Building the Life I Want - A Starting Point

Hello there! I'm glad you're here.

This blog is going to be a record of my learning process. At least once a week (sometimes more), I intend to share what I'm learning, what I'm struggling with, and make this a place to store learning and progress. Feel free to follow along and share your thoughts with me!

So, here's where I'm starting from - working through two different courses:

1. MongoDB for JavaScript Developers - I've been wanting to focus on a database language for quite some time now, and after completing a course that utilized MongoDB, I decided to take the plunge and do a deep dive into it. Luckily, I was just in time to start the current round! I'm currently in between weeks 3 & 4, and have already learned so much. So far, we've covered getting the mongod server started on our computers, interacting with it through the mongo shell commands, and are just getting started with working with the database in node itself.
   
2. Git a Web Developer Job - I stumbled onto this course from a blog post, and it sounded awesome and was on sale for $10 (normally $200), so I jumped on it! It's been every bit worth it so far. We're walking through building a site, including build tools and the thought process behind everything, which has been incredibly insightful and fun. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it currently.

Since the Mongo course is time based week by week, and the other is self paced, I'm working on the Mongo course the majority of the week, and the Git course one or two days. I'm also working on polishing up my portfolio site on the weekends, so I should have that to share soon! 

I hope I'm able to share my journey in a thoughtful and fun way, to show my personality and possibly word my thoughts and learning well enough to help someone else.  Thanks for following along, if you do. And no worries if you don't!
