A Warm Rain Is Welcome

I feel fantastic (as I usually do).

I would thoroughly enjoy a Scratch 2 project to kill time w/ tonight, but the best I can do is think of the concept of the game I am going to build. In fact, fuck that. All of it will be built tomorrow. Concept brainstorming and all. I am too relaxed this eve to bother w/ it. Besides, I have been at it for three days w/ CS50x and I want at least 24 hrs off from the Week 0 coursework. #deserved.

I think the languages we are covering in the course are: C, Java, Ruby, and something else. I don't even remember at this point. It is all in the syllabi but I am not going to look that up right now. One step at a time and if I am diligent, I will learn all of it.

I was super-inspired by the Medium article about the dude who took that exact course (CS50x) and decided to quit his job doing...whatever, and did a bunch of smallish projects during/after CS50x, did #100DaysOfCode, contributed to open-source stuff, used his real name on GitHub, did a bunch of other cool shit and then went into job openings with what he had built-up as far as digital assets. I am basically doing the same thing, (or wish to), but if/when STLCC comes into the mix, the CS course gets wrapped up w/ what I have left of it, then the #coding, #programming, yada yada stays on as a side-project and I focus all my time/energy/resources towards traditional community college.I can/will do both, but an AA or AAS, whichever one I go into are much higher on the list of priorities than any other side-project. Hence why they are side projects! Haha!

I like the shit I am learning along the way though. CS is a fucking amazing subject and I think that everyone should at least learn the basics if they have the opportunity to. Even #RPi machines have an offline version of Scratch 2 (soon Scratch 3!) built into Raspbian #OS. And that is a $35 PC! I say: Go for it!

Anyway, tomorrow is gonna be great.
