I really appreciated the break we had during week 12, it was a nice pause from the rigor of academia. During Week 11, I worked with the class to build the Sacramento Writer’s Group website. It was a good practice to reinforce what I have learned about media queries.
During Spring Break, I studied Java, as it has been something on my to-do list for quite some time. For my learning material, I used Sams Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours (ISBN 0672337940 ). I wish I could have learned it in 24 hrs, but realistically, I got to maybe chapter 15 (aka ‘hour 15’) of chapter 24. But I do feel I learned a lot, especially with my overall understanding of programming in general. I feel it will help me with my web-related work or design, and if it doesn’t, it was a nice way to satisfy my need for a challenge.
During Week 13, we finally (finally!☺) got around to learning how to use Git and GitHub. I think it’s amazing that GitHub will save your work in case you make a mistake, so that you are able to go back to it, and restore lost work.
