Team. The next season of teaching offers four "lecture" courses. This includes a programming fundamentals course in Python for an international on-line distance education program, a couple of remote delivery courses for a local community college, which likely will include an information literacy course, and a freshman computing elective at a local Jesuit university. Over the next few weeks, the author must prepare himself for this upcoming term. A couple of these "specific" courses the author has not taught previously, although he has given many similar lectures. He could enter each class session and "wing it", but that does make for the occasional "poor" performance.
The long and the short of it is this, he must postpone work on the fourth phase of this project. Which is about a 16.0 PH coding effort. It also requires refreshing some "long-forgotten" programming skills in C. Many of the modern languages, such a JAVA, C#, and etc., provide memory management under the hood and automatically allocates space as needed plus comes bundled with many useful data structures.
And, although this effort's goal is providing a "proof of concept" prototype for the CABOOSE controller pattern and not an "optimized", "professional-grade" solution, each language's object file should handle a reasonably-sized input. This includes the one created in C, whose language features for dynamically resizing data structures is "messier" than many other "more modern" languages.
So, we will plan on delivery of this phase by 08.31.2020, and the final multilingual project in fourteen "unique" languages well-before 01.01.2021.
