Day 50 of Flatiron School
Not much to report today. I got some free passes from being a member of American Mensa to see Gifted. So the wife and I went to see that tonight. It’s a good movie and I recommend it. I finished up the controller and views for one part of my Sinatra project. It’s coming along nicely. Now that I have this done I don’t think the next two controllers and associated views will take as long.
Rest is important.
I decided to take the weekend off and enjoy the Easter holiday with the family. I had been going hard for almost 7 straight weeks. Back at it tomorrow. I also ordered my Code & Quill Origin this weekend. Looking forward to getting my notebooks just in time to take notes on Rails. Time spent today: 0:00 Time spent total: 188:40 Lessons completed today: 0 Lessons completed total: 405
Day 47 of Flatiron School
So about that not being fancy that I talked about last night. I took a good chunk of time today and figured out how to implement Bootstrap in my portfolio project. I figured this was my first web app and should probably look somewhat nice. I have a navbar that changes if you’re logged in or not and then I’m using the form and typography stylings. It’s definitely taking me longer to write my forms out and I’m making sure my app actually will look good so that is taking more time as well.
Day 46 of Flatiron School
It’s late so I’ll be brief. I crushed my project tonight and I’m ready to start my Sinatra portfolio project tomorrow. I think I can have an ugly version (desktown down design, raw forms, no nav bar or footer) done tomorrow at some point and then leave it alone until after my project review with an instructor. We’ll see how that goes. The requirements are: Build an MVC Sinatra Application.
Day 45 of Flatiron School
Taking it easy tonight. I have to get some work done for Gift of Adoption Fund, the non-profit I volunteer on the board for here in TN. Shameless plug, Like our Facebook Page please. I finished up the NYC lab in <30 minutes. The second controller and views were much more simple. I didn’t get a chance to refactor my code yet. However, I don’t think a helper methods are needed as I didn’t use that code anywhere in my other controller.
