2 articles ago I started a little study by following thoughtbot’s trail maps. After Heroku and Git, I’ve picked HTML & CSS, and today I will write about the things I’ve learned from it.

In my last article I said that I have started a little study by following thoughtbot’s trail maps. After Heroku, I’ve picked Git, and today I will write about the things I’ve learned from it.

I don’t have a CS degree, and most of what I know I’ve learned along the way because I found it interesting or because I needed to solve a problem.

This my first day back to my day-job at Assembla. My plan is to find an hour every day to work on my project.

This is the last day of this sprint. I’m far from an MVP, but I have scratched the surface of what’s possible and this gives me some more visibility for the next steps.
