Project Day... It's Saturday, do I have to count it?

I took a mental health day yesterday and caught up on a bunch of tv shows. Yea, not the best use of my time. However, I did crack open the Bootstrap book and did some of the exercises.

What I have learned so far:

  • "href-"css/bootstrap.min.css" != "href="css/bootstrap.min.css"
  • I make a lot of typing errors when copying code
  • It is very difficult to catch the above typing errors
  • Bootstrap's grid system makes sense to me
  • I like drawing boxes and figuring out what goes in them
  • Also, I realized that I need to figure out how wide each column is and need to calculate that.
So, Bootstrap is ok to use. I need to learn more, but now, I have an idea of how to set things up. Theoretically. I'm at my parents' house where we shall celebrate an early, family-Thanksgiving. I'm reading more about Bootstrap and I can't wait to get to designing/building my app which I think shall look like some old style web page but Bootstrap-y too.

I also think I need to start going to some of these hackathons and see if I can network, get better. Group of Hackbrighters took part in the LinkedIn DevelopHer Hackathon and took 2nd place. Good for them!!!

This week, we shall have a field trip to Intuit. Let's hope I feel more inspired or feel like I'll be able to get a tech job after that field trip.
