Today I was suppose to go to an introductory course from coding dojo which I did. I found a great deal online BUT the only mistake I made was I was 2 hours late!

Nothing on the email said what time and for some reason I had planned on my calendar ahead of time to be scheduled at 12 pm but the whole thing started from 10 am and goes to 6. I sat there trying to catch up a bit. They helped me and were nice.

I was still behind. I was somewhat familiar with the basics but didn't even have a line of code. They basically have us students learn on their website and occasionally intervene to give a lecture.

Their wifi was crap where I was sitting and the their user interface for their website was difficult to work with. I had to leave early and get out of there. I do respect them I just didn't wanted to waste my time :(. I said bye and with all due respect.

NEXT JOURNEY

Just signed up for freecodecamp.com. I heard so much good things and saw a youtube video interview of the owner of this site - cool guy.

His tips are:

1. Code single everyday
2. Join meetups - Know people who code
3. Don't get hung up on tools
4. Focus on how to build it instead of what to build (What to build is a biz decision)
5. Commit to Open Source
