Bootcamp Intro

I am already in my 4rd week of my coding bootcamp and so far we have been introduced to HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, and Ruby.

Javascript was very cool; my favorite part was using iterations to solve little logic problems. Javascript is very interesting because it has existed for so long but it has maintained its relevance by regularly transforming.
Javascript was a fun way to be introduced to site functionality such as button clicking, etc.

Next we covered React and that was pretty difficult for me (I am still actively working on React overview and exercises). It is complicated but and excellent tool. It allowed us to build fully functional interactive sites and games which is exciting for entry level devs. The fact that it's compiled causes some funky errors but that was a learning opportunity in itself because it definitely won't be the last compiled framework that I will use.
We did quite a few exercises with React and some notable ones were: a treasure hunt game, tic-tac-toe, dice roller, and Magic 8 Ball.
I am excited to keep working on React.

This week we entered Ruby Land and I LOVE IT. Ruby was already an interesting language to me and I am glad to say: it is living up to the hype.
Until next time,

Good to hear that you're having a good time at your bootcamp. It's really nice to hear about people starting their coding journeys.
