Second Week

    ----->So this is the second week of school. I am really amazed at how fast people can pick up new stuff. I used to think that it would take me like a semeter to pick up a new language and get used to it. But obviously that is not the best practise.  It is rather more efficient to watch tutorials and try out codes yourself to learn. The stackoverflow is really a good place to ask questions. People out there is always ready to answer our questions. How excited is that!


    ----->The story on the workers on the field is fantastic. Only after you see the big picture, you shall be more motivated to work hard.  With the wrong mind set, you will be always stuck on what you are doing.  Remeber, we are starting something big. Though it may be not that cool at the start, i still believe anything can go wrong will go wrong. We shall fix them sooner or later.

   ------>Now i understand how the server works, why must we use asynchronous js , how does server handle requests and route them accordingly etc. What i learn in one week >> what i learn during the holidays. 

-------->Facebook developers impressed me a lot. I have never found so much detailed explanations and examples. No wonder facebook is a huge success.  


---------> Tomorrow we got another workshop. The experience and knowledge shared by the seniors is exceedingly helpful. 

     To be continued after tomorrow's workshop--- a great learning experience.

  1. That's something all of us realize after a while; the best way to learn something is to get your hands dirty and start solving problems using the very same techniques we don't know and are trying to learn. Haha.

    It's almost like effective learning is some kind of evil prank. ;)

    Re the Facebook writeup, it was done by our capable tutors Angad and Su Yuen. Quite fantastic right? :D
