I’m happy to say I’ve survived the first week of Coding Bootcamp! As my mother would have said, it was an ugly business, but clean living prevailed!
I’m also happy to report that our instructor approved the proposal for my project website. This is going to be our first major project. We have to create a multi-page website that’s functional (or as functional as it can be without JavaScript), correctly coded, correctly formatted, unique, impressive, and checked into Git with meaningful notes–all due by next Thursday. Oh, and this project will determine if we can continue on with the Code Academy or be booted back to our original jobs…not that there is any pressure…
Needless to say, my project website is going to be about knitting…and crocheting…and anything yarn-related. I’m thinking I’d like the main gist of the site to be a blog, where I can entertain people with my funny knitting and crocheting adventures (stop laughing…this is indeed a thing!). We need to do an “About Me” page, a login page, a registration page, and a main user interaction page. I’m planning to make the user interaction page a place where people can buy my patterns. Okay…I have exactly TWO patterns that anyone might be interested in buying, and one that’s still a scratched-up mess on a piece of paper, but the point is to make the page, so I’m going to muddle along with this the best I can.
Looks like I’m going to be busy over the weekend…
