Our first framework lesson

Hello again,     It is getting close to the end of our first month. and so far we have started lessons on our first framework. Like javascript, its basically combining html, css and javascript into 1 whole library. Basically web developers galore if you were to put it into words. The concept of making separate components in each separate file can get pretty irritating at first, and not mentioning the fact of combining all of your languages into one whole framework. In reality just like all other things it just requires a lot of repetition and practice. So far I'm doing all that I can to practice as much as I can during the weekend.    There has also been a slight problem as well, and I literally was not hoping I would have to deal with such a thing but ever since elementary school and also middle school, things always felt sort of like a competition. You find one other student, that is either looking down upon you or they are just completely on your level in knowledge of a ce
Hello again,     The last time I have written a blog was about the 3rd day I started school for lambda, well by now its the end of the 2nd week. So far I am enjoying every bit of learning computer science and learning about the things I am so passionate about. So far we have gotten through  the data structures content and have went through hashtables, trees and graphs. The important one was making sure that your code had a simplistic time complexity, which what we call the Big O notation. These measurements would test out the complexity of the algorithm you wrote. Theres already plans of making a project for the demo night and I have made many friends from the program!. There is still things that need to be worked on, but so far it is going pretty great. I have learned a lot, and I intend to keep going down this path.    The opportunities  are far too great by the time the 6 months are over and by the time the program is over, my background in computer science would be far greater

The Grind is real

    Hello,         So far its been day 3 of the program, and right now things are just going a little bit slower than expected. Luckily this program is 6 months long with the content we are learning. My partner and I have been following along with the curriculum and so far my partner has been pretty slow with the work. He had a difficult time understanding the content, and with the experience that I have acquired from programming in java and also swift, javascript just kind of flowed naturally for me, especially working with object oriented and also class structured syntax. The environment I have been in was not the best at all either. So far I have been crashing on my friends couch for the past couple of days, on the lookout for a place to rent for the next 6 months. So far I have been learning a lot and have been working on my javascript 4 to 6 hours each day. Its only day 3 for now and the objective for right now is to keep up with the content as much as  I can.     Right n

Getting ready

Hello,      So I decided to do another post before I officially start my class on monday. This is a different type of school, so I have to keep in mind that the structure of the classroom is going to be different from a traditional 4 year university. Whats going to be new to me is that basically I'm going to be taught from a webcam application called zoom where basically people would have meetings.   As I prepare for class on monday, I took a look at the syllabus and they just sent us out a schedule of the 6 months that is going to take place. It was very structured and they seem like they know what they were doing with this. My strengths in javascript is starting to become more pure and I basically have determined of which languages are now my strong suite.   Over the span of 6 months we are going to be taught not only javascript, but c++, react, designing api, computer architecture, advanced algorithms, data structures, and a lot more!. Which concludes to the capstone pro

New school New beginnings

Hello Again,     Its been a couple of weeks since I have made a post but let me just recap of what I went through during my time. Over the past few weeks I have been contemplating on wether or not I should attend the product college and fully commit to the move to san francisco. Although there didnt seem any other choice but to do the interview for the product college, I cam across an ad on facebook. I wasnt surprised on how many coding school ads I got a day onto facebook, but this one literally came clutch. I clicked on the link and I was surprised to see that there was another school that fell under the same category under makeschool. It was called lambda academy of computer science, and no its not a calculus class. What shocked me even more was that it was a full online immersive program, I saw nothing but positive reviews for the school. I immediately clicked the apply section, and put in all of my personal information    Besides all the basic procedures for an application
