Reflection

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Slack API? Did you learn anything that would be useful for your next project involving an API?	I used Slack Api's tester section. I learned that post and get are different enough to require completely different structures for implementation.
Give a short summary of the request/response cycle. Where does your program fit into that scheme?	A user (my program) sends a request to a server (slack API) . My request is for information from the server, and the response includes a message telling me how my request was recieved ("ok = true
How does your program check for and handle errors when using the Slack API?	I created a class of error called API_error that reports the API error message back to the user if the get or post request didn't go through.
How did the design and organization of your project change over time?	So much. So goddamn much. I learned a lot about the super keyword and a lot more nuance of inheritance as it pertains to class and instance and private methods. So, the structure of Recipient (parent) and User/Channel (children) changed a lot - where certain methods were instantiated (right word?) changed. What was a class or instance method changed. Some things migrated between Workspace and Recipient quite a bit. My overall class structure pretty muched stayed the same though.
Did you use any of the inheritance idioms we've talked about in class? How?	Inheritance. Mentioned above.
How does VCR aid in testing a program that uses an API?	Not overloading the api serivce you are using with requests everytime you run tests.
