Captains log. Day 13.
Friday officially marked the end to week 2 of the front-end/back-end immersive development program here at the Iron Yard in Raleigh. To say that is has been challenging would be an understatement but it has come with equal reward. So far, our curriculum has covered in-depth all things HTML & CSS, but this week marks our first dive into Javascript — and boy, what a journey it has been so far.

Hello all! Currently working on a project for school that involves designing a mock “marketplace” type web-page complete with CSS and JavaScript functionality (haven’t quite finished the JS portion yet, but we’ll get to that later).

Welcome any advice and perspectives! Thanks so much!!
Best,
