Okay, things are a bit confused here at work. My current assignment, due today, is to write an API that another intern can call to get access to a database that contains information on different E-- branch locations. All things considered, this shouldn't be too hard of a task. It involves doing a few things I haven't done before, like deploying web services in Java, but that shouldn't really be an issue. What is an issue is the fact that I have been instructed to leverage existing classes as much as possible, but in the two weeks I've had this assignment, I've never actually been given access to any of these existing classes. I do have copies of them, but they import so many other packages that I can't use them without full access. So I've spent the last few days writing code against code that I don't have access to. Which means I haven't compiled or tested anything. A pretty scary thing. I just hope it all works when I finally get a chance to run it. (If I ever get a chance to run it.)
