Fork this gist and answer these questions to reflect on your learning experiences.
- Turing has been on my radar since a good of friend of mine went through it in 2014. Turing (or something similar) has been a goal for a while. I looked at other programs, but kept coming back to Turing. I grew up very involved in my community and the local nonprofits, so I can appreciate a well thought-out and executed mission. I've had a lot of training in "soft skills" throughout my college and post-academia career and I wanted to add a technical skills edge to my knowledge.
- This is still where I stumble the most. Recently through talking with others at Turing and in the field, I've found that my interests and personality may fit best in a consultancy or agency where I get to work on a lot of different types of projects and possibly work with clients directly.
From concepts taught in class or your personal learning, what technical concepts do you enjoy exploring most?
- I enjoy learning new tools and languages. For example, I really enjoyed learning travis CI and all (probably not all) of it's capabilities. While debugging it was frustrating at times it was really rewarding. I also enjoyed learning Javascript, although I started out not knowing how to debug the code, that is my next step.
- Front end programming is frustrating but I am hoping to become more adept during this mod.
- Pulling in API data and doing something with it.
