| These two can be very distracting to have around. |
So, I've been biking down to the main library. I like it there. Usually pretty peaceful. I can get a solid block of time of studying in every day. Only thing that I dislike is that bathroom isn't free to use! But, still cheaper than going to coffee shop. I make my own coffee and bring it with me.
Today, I finished up RubyMonk as best as I could. I got through all the lessons/exercises and finished all the problems except for 3 of the 16. I'm like 96% done. I'm just stuck on a couple and staring at them does not help me understand them better. I'm not giving up on them or Pine's Learn to Program book, just taking a little break from them and will come back to them when I get a little more experience under my belt.
I'm very itchy to do something more tangible with my coding than these CS brain teaser coding challenges I've been doing... I want to really build my first application! So, I went ahead and signed up for One Month Rails. I found a discount code and it was only $74 instead of $99. Very, very excited about this! I went through the day 1 lessons tonight and will soldier on with this tomorrow. If anyone is interested, here is a link to the discounted price.
I can't believe I've been coding for 3 weeks. I'm looking forward to see what my progress brings in the rest of this month.
