The Last of the Journey

This post will the last of its kind. I am not a newbie anymore. I’ve taken on an internship and have built some decent, unfinished, and pretty cool apps. I have been blogging about what I’ve been learning for the past three years but after watching Quincy Larson

Things I Am Cooking Up

I am thinking of starting another podcast. Most of the shows will be 15 > minutes as I really, really, really hate audio editing and cannot afford a dedicated editor for a weekly, seasonal show. I am also not sure if I’ll hop on the S01E01 bandwagon or not.

First Feature and Pull Request

I spent a good week working on our CodePen Liquid Tag feature. It was my first time working with a team on a feature for an app that wasn’t solely mine. I was nervous. But it was really fun. Mac, our Senior dev instructed me. He remarked that it

Making The Tedious Easy With MDL Templates

Wanting to just get the app up and running , I sat down yesterday and paged through some of the Material Design Lite Docs. For some reason I never noticed the tab that said, Templates. I about cried. I really didn’t feel like getting into too much detail with the

CRUD: My New App, Check Yo Self

I have taken a bit of a break from the coding/learning thing as I suffer from a bit of depression every now and again, outside of the usual. It’s a woman’s thing, as they say. So while I was a bit down and cantankerous I took a
