Last Friday I passed my “Yellow Belt” exam for the Web Fundamentals track. The test consisted of recreating an image of a website in only HTML/CSS and without using float. I finished the four and a half hour test with around 10 minutes to spare. I felt OK about it, but not particularly thrilled. Positioning blocks of content still gives me some trouble, but that’s just something I’ll have to work on.

I’ve started a bit of a personal project. It will just be a goofy site, but I’m hoping to have more to share on that soon.

We started this week off with JQuery. I’ve never seen JQuery prior to this, so it has been a fairly steep learning curve. I’ve kept up with my assignments fairly well so far, but I feel like I’m having more trouble with some of these concepts than I would like, but I really do feel like I go home every night having learned a lot.

We spend an hour or more a day working on algorithms. These have been fairly complicated, but I’ve enjoyed the breakthrough moments, when they happen.

Things have been pretty packed lately, so I apologize for the post gaps. I do my best to collect my thoughts here often, but I come home fairly drained every night. I’ll do my best to keep things up to date.

Thanks for stopping by.
