Finished Codecademy Ruby course

When did I start? Looking back over this blog... Sometime between Feb 9 and Feb 27. That means it took me three months of stolen moments to complete the "nine-hour" course. :(

Progress bars:

Newly Started:

• Hello Web App by Tracy Osborn. Got a Kindle edition.
• Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial, Third Edition: Paper edition finally came out. Might do this as reading, and do my typing via FreeCodeCamp...
• FreeCodeCamp.com - trying this. Feels attractive. Welcoming to us over-30 nonprofity types. Staffer (founder?) guy "QuincyLarson" was nice to me in site chat. I've finished all their introductory "about us" lessons ("Waypoints" 1-8) and am now obediently doing the first real assignment, Waypoint #9 (which turns out to be yet another Codecademy course-- sigh.)
• Also got a copy of The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution by Walter Isaacson. My liberal arts brain thinks this should count for something.

Recently Finished:

• Ruby Wizardry: An Introduction to Programming for Kids by Eric Weinstein. 
• Codecademy.com Intro to Ruby nine-hour course. 

Non progressing (or nonlinearly progressing):

• LinuxFoundationX: LFS101x.2 Introduction to Linux. 
• Version Control with Git, 2nd Edition by Jon Loeliger & Matthew McCullough: p 130 of 416. (31%) 
• Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby: An Agile Primer, by Sandi Metz. Read through chapter 6 of 9. 
• Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial: completed tasks through chapter 2 of 12. 

Totally shelved-- the intro chapters gave me enough of a sense, for now:

• Nand to Tetris Coursera course (completed most of Week One) and Elements of Computing Systems textbook by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken (read through chapter four).
• Unity 4.x Game Development by Example Beginner's Guide, by Ryan Henson Creighton.: 69% complete. (No progress since Dec 13-- switched focus.)
