Two Weeks In

I've just wrapped up the second week of my coding bootcamp and the excitement hasn't worn off, yet. I'm benefiting greatly from having a live person explaining the concepts along with being able to code with them side by side and ask questions as they pop up. The first week was HTML and CSS fundamentals, which I already had a pretty good grasp on after trying out a few intro courses over the past year. Week two was about more complex CSS concepts, such as Flexbox. I thought I had a fairly good grasp on it until I tried coding some from scratch. I'm going to try reading more documentation before trying again. Other than that, I'm feeling great about the course so far. This week's challenge is to create a portfolio using the HTML and CSS we have learned so far. Creating a portfolio is something I've put off for a while since I think mine would not be advanced enough. I'm glad the course is forcing me to do so, since it will be very important in the job search. Next week, we start JavaScript which is the language that has been the toughest for me to learn. I'm hoping this new way of learning will finally make the language click for me.
