Submitted.

Well, I've done it. I completed the Ruby track on Codecademy.  I've completed over 500 lessons and successfully submitted my code challenge to AppAcademy.  Today I'm starting a track titled, "How to use APIs with Ruby."  From there I'll swing over to the HTML track and then back to JavaScript.  My schedule has been ridiculously crazy working two jobs.  Its been hard to put any real time into these courses but I've been determined to 'code every day' till I get this career going.  I feel like at some point I should look into the Codecademy Projects track, but I'm taking it one day at a time till I sort this new life out.  Lists, calendars, and schedules - Keep on Track!

Things to do:

• Ruby & APIs
• HTML
• JavaScript
• Projects (including some CSS!!)

Honest Methods

So, I have to be a bit honest, yesterday I showed you a snipet of code from the Coderbyte challenge I had been working on.  In truth it was because my Blackjack project on Codecademy was failing hardcore.  Unfortunately, even though it wasn't working the Codecademy website thought I had done it correctly and was giving me the green go ahead! I've boiled it down to I need to review methods in JavaScript.  I can get the whole thing to work using only variables but when I implement them as methods instead... it all falls apart.  Today, I'll continue to post until its solved!!

Coding continued!

Its been a couple of days but I haven't given up! :D  I have a six day streak on Codecademy and have passed 7 JavaScript code challenges on the Coderbyte.  I'm also the newest CSA at BestBuy and am still picking up shifts at Buca.  Overall things are going great!  Here's a snipet of my most recent coding challenge:

I'm going to start HTML tomorrow and start working on my own stuff tonight!  We'll see how it goes!!
