Week One at Launch Academy Is Done

We have made it through Week 1!

Thanks, Tweester, for the photo!

Some of the things that I learned this week:

  1. All Of The Things. Okay. Not really. Not even close.
  2. I need to use methods more. Much, much more. And get better about indenting my code.
  3. If you try to code for too long, you will hit a (metaphoric) wall. At least, I sure hope it continues to be metaphoric.
  4. If you post something on Flowdock about the white board, on average 2–3 people will walk over to the whiteboard in the next 5 minutes to verify what you said.
  5. There is a Boston Ruby Women Group. And sometimes, they serve cake at their gatherings!
  6. I can code Some Of The Things, Some Of The Time and sometimes even get them right. Phew.

This week’s random theme song (for no discernible reason):

And because next week we are learning Sinatra, here is one of the absolutely most bizarre musical numbers I know. If it’s TL:DW, be sure to watch at least from 2:15 for a very long note and a very wide pan:
