This has been a fairly tumultuous ride over the first month, but I've learned an incredible amount. From using Sinatra, which was simply an enormous understanding challenge for me, to getting a better grasp on Ruby. It's unfortunate that my peer-programming partner will no longer be programming, but I still have the same opportunity to learn and gain access to neat, interesting information.
I also learned a lot about programming virtually, including the way I can lean on teamtreehouse wherever possible. They were invaluable in understanding javascript and jquery, but would've perhaps been redundant with other items.
The biggest challenge going forward, I think, will be tying what I did in pre-work to what I'll need to do now; it was easy when it was fresh, but it may not be so easy as time moves on. Additionally, you're obviously trying to keep a lot of languages straight; I've occasionally found myself using a jquery selector in ruby, for instance, or confusing how I would use a class selector across jquery and css, but I think that's likely pretty natural. The important thing is clearly just continuing to dedicate the time and energy to getting better.
