The first week of Nashville Software School’s bootcamp was a whirlwind of setting up our workstations (vim and I have yet to establish a copasetic working relationship) and building simple projects that illustrated the basics of using JavaScript, tmux, vim, GitHub (look at all these repos!), NPM, and working in the command line.

I actually did learn quite a bit, finally wrapped my head around recursive functions thanks to @mlfryman, but with the exception of the command line tools most everything was a review of information I already knew.

Honestly I was starting to wonder what exactly I had picked up and moved all the way from Kansas for, and then we got the completed class syllabus.

I didn’t know I was capable of being this excited about a syllabus; it’s exactly what I wanted to learn, and in several cases it’s what I didn’t know I wanted to learn.

The concept of “boot camp” if finally setting in and I can’t wait to dive in.
