The busiest week yet… This was quite the week. I started with the list of my priority tasks, including their ranking of importance. This was one of the smoothest sailing weeks I’ve had, despite having so much to do. I started with building out the last pieces of functionality in my app, as well as ...
Weekly Wrap up Another week gone by and I’m one week closer to the final delivery of my project. At the start of this week, I was ready to declare defeat and prepare myself to retake the course in the winter. My application wasn’t working properly and I couldn’t seem to get the right parts ...
