Yesterday, I turned in my latest assignment and once again got some really positive feedback. The way these instructors talk about my work is boosting my confidence that I will be able to translate what I'm learning into an actual career once I graduate. This boost in confidence also stems from the fact that this course feels like it is genuine training and not self-taught learning through YouTube videos and amateur instructors that teach with follow-along techniques. 

Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate what I learned through these instructors that I refer to as amateur. If it wasn't for their affordable pre-training I don't think I would be doing as well as I am. Thanks to these earlier classes I have an understanding of the type of tools I need, now I'm learning the hows and whys to what makes these tools tick.

Before taking this current class, I felt that I could hack my way through the app building process through a combination of cannibalizing codes from apps that I've already build through classes and stealing segments of code from similar pieces from open source material. Now I am fully confident that I will eventually get to the point where I could build anything with a minimal need to for reference material.   

I can't wait for that day to come. 

Now, it's time to move on to the next lesson as soon as I finish my midday nap.

Talk to you tomorrow,
