Hello everyone! It has been a busy and exciting week for me for a couple of reasons.
First, my capstone project group wrote and pushed our first commits to our group repo. I managed to get the basic front end flutter structure of the app set up and then incorporated some of my teammates widgets/screens. We now have something actually tangible to show and I’m starting to feel very optimistic about the project. Although, I didn’t get as much code written as I’d like, it was an excellent review week for flutter. I also spent some time reading documentation and learning about the flask micro architecture (which I have no experience with), which I felt was very constructive. I still haven’t managed to get my local server up and running yet but one of my teammates working on the back end was nice enough to create a little guide for how they set it up. Thanks, Marodin!
Secondly: status of the new job. Great so far. I’m so glad I don’t work in manufacturing anymore. People are not only happier but smarter and more helpful in this industry. For awhile I wasn’t sure if I was making the right choice by pursuing this program and trying to change careers, but now I’m really feeling like it was probably one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Apparently I’m doing pretty well too (although that’s not really for me to decide). I’ve already made my first pull requests to some of the company repositories and I’m starting to get a good feel for the whole Ruby/Rails framework. In fact, I even got invited to go to RailsConf with the rest of the team in Portland in May, which will be my first industry event. I’m super excited.
That’s it for me this week. Have a good one.
