I feel like I have been barely treading water, grasping at new knowledge as fast as I can absorb it. I am saturated. With Coding Bootcamp just three weeks away, I am feeling nervous about how complicated the simple things are to master. I have begun this journey and I am committed and hopeful that everything will make sense soon. I need all of the basics first.
Practicing typing is so boring. Unlearning bad habits is awkward and demoralizing. I have no choice but to keep slamming away at the keyboard until it becomes second nature and I laugh about my clumsy two finger typing.
The Coding Dojo sent me some homework to accomplish before I start the Boot-camp. It is all basic stuff, I can't believe how complicated it is. I can't put together the pieces because I am still building my base knowledge up. My Godness!
I don't know if this is everyone's experience, but the text editor has been giving me some trouble. Mostly just completely confusing the hell out o me. It is supposed to be the simple one... The one I have on my windows is working fine (notebook ++) But the one on my MacBook (atom) has been complicated. I had a moment of fear last night that I wasn't going to be able to pull this off, considering how hard the first basic stuff is. I decided that I will have to just wait and see.
Speaking of git and github... complicated anyone. Well at least for my newbie's eyes. I have been working on it on youtube. It has been a slow process, I will let you know if the clouds have parted for me in my next blog post.
I have been watching endless youtube classes on the subject. I have been making buttons, links, different fonts, colors, layouts, columns, and forms. Wow, I guess I have been learning stuff. Sometimes it doesn't feel like it.
