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 process, there was also a logic test just to see if you're qualified for the school. This is where the fun part comes in, I put my time and effort into the test and some were pretty complex problems. One involved me using a formula that I have once learned in calculus class. Nonetheless, I had finished the logics test, and my application was off, I instantly got an email stating that they would be announcing the acceptances in a few days. I did more research on the school and I saw a caption that showed the acceptance rate for students. They were very picky with students and it worried me the moment I saw the numbers, there was nothing I can do but wait.

  A fast forward few days later, they sent me an email stating that they would send out the acceptance letters by midnight. I was nothing but nervous, and couldnt sleep that night. With everything that was going on, I wanted to get in so bad. With all my goals and the things on my mind, I knew for a fact that it would be my moment to shine if my acceptance came through. Minute by minute and hour by hour, I got the letter back and am now fully admitted into the program :) . With all the soul searching and filling out applications, I finally found the right school for me. I have been in contact with my cohort for the past couple of days now and everyone in the community has been so helpful to me. I couldnt ask for a better school and am ecstatic to start class very soon :). I finally happy to say that I can finally make my comeback as a student and become something I shouldve been all along. The program lasts for 6 months, monday-friday from 9am to 6pm!. The stats look very tough but I believe in myself that I can accomplish this!. Until then my journey is just the beginning to a beautiful start, I am just so happy I found something that was right in my face all along.

Development Using the Firebase console

Hello again Friend,       Theres 11 days till christmas and I am making the big move on developing my first app. The app that I envisioned is an organization app of fashion photography. This app will consist of an interface that  will allow you to organize your pictures of clothes, so you can have a basic idea of what clothes you would want to wear the next day. The name of the app will be called the 'creative closet' and it will allow the user to mix and match clothes along with that organize outfits that you have matched. i plan to have an endless variety of organization of what you can do with the app. I just started working on the interface, and hopefully everything will go according to plan. Other than the news I have for my startup, I went through some digging of my past work I did back in High School. As I stated in the earlier blog, I have been coding since I was in elementary school and one of the ways I started was by playing around with html and css codi...

Backend development

Hello,     First and for most, I want to thank those for reading my blog. It definitely means a lot to me that you willing to know more about the school that is making such an impact on my life and the process of becoming a developer. We just started our 2nd week of mongodb and what I've noticed is that the process of making an api is getting harder and harder. We learned that promises over callbacks tend to have a cleaner look rather than callbacks, because it makes them easier to read. Also with the more complex web apps that is being built the harder the back end is going to be. This stuff is not easy, but boy oh boy, stuff like this is making me love cs even more. I'm definitely going to have to practice more backend stuff, because programming stuff like this makes me feel even more like a programmer.   As for the project goes so far we have our first full stack project coming up real soon, so my mind is having mixed thoughts on what I want to do as a project, because...

Holidays Post and update with new years resolutions

Hello again,     Its been a couple of days since I posted but I'll give a recap of what I just accomplished over the 2 weeks. Over the 2 weeks I've been experimenting with an IDE called Xcode. Xcode is an Integrated Development Environment used to make iOS apps, software and more. The two primary languages used in the ide is swift and obj-c, I've created my very first calculator and I got to experiment with the View Controller here and there. What the calculator does is that it measures the amount of coffee beans you would want to have in order to make your coffee. After the simplistic creation of a calculator, I decided to create an app that is more realistic to the apps that we use today. I wanted to make something more like instagram but more simplistic, so I went ahead with the idea, and so far the work progress is going great. I plan to have an interface that is just as simplistic as instagram but an organization solution towards the pictures you post, I hope to fini...
