Ready to begin

Class has now begun and while I am still a bit nervous, I am comforted but the fact that the syllabi don’t have anything on them that I am surprised by. I have only used JavaScript up until now, but JavaScript is C-like in how it looks and other than managing memory with pointers, I feel pretty confident.

My first assignment is just to SSH into the school’s testing server and type out some source code and to make sure that it compiles and that is receives input and returns output. I have already been able to SSH in and I am about to open VIM and try to finish the assignment, but so far, so good.

Then next thing which I have been working on feverishly has been my portfolio site, and I am happy to say that I have finished my final amp library project and it is functioning well. The mobile layout caused a few problems when I needed to move the user’s icon into the hidden drawer, but in the end I was able to create another class for it and then get it’s position under control. The project looks pretty good and it seems to work flawlessly.

The coming weeks will be a challenge as I ramp up and try to get into the rhythm that I will need to maintain for the next two years, but I am up for the challenge and I am positive and looking forward to it.
