A journal of the experience in the Refacktor Track - Week 3, Mod 4 @ Turing School.

##Monday
I wasn't sure what to expect out of this project track. I felt like it was the less ambitious, but confident with my choice
As I sat down to make my goals, I started to feel a sense of relief that I could prioritize my own work for the week.
As the day went on, I knocked out some 'low-hanging fruit' and started the week off with a sense of accomplishment. I had a brief moment of freak out about the job search, and started frantically searching open postings. As I ended up the night, I really felt the weight of the last two weeks lift, as I know I made the right decision this week and am grateful for the opportunity to manage myself and my work.

What are some rules of thumb for proper commit messages?

  • a commit message shows whether a developer is a good collaborator.
  • concise and consistent
  • a maintainer has few tools more powerful than his project's log

Seven Rules

  1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
  2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
  3. Capitalize the subject line
##### Challenge 1
Approach: A container positioned relative is used to hold all boxes. Each box is displayed inline-block, positioned absolute, and placed where it belongs within the container, using the top, right, and left positionals.

##### Challenge 2
## Turing Mod 1 Goals
* Become confident with Git and GitHub
* Create smooth, responsive design
* Learn more about design - this was intimidating to me about the front end
* Spend extra time with JavaScript since that will be more challenging to me
## Area of Focus
I'd like to start incorporating fintech concepts into my projects.

In a PARAGRAPH: What are you most interested in learning? Why? What ideas do you want to bring to life or what projects do you want to build?

I'm most interested in learning Front-End. I was first intimidate by my preconceived notions, thinking it was a path for designers. But as I came to realize how much I care about how something looks and functions, it seems like the right path. Additionally, my instinct as I'm learning what languages are used, I'm going to jump in FRONT with both feet.
In an ORDERED LIST: What languages are you most interested in learning? Next to each one, write a sentence about why?

  1. HTML- It's so exciting to be learning this code and have instant visual satisfaction.
  2. CSS - I've accidentally learned to get into these files while creating my own website, and now looking to intentionally be able to design what's in my head.
  3. JavaScript - Apparently, I need this one!

In an UNORDERED LIST, provide LINKS to websites or web apps that inspire you. Next to each o
