I’ve nearly finished the HTML/CSS section of Code Academy. It has been interesting to see how different resources teach HTML in different ways. Between the book I’ve been reading on the subject and the course, I feel like it’s starting to make sense. I won’t know for sure until I start working on my own project, but I’m optimistic.

One thing I’ve been frustrated with on Code Academy is that I don’t have a great way to have things explained to me. I’m perfectly fine with knowing that there are certain rules to coding, but I like to know why those certain rules are in place. This is hopefully where the instructors will prove valuable once I start.

The campus visit went well. I felt like it was a good idea to see the place in person. The instructors all seemed very friendly and helpful. They made it clear that they do their best to see that the students get whatever resources they need to become successful developers. I look forward to getting started in 4 short weeks.

I should have access to my pre-coursework any day now. My deposit has been paid and my seat is reserved! I was told to expect that to take me around 20 hours to complete, so I’m anxious to get started. Things should be picking up soon and I hope to be more frequent with posting here once they do.

Until next time!
