As you all know, I used to be in the military and flew Apache Helicopters. Although this video is 14 years old, it reminds me that you still need to make the job fun and keep things interesting. Watch on YouTube: Apache Friday (Warning: You may get a song stuck in your head) For me, it is to catch up on some projects. I checked last night, and this number changes all the time, but I was excited to see the Army Flight Logbook ranked #45 on the App Store. But it changes so much in the app store since it's based on downloads/income it generates. What are you going to do this weekend?

Had another great one-on-one session with @Alec Matthew Dijamco He's going through FreeCodeCamp modules, learning some HTML, and had a few problems with getting something to work properly. Sometimes getting stuck is natural. You just need that little push to make sure that everything is working properly. When I was teaching this in the classroom, whenever we had self-study and we were to give them a problem, we would always say, "Try it out, and if you get stuck, let us know." We want you to try for about 15 minutes to figure it out for yourself. Later on, when you are at a further point in your learning cycle, that time range extends. Maybe that's 30 minutes of you trying to find out the answer, and then ask a buddy, and then ask the teacher. The same process definitely holds true in here. I want you all to feel free to ask your questions, and let's see if we can come up with a solution. Because sometimes the struggle is real and you get frustrated, and really, it might be something as simple as a missing semicolon or your indentation is incorrect. It's something that's really silly that can really throw your day. And just as a reminder, we have office hours that happen every Thursday, and also, there's one-on-one coaching that is also available. That really is helpful for those who are truly learning to learn at a faster pace. So the next time you get stuck, here are some tips on what I have seen has helped others. 1. Try to figure it out yourself for a max of 15 mins 2. Make a post in the community (I or others can take a look at the code) 3. Take a Break and come back 4. Come to Office Hours, it's on the Calendar 5. Schedule 1:1 Coaching Sessions

When I was teaching in the classroom, we would go around the room and have you do the following. 1. State Your Name (Skool does this one for us - lol) 2. What had you been interested in learning to code? 3. What is your favorite potato? Me: What sparked my interest was my enjoyment of problem-solving and making life easier for myself. I wanted to learn how to create apps that could help my kids learn math and spelling, so I developed apps for that purpose. As far as a favorite potato. I would say Chick-fil-A fries. 🔥 As always, help this community grow. Skool gives you a special invite code.

So I was wondering if I could get comments down below, if you are doing the following. 1. Currently active in FreeCodeCamp modules 2. What module are you currently in the FreeCodeCamp ecosystem? I'm just trying to get an idea, so we could potentially get an accountability group together, and if you're stuck on something, maybe we need a category just for freecodecamp questions. Also, just so everyone is aware, we have in the classroom freecodecamp guided walkthroughs of a lot of their material for HTML/CSS and a few for ReactJS and JavaScript. It auto-unlocks at level 2 in our community, so make a comment and get 5 likes, or make 5 comments and get 5 likes...lol. What are your thoughts?
