MA Pre Course Day 1

Monday was the official start day of the pre course for the February 2016 cohort!!!

In a nutshell, it was just a get together of the members of the cohort getting to know each other and what to expect during the next four weeks.

Highlights:

• Name game and introducing our partners after talking for 5 minutes to the rest of the group
• We all had a laugh when trying to communicate with the rest of the cohort online.
• It was a quick affair and went to the local bar to socialise with everyone.
• Everyone was really cool and friendly, even had a chat with a couple of senior guys who were imparting their wisdom.

As this was the first day, I have done the following:

• Worked on a couple of tutorials for the command line interface (CLI)
• Practised my shortcuts for Sublime Text
• Practised typing
• Uploaded some code to Github
• Read some blogs of MA students

Aims:

• Meet up with some of the guys to do some pair programming and learn off each other
• Get into a daily routine, get as much work done, exercise, meditate, sleep, regular breaks from the computer screen, etc.

Here are the anthems of the day (do not know how long I will do these music interludes):
