Week 1 Recap

Here's a view of the lake behind Pearland Town Center. I've been trying to offset all the chair-time with some running in the afternoons, and this is a great place to get out into the sunshine after a long day of coding.

Today, we reviewed a lot of what we did this week, discussed our progress with the group, and came up with a schedule for the weekend. One of the prior groups' students, Andy, is going to come in tomorrow for a Q&A, and help us tackle some of the more difficult subjects. On our own, most of us are watching C# & ASP.NET videos to drill on the basics. From talking with students in the other groups, this seems to be the best way to learn the material without getting behind.

Also, we had a good discussion about the job market for web software developers, potential interview questions we should be prepared for, and how to develop a positive, problem-solving mindset that is essential to being a successful developer.
