Day Three

Most of yesterday was spent working on CSS.  By the end of the day I managed to finish the main assignment for the day and got a head start on today’s.

I got frustrated with the first project which had us re-creating a fake blog provided. After spending way too much time getting going nowhere with this, I finally just decided to start over. The second pass went much more smoothly and produced the results below. I can’t tell you how satisfying it was to finally have that looking the way I intended.

This was the point where I decided to nuke my existing code and start over

Tadaa!

The following assignment expanded on these concepts and stumped me for several hours. After a lecture, however, things “clicked” and I was able to wrap things up fairly quickly. Somehow I managed to complete this assignment with 0 errors after validating it on my first pass. I am pretty happy about that.

Today we had a “Tech Talk” with someone from the industry speaking about his experience programming and giving us advice. I appreciated hearing from someone that has made a career doing this.

That pretty well catches everything up. Currently, I’m avoiding jumping back into the current project as I’ve hit another wall and needed a break.

Thanks for stopping by!
