Day 6. Pre-course. CL Mystery. Step 6

Ok, so im in Yorkshire, seeing a close friend, and I chose to try and ignore the panic gnawing at the back of my mind and enjoy the afternoon canoeing. I told Andy once home, I needed a few hours to do some study before heading out for dinner.

Day 26. Pre-course. Code Wars 100 challenge and GIT!

Ok, so I didn’t quite make it to a 100 score last night — even some of the basic tests still require me to do more research, esp. the more unusual (for me) ones involving blocks and case tests. So, I am determined to reach 100 by the end…

Day 3. Pre-course. GIT, GITHUB and version control

Day 2. Makers Academy. Main Course. Feature Testing & Unit Testing.

I feel exhausted! I feel as though I have been away for almost a week and it is only day 2! It has been a long time since I have been challenged to this extent academically for a while now. Yes, PRINCE 2 and APMP…

Day 5 + weekend. Makers Academy. Doubles, Stubs, Mocking and airport challenge.

After this weekend, the overriding thought I have above all else is how much I hate boris bikes and how much I hate Air Traffic Control (though I knew this anyway from my previous career!)…

Day 8. Pre-course. Ruby-kickstart (1:6)

Ok, I admit it, today has been the hardest so far during the short time I have been doing this course. I rattled through Session 1, Questions 1–5 and then hit a brick wall on question 6. The question was:

Day 4. Pre-course. CLMystery (weekend of trains)

Ok, so day 4 and this bank holiday weekend has unfortunately been planned months ago to take in a tour of London and Yorkshire, to visit close RAF mates before I leave the service next week. In all, I will have taken 8 separate train journeys…

Day 9. Pre-course. Ruby-kickstart Session 1:7

Ok, I have definitely underestimated the amount of work this course entails (if you are indeed a beginner, learning to code from Scratch) — maximum effort is now needed to hit the code wars and practice, practice, practice. :-)

Day 8. Makers Academy. Bank Holiday Monday!

Although Makers Academy was officially ‘stood down’ for the bank holiday, this didn’t stop the work and with predictable accuracy and timeliness, an email come through on Sunday night, detailing our pair partners for the following day.

Day 7. Pre-course. Ruby-kickstart

This was my last day of travelling on the train, so I knew I had 5 hrs travelling in order to get some work done. Unfortunately once again, the train wifi was rubbish and the 3G / 4G tethering was non existent. I had completed the challenge from week 1, so with one day…
