Made it through a week of Lambda School, and I learned a ton. It really was fun, even though I couldn’t complete the last two weeks due to Daylight Savings Time in California versus my work schedule on Hawaii Standard Time. It really was an excellent way to get a taste of Lambda School’s boot camp, which seems pretty intense. I think I would have to practice a lot more coding on my own before attempting a boot camp. And actually I am less likely to attempt a boot camp now, mainly because of the expense and debt. I’m definitely no longer going to beat myself up about not completing these different free courses. Admittedly a part of me in the back of my mind is saying, “find a way to make money, try to design a super app!” I’ve decided to calm down, that this is a hobby for now; like nibbling here and there at a buffet just as I please. Lambda’s free mini boot camp is a really awesome resource if you’re trying to decide whether or not to try a bootcamp. The homework assignments are very lovingly crafted, complete with automated testing, and you can learn how to upload via GitHub. They have a Slack channel for asking questions and posting notices. You can try out their YouTube videos below. (Links open in new window)
