It's crazy to think that our first week has already come to an end. Seriously, it went by so fast! But the weird thing is at the same time I feel like I already know the instructors and the people in my cohort really well.
Today we finished up our sass project and I finished my web design for Yogate. It's super simple because all I had were the images put up on their facebook page and it doesn't look good but it was a good way to learn all of the CSS functions and how premade frameworks like bootstrap and foundation are made.

For the backend stuff, we learned how to use RSPEC and stubbing for test-driven development. It really does save you so much time when you use RSPEC because you don't have to go into irb and make random instances of classes just to check if the methods are working. Also, the git commands are slowly coming together for me hahaha. This is how far I got on one of the ruby projects we started today. (vagrant, ruby file, then rspec file)
A typical day this week kind of went like this:
-7AM : wake up, get ready, eat
-8AM : start walking to MakerSquare!
-9AM: classes on backend stuff (Ruby) and problems to work through
-NOON : lunch time, I usually bring food and eat on the couches there or while I do work
-1PM : Patrick teaches us algorithms and data structures :D
-2PM : Clay teaches us frontend stuff basically worked on sass and web design using a framework
-5PM : Class is over but people usually stick around for an hour
-7PM : Get home. Shower, eat.
-8PM : Go next door to the annex and have our nightly coding party.
-9PM : Basically we all sit in a circle in the living room burried under our laptops (Sachin brings out his monitor HAHA)
I'm either freaking out because my tests are failing or super happy that my methods worked (pretty bad mood
swings!)
-midnight : go back to my part of the house and bedtime
