understand something; in fact, that is not the case. By summarizing and writing about it, you could filter out what you understand from what you don't. Additionally, it is good to share your knowledge!

Affirmation

For the next project, i will actively look into official documents and apply what i learn. The blog is the best thing, so i will continue to write at least 3 blogs per week to reflect on and summarize what i learn.
