Reflection

Working with java was a very unique experience compared to what I am used to with python. The structure of the language was initially the most off-putting, because I am not used to a completely object oriented method of programming. Usually with Python, I blend objected oriented and functional programming to make a more effective script. Otherwise, I learned a lot about storing information locally for websites to fetch. And it was a wonderful experience working with my group to accomplish a shared goal in building a functional website for requesting and playing music.
