w7d5 - Trello? Is it me you're looking for?
Week 7 done and it’s just about time to get started on final projects! No more pairs, which will be strange. W’eve spent the last 7 weeks working with a partner the majority of the time, and it will be take some time to adjust to not having one. I definitely felt the pain while working on the Trello project, as there were numerous times where I did something silly that a partner would have easily caught, saving me precious minutes of figuring out where I missed a semicolon or curly brace, or where I put board.title instead of board.get(“title”).
I didn’t make nearly as much progress on Friday as I had hoped, especially after I felt like I started out pretty strong on Thursday. But, I ended up spending a lot of the day undoing things that I did on Day 1 after realizing I hadn’t gone about it in quite the right way. I ended up spending some time on Saturday redoing the entire thing, which coincidentally was great practice for Monday’s assessment. I now feel like I have a pretty good grasp on Backbone, something that I couldn’t have said a few days earlier.
The other part of the weekend was spent building a paper prototype of my final project, which I found strangely enjoyable. The only other things standing in our way are the assessment on Monday morning and the remainder of Monday which is dedicated to Node.js. Although I’m anxious to officially get underway, I am curious to learn a little more about Node
