Day 106 of Flatiron School
I’ve been moving along as of late. Today I was able to knock out my Tic-Tac-Toe in jQuery project. Well, it’ll be done VERY soon. I paired with another student Henno who’s in a time zone 7 hours ahead of mine. I had just started and he was looking for a partner so while he read upon the project and had a bit I got the first three controller tests to pass.
Day 102 of Flatiron School
So I’m pulling back from my daily blog unless I have code to write about. I can concentrate on school and extra 30 mins to an hour per day if I don’t write. Here’s something interesting I’m pondering and haven’t tested yet. I’m not really sure why I haven’t tested it but… // To ensure JS is loaded after the page loads $(document).ready(function () { }) // Better way to do the same $(function () { }) // Does this work?
Day 100 of Flatiron School
I’ve reached the 100 day mark. I have to say, I honestly thought I’d be done by now. I’m 82% of the way there. It’s going to be a mad dash to the end. I really, really, really don’t want to pay another full month’s tuition when I finish a few days into that billing cycle. So it’s pretty simple. I have to finish by June 27th. We’ll see what happens.
Day 99 of Flatiron School
Not much to report today. I spent my time working through some labs that were about popular Ruby Gems and how to find good ones. Paperclip, Kaminari, and Active Admin were presented and gone over. I also found out that RubyMine is going to be my IDE basically for the rest of the curriculum. This is because I’m writing Rails back end and JS front end. WebStorm is a 100% JS IDE so it would have serious problems with the Rails part of the apps I’ll be building.
Day 98 of Flatiron School
I finally got back into the swing of Flatiron. I did <30 mins of school yesterday so I just chose to blog about FCC. A lot of reading going on as of late. The Rails asset pipeline and how to use it. I actually figured out some of this since I implemented Bootstrap in my Rails Portfolio Project. It felt good to plow through some labs tonight. I’m so close. Now is the time to crank up the intensity and really go at it to the finish line.

I'm a family man that works hard and is looking to get ahead. I'm smart and love tech. That's all there is to it.
