The Recycled Film

Charlie Thomason is starting Bleachwave.com, an online store that will sell his original art work as limited edition prints, books & ebooks, and more. He will be giving a presentation at Code Academy Demo Day this Wednesday, March 28 at the new 1871 in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart.

Having completed 5 weeks of Ruby and Ruby on Rails instruction, I’m now at the point where I feel confident in my ability to ask logical, educated questions in class. If by the end of Week 3 I was barely learning to crawl, then I now feel ready to stand and walk.

Code Academy Week 3 has come to an end and, so far, I’m extremely satisfied. There are, however, a few aspects of the class that I didn’t expect. Here are 3 things about Code Academy that caught me off guard.

Well, I made it through my first week (first 2 classes) of Code Academy. So far, it’s been inspiring, exciting, and motivational, and I’ve already met some pretty cool people.

Code Academy is a 12-week, beginner-focused Web Development course in downtown Chicago where students learn Ruby on Rails and HTML5, as well as entrepreneurial skills to help turn a cool idea into an actual business.
