Why I Chose To Learn About Software Engineering


Starting from Zero

Moving on up to Sinatra

How the topic came about

First Project in the Books

Overall

We made it. One project down (pending review and assessment of course.) As challenging as it was to not have the Learn prompts and tests to guide me through the process, I’m thankful to have been tasked with creating a CLI. I decided to share a little about my experience with creating it, and what’s different on this side of it.
