I can't believe that I'm done with 3 weeks. This is crazy! I've seemed to have learned a lot, but can't remember crap from the previous week. Also, remembering which type of syntax goes where... good lord.
Today, we worked in Python, HTML, Flask and Jinja2... yes... 4 different syntaxes right there all working together or not. Oh and don't forget to throw in a bit of SQLite3 too...
At least today I had a partner who wasn't too far ahead of me. She is much more confident typing out the code where I still freeze. However, I was able to figure out some of the key points of logic as to why our code wasn't working or what was causing issues. AND for once, I was able to get through the entire exercise early! We were finished by 5:11, got a code review from the awesome Joel who said that our code was basically good, but he gave us some style suggestions. We fixed our code up as per his suggestions and that took us til 6pm almost exactly. It was a great feeling to finish!
This whole experience has really been great for me. In the past few years, I've noticed how hard I find it to ask for help or to be wrong. Hackbright has taught me humility. It's OK to not be right all the time and to be able to ask for help. I may not be a great or even good programmer by the end of all this, but I'll be decent and I'll be able to figure out how to find the answers to my questions or puzzles.
On Wednesday, we shall have a study day. I'm going to keep going through my JavaScript book and try to get this into my head.
I am determined to get JS and HTML to work together!!!
