I am officially at 6 months, I am very excited to have made it this far. I am 100% in love with coding at this point, I still have an endless amount of things to learn, but I absolutely love the journey!
I'm going to be waiting till the May 3rd or 4th to launch my friends landscaping website, and the reason is, I need to work more on my CSS and JavaScript skills, so I'm taking a really good course through Lynda.com and loving it.
I was finishing up the functionality of the landscaping site and realizing that the CSS was not turning out the way I wanted it to, so I decided to take an extra week to put something out that I would be proud of.
This blog started 6 months ago, as a way of holding me accountable to study and then to write about what I was learning. In the spirit of transparency I will be showing my entire Mac Stickie Note hourly chart I use to keep track of the time I spent studying. These Stickie Notes are unedited just how they look on my computer. Sorry it's so long and weird but here it is:
