Where’d the time go?
So much for keeping up with my posts this past week. On that note, just a quick update: I’m no longer Instagramming everyday either because I figure, rather than post a picture everyday, work on either my passion project or some other coding project everyday instead. Why? Cause I want to get to the level where I can build my own photo app and shit. Anyways, yeah, time just flew by over the past several days. Kinda crazy to think that this past week, I got a mentee and started Week 1 of Phase 2. Buncha Sinatra and Active Record; routes on routes on routes. We built a Craigslist Jr. and a Lil’ Twitter clone. In terms of learning completely new things, this past week was rather light in terms of content. But we’re starting up our passion projects (which I’ll share in due time) and hell’s about to open its doors. So they say. Supposedly this coming week is hell week cause we’ll be learning about JavaScript, jQuery, and AJAX. I feel pretty comfortable with the first two, but reviewing is never a bad thing, so I’ll do a bit tonight before I head to bed. AJAX doesn’t sound too frightening, not sure why. It could be because I’m starting to get used to picking up new things fairly quickly, and I really owe that to the way DBC runs things. It’s just mind-blowing how much we’ve managed to learn over the past 4-5 weeks. So despite all the stuff we’ll be cramming into our brains this week, I’m hella excited. Especially cause we’ll be dabbling in a lot of front-end stuff this week (finally). And yeah, “hella” has officially made it into my vocabulary book. Week 5? Let’s go. Song for the week: Inhale Exhale by Nao https://soundcloud.com/thisnao/nao-inhale-exhale Cause I’ll definitely need to remember to breathe this week.
