Loving the visual style of teaching at CoderAcademy_au 😀💡. I loosely grasped this mutation when it was covered in an MITx MOOC I did but it didn’t really click until I volunteered to hold up a box representing a variable linked to both a value and an address in memory. #MOOC

Check out my Medium post to see why I wanted to get into programming and what I plan to do to get the most out of the life experiences I gain from it :) link.medium.com/RlxbpaQaxU

Interesting learning about Ruby Hashes in class today - seems similar to the Dictionary data type in Python? I wonder are there basic building blocks which are common to all programming languages (e.g. all have roughly similar core data types)? CoderAcademy_au #programming

Loved the walkthrough luketurnerdev gave of his AR project in today’s lighting talk. I’d never considered music as angle for virtual reality. What an immersive experience it would be to create a melody by walking through and interacting with a virtual world.CoderAcademy_au #VR

Just presented our first app with my pair programmer Bekky Smith CoderAcademy_au. Great to get the creative juices flowing! Key lesson learnt was how to keep the the scope manageable and in focus. Good planning and communication with Bekky Smith made this a fun challenge. #teamwork

Interesting hearing about Roslyn Zolandor s journey from web development to UX. As someone from a business background (and will always be passionate about business) it’s encouraging to hear that cross functional experience is valued in tech teams. #Vodafone #techsyd CoderAcademy_au

Buzzed by the Arduino smart parking device nandini r nayak presented CoderAcademy_au today. It’ll be interesting to see how IOT disrupts how we park vehicles in the future. I know I’m looking forward to the day Google shows me available free parking. #IOT #Google #arduino

Learning fundamentals of accessibility CoderAcademy_au. With a close family member who is disabled, this is close to home. As developers we have a responsibility to ensure all members of society can effectively navigate an increasingly digitised world. #webdevelopment

Checkout the website I built to display my coding projects: wlei6277.github.io Let’s see how this puppy grows as I get better at web development 😀. Cheers to the CoderAcademy_au for getting me this far already and GitHub for hosting the site. #techsyd

Loving how dynamic the classes are CoderAcademy_au. Allowing the class room to vote on the approach we take to learning topics (e.g. challenge / review / lecture) is way more engaging then a set agenda. One-by-one we’re busting down the doors of complexity around web dev.

After struggling to find a free disabled parking spot to take my nan out for lunch North Bondi Fish I decided to plot all the disabled parking spaces in Waverley Council . Check it out at accessible-parking.herokuapp.com hope to grow this and make it more dynamic! #accessibility #techsyd

Cool getting some insight into the different roles in #CyberSecurity at CoderAcademy_au expert panel yesterday. I haven’t had much exposure to this growth industry but what interests me is an apparent need for skills and experience across multiple domains.

Throughly NodeSyd tonight! especially the ‘reverse’ presentation where the speaker enagaged the audience for feedback on an Express application . As a Node newbie it was super interesting to hear the different opinions and insights being contributed by the community.
