"You are mad, oh, I apologise, wow, just how? are you ok?"

Post by Betty Boop »

I have very sensitive eyes and as soon as my eyes deteriorate/improve I can't bear having my glasses on at all. This is what led me back to my opticians last week when I discovered that although only tested a year ago, my prescription has changed. The young man sat across from me, who had painstakingly explained to me the week before about my varifocals and why they weren't working, sat agog and said exactly the words in the title of this thread when I told him and the lady measuring me up for new glasses that I had taken part in a 16 week bootcamp and built a website from scratch.

His look of shock is what took me by surprise, I laughed, he seriously thought I was joking. I did go on to explain that there are massive holes in my learning, we went through everything so fast I'm not sure I've retained too much and I do intend to go back over things a bit more slowly, making sure I understand what is happening along the way.

This is what I built, it's not perfect, its not finished it is the bare minimum needed to pass the course. All the content was AI generated for speed. I just need to find the energy to go back and make it better.

It's better than any of mine. It has colours and pictures and all sorts. And a login link.

Nobody knows how much work it takes unless they make one.

I passed, I have the certificates to prove it now. I managed the bare minimum to pass the course, and the challenge now is to go and learn more when my head allows.
We did all our coding on Gitpod which is no longer available to us, so am currently checking out VisualStudio.

My new glasses are perfect, I am convinced it wasn't just a prescription change that helped, I think my old glasses were just very wrong and not measured up and fitted to me correctly at all, they felt like someone else's glasses from day one.

That looks like you could self-host free.

Visual Studio is an editor the size of a very big thing.

The certificates are a major asset, well done.

Thank you.

Oh yes Visual Studio is massive, but I should have made it clear there is a use it in the browser option much like the gitpod we used. Others on the course have advised me to use VisualStudio.
