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 certain topic. Well this is what I am experiencing right now and I hope it doesn't bother me as much. I was always taught that education and the real world out there is considered a race to see who is the most prepared in being successful. I honestly don't want it to be this way, education should not feel like a competition. If it is a competition, then the opponent should be yourself!!!, not somebody else, not your damn teacher! YOU!. You're the one that has to put in the work, you're the one that has to put in the time, and you're definitely the one that has to show up!. Don't worry about other students business, don't worry about your standings!, if I want this bad enough then I have to do my best to push myself and defeat thyself in order to get where I need to be.

   So just as I was coming back from a nice trip to the coffee shop. I noticed a message on my phone, I saw that austen(the co-founder of lambda school) is scheduling 1 on 1 meetings to see where everyone is at. At first I was a bit nervous to know that we are getting meetings for this type of subject, but just recently someone from my cohort clarified the purpose of this doing, and its to have the staff better improve the curriculum for everyones enjoyable experience.

Inspirations and passion for what I love: Vidcon 2018 post thoughts

June 23rd, 2018     I know I haven't been posting a lot on my personal life and what's going, but I will now start to make a comeback on what I have started. A lot has been going on since I last posted 2 months ago. It shocks me on how much can change in just a matter of a month!, but so much has been going on in my life both personal and also Software development.    There were a couple of things happening so far personal wise such meeting the girl who is making an impact on my life, discussing the future with my parents and also mental health concerns going on in my quarter life crises. All of these things are pushing me to become the person who I am destined to be and what is to come for in the future. For now as long as I am holding on, and having faith with the people who care for me and are around me, I think I'll be ok.   My career options and also future is the reason why my fellow lambdas read this. I have been focusing a lot on my software develop...

Inspirations and learning so much more

Hello,    Coming back from another class session and this time around. I am actually done with the first month of lambda school. The experience so far has been quite of a rocky start, but as time progressed, we are all now starting to get comfortable with each other (hopefully). By now we have just started our course towards the more advanced topics like react js and redux, along with data fetching protocols. We are almost done with our http/ajax sprint which consists of making a friendslist application that incorporates a middleWare type extension to handle data fetching protocols. We are learning so much on fullstack development and this is basically what I wanted in the first place.    Javascript has also being a part of my strong points this time around since I'm working on it everyday from this point. Pretty much my knowledge and growth for computer science is expanding and as of now. The best analogy that we have been taught was that your source of knowledge fo...

Oct 9th, 2017    With so much that is going on, I notice a lot of things since the start of the program. My skills as a programmer are improving everyday, and its remarkable how much I have improved within just 3 months. The best part is, we're not even finished yet. By the time I write this post we would've reached the react native course which is close to being done with the full-stack javascript section of the school, afterwards we have our introduction to C/C++ programming which is majority of the time employers want. Reasons as to why they would want this so much is because of the fact that you have a good/basic understanding of what goes on under the hood.   So theres a couple of things that I noticed right when I first started the program, first thing was my ability now to tackle coding challenge problems, at the start being able to start a coding challenge problem was difficult for me, but after repetitive reps and constant thinking; my skills for solving these...
