I wanted to write a quick review of my experience with the Tech Academy so far. I am very happy with the approach that they've taken, which is one of laying in very basic concepts which are gone over and over and added to at a very appropriate speed. I found the explanations of concepts I previously struggled with to be very simple and they actually got me to the point of understanding. An example would be the binary and hexadecimal number systems. Wow, when I write those words, even just the words sound daunting, but after the explanations, you really get it and the importance of these ideas becomes clear when you get to the point of actually writing code. Writing code, even if the code you write actually works, is sort of a dead end if you can't understand why or how the code is working. You need to understand it all conceptually so that you can "think with the data" and not be a robot. And this last paragraph I've written here pretty much sums it up. I am starting to be able to think with the information I'm learning and utilize it in a creative way, and I'm certain that as I move along with my studies this ability will grow more and more. I'm very excited to continue in something that I now have confidence in learning about, which is going to be a a great enhancement to my ability to survive in this world, AKA getting a job and career in the tech industry. Many thanks! |
