Day 55 Self-Study to Web Dev!
=> Build original apps with me on youtube!
=> All code since day one can be found here on github!
Completed a “Get to know you” interview with Codesmith today. The interview was an excellent learning experience and I will be having a technical interview with Codesmith in a few weeks!
Spent the morning completing second half of the function challenges in Douglas Crockford’s “JS: The Good Parts.” Once the solution was typed out and correct, I would take the code and go through it one step at a time on paper to make sure I understand every piece written.

This is definitely one of the most exciting projects I have been able to work on in a group setting so far! (Also getting some pair programming in was a great experience.) If anyone ever has an opportunity to attend online workshops I would highly recommend it for the learning experience and the teamwork mentality. Below is the app we built =>
