I’m having a hell of a time figuring out this guy’s code. Let me show you some examples: “computer” == deviceName ? pageVerticalPosition = “internet explorer” == browserName ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : pageYOffset : (pageVerticalPosition = pageVerticalPositionOnTouch + (touchStartX – touchCurrentX), This is essentially a ternary nested within a ternary. The first condition checks for the […]

I seriously can’t believe we’re already in the midst of week 11. Time is seriously flying by. That said, I can’t believe how behind I actually feel. There’s really no reference to whether or not this feeling is particularly justified, but given that we have algorithms and data structure lectures starting next week, which includes […]

So after much deliberation, I’ve decided to really dive into Robby’s code and parse it to understand how he did everything. I’m having incredible difficulty trying to figure out how to implement my idea from scratch with the limited timeline I have. I figure the best use of my time is to parse his code […]

### Day 1 At first, I thought jInvertScroll would work. It does work as intended, meaning it does scroll horizontally when you move the track pad vertically. However, I wasn’t able to figure out how to transition back to vertical again within a reasonable amount of time. After some digging around and a google search […]

I’m finally starting my JavaScript project! After a fairly packed week of getting up to speed with the previous hackers-in-residence, I finally got some breathing room last night to work on hashing out the start of my JavaScript project. The last couple days have been working on getting familiar with the interview prompts. I got […]

I had conducted my first interview. For me the experience was good, I learned a lot about how to conduct myself in an interview, and what kind of things to look out for. One of the most important lessons I learned however, had nothing to do with how to actually conduct the interview, rather it […]

I’m going to keep this short and sweet since I really should be heading to bed. Yesterday, I shadowed a couple interviews and really got to see some non-technical interview interaction, since my non-technical interview shadowing on Monday was a no-show. It was a really great experience, and I hope to be able to do […]

Ayy, super late post, I don’t really know where I’m going to find the time to continue blogging, but I’ll try my best. Please forgive me if I  miss a couple days. My workload increased ten-fold since becoming a Hacker-in-Residence. And that’s not counting my ambitions for what I want to accomplish while I’m here. […]

DAM this is late. I sincerely apologize but it’s been straight HECTIC. So on Friday, I received word of my acceptance to the Hacker-in-Residence program! It’s pretty much a Software Engineering Intern position where I get to work on in-house projects, as well as interview prospective students in both the technical and non-technical sense. We […]

BONUS POST! It’s Friday night, so I’ll be writing about today tomorrow, but I wanted to put together a review of my time at App Academy real quick since they’ve made it an incentive for a hoodie =P App Academy has been a wild ride, and I only just finished Week 9. I know the […]
