First 2 Weeks learning to code

Coding is kewl.

The game plan is to ~4hrs 6 days a week studying for the boot camp. Ive more or less stuck to the plan. Some days i've studied more. 4 hrs seems to be the sweet spot for hours spent studying.

The assignement I have been working on is creating a webpage study guide for HTML, CSS, Git, and JavaScript. I went a bit above and beyond for HTML and CSS by using Code Academy to learn more than the course was teaching at the moment.

I learned a valuable lesson already. It takes time to learn to code. I cant learn it all today, tommorrow or even this week. I found my self trying to learn the course before the course even started. Instead I am going to finish my assignment and relax and take it easy till the course starts the 17th.

I started going through the Code academy full stack course yesterday. So far i can make a plain web page with pictures and videos embedned. I have learned about the parent and child relationships elements have to each other. One particularly interesting part of HTML is the attributes. Its neat how a block of text can be assigned an id like a variable and perhapse be recalled later or reused with out havign to retype the code.

The road ahead...

It seems as a newly inspired developer that my life will consist of learning at least one new thing every day. For that I am greatful and egar to get to work.
