Vin bought me a shiny new HP laptop, so for the past two days I’ve been setting it up. I wanted to use something besides AWS Cloud9 and settled on Visual Studio Code. It comes with a terminal and text editor and you can push/pull code to and from Github. It’s also quite beautiful to look at. This is a windows laptop, so I’ve had to work around that a bit but it’s alright, I learn that way. Also, having a backlit keyboard at this point in my studies is a MUST. Anyway, I’ve had a few ideas for videos that I would like to try out. I thought it would be useful for me to explain things like Git/Github, PEDAC, Cloud9, and any other thing I’ve learned so far at Launch School. Hopefully it’s beneficial to someone else, because god knows that trying to figure it all out on your own is freaking nails. I’ve never made a video for the public in my life so surely that’ll be a fun experience. I don’t even know how to go about editing, so lots of research is ahead of me. Also, it’s probably not a good idea to spend too much time on this, so I’m thinking just doing a quick 5 minute intro, and then figure out the Git one after that, maybe 10 minutes. I want it so that you can see the editor and all the work that I do during it, so that the viewer isn’t looking at me just rambling about it. I’ll have to figure that out. Anyways…This week I hope to study 35 hours. My eventual goal is 40 hours. Goodnight, be back tomorrow.
