I haven't posted in a bit. I have been hard at work learning to code.
I have worked my way through HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I was even able to make a simple mock up site with HTML and CSS. The course told me to use the bootstrap framework but I found that I could do it faster by doing the CSS my self. I showed it to my brother-in-law who said it looked good. I think he was just being nice.
I joined at local meet up group for Ruby on Rails. The next meeting is on October 22. I haven't decided if I will go yet. I tend to get a little shy as my daughter says in groups.
On a highly positive note. My father is letting me use one of my mom's old MacBooks to learn on. I've only had it a couple of days and I'm already up to speed on the Unix command line and version control with git. As soon as I get some stuff in my GitHub account I will post a link. It is amazing how much more sense the tutorials make when using a Mac. Also with it being one of my mom's it feels like she is right there pushing me to learn more.
