Hi everyone, I wanted to do a quick update on my first week in BootCamp. I'm going to a bootcamp in Milwaukee. Before I touch on the curriculum, I'd never been to Wisconsin and this place is miserably cold. Okay, so this bootcamp revolves around C# and .Net. The first day we immediately jumped into variables, loops, and if/else statements ect. all before the end of day one. Later that week got into things like inheritance and encapsulation. On Thursday of last week we had two projects one where we had to create two console applications one that allowed us to create a team of dinosaurs and robots to make them fight and also a pay calculator. I have a CS degree and I also have JS experience but this we fairly tough for the first week especially for newbies, we had 6 people drop out. Tomorrow morning I will be turning in project #3 which is a Rock Paper Scissors application that can be controlled by either the computer or a user. Tomorrow afternoon we will get assignment #4. So far so good, it's an extremely fast pace course as you can tell but I'm happy with it. Good luck to everyone taking the leap this year.
