Self-Comment
• I was not able to get Ktor to function and gave up trying to use it for backend & frontend. Migrated to node.js server and socket.io. Android app now connects :)
• Looking forward to sharing our progress for next meetup. Especially now that the connection to server has been made, I can focus on the app itself.
• Meetup went well! First time going out and networking with other SE. Felt great! Also picked up some new knowledge on REST. Most of it went over my head as nearly all(except Postman!) tools used were new to me. There is a git repo that has documentation on how to use the code presented. May look into it at a later date when I'm ready to go more in depth on the topic
• Finished up most of Ch.6 Trees except for the challenges. I'm going to cover those in the morning.
Goals Tomorrow
• Continue Section III: Trees
