So far I have learned a lot. The project has helped me identify some gaps in my knowledge that I have since been able to fill.

The program is going quite well. I started out (basically from scratch) a couple of months ago with the intro to programming course. Upon completing that, I decided to continue forward with the Intermediate Javascript course. The material and the first project have been VERY challenging for me but the course structure, with it's project-based model and reviewer feedback have REALLY kept me pushing forward through the challenge and confusion. The biggest benefit that I can name so far is the fact that, now when I seek out information online or elsewhere, I'm able to make much more sense of what I find. These trainings have helped to familiarize me with industry jargon and the fundamentals of programming languages . Although the end goal seem miles away, I'm moving forward.
