Moving Forward
I recently got invited to attend and finished App Academy's Jumpstart program: a free two-week in-class prep course of sorts. The really awesome thing about it was that if you passed one of two assessments, you would be forwarded to the last behavioral interview for App Academy. Pretty incredible seeing as the technical interviews can be difficult, not to mention hella intimidating. Yes, hella.
Anyways. I finished the program and regretfully I was did not get a qualifying score despite being very, very close. That being said, I came out of it learning a lot. So much in fact, I'm coding mostly in Ruby now, more so I kinda love it (although Javascript will always be my first love). That being said, most of the practice problems I do on here will be in Ruby now. I'll probably write a longer post on my experience with JumpStart and maybe things I'd recommend or do differently for anyone considering doing it too.
Until then, friends.
