What I did in a 62-day code streak
I committed code on Github for 62 days, I wanted to go for 75 days but it didn’t happen and I was close. Here are the topics of what I learned and did during the coding streak.
AJAX and jQuery
When I first begin learning about Javascript there were many parts I did not fully understand. Javascript also made my head hurt and I didn’t know how to grasp concepts. A couple of these difficult necessities were AJAX and jQuery. Currently I’ve been learning Javascript through Flatiron School and sometimes I can read a lesson four times and still be confused. I’ve always remembered an instructor advising me to seek Google help on tough topics. I decided this was the opportune moment to practice my searching skills and learn the difference of AJAX and jQuery.
Take a hike with Rails Portfolio Project
Rails is magic if you first adventure into it without learning what’s going on behind the scenes. In the Flatiron Course you first will learn about SQL, ORMs, ActiveRecord and Sinatra. Then you will begin Rails with a foundational understanding of Rails. It’s important to understand what is going on under the hood because Rails will abstract all your coding. If there is confusion or uncertainity of what Rails is doing, it’s best to learn about the “magic” that’s occurring.
