Day 3

Today we went over arrays in JavaScript. We modified our projects from day 2 to utilize arrays to hold the values of text input fields. Still very satisfying when we got them to work, but so frustrating to change code that's already working to use a feature you aren't well practiced in. Any bit of code I can get to work is still precious to me. Feels reckless to fiddle with it after I get it working.

We also got an introduction to the Bootstrap css format. Very enlightening to learn such a practical tool and realize how widely implemented it is. I feel like I'm progressing as a web developer, but even more so I feel like I'm learning how much less difficult development is than I assumed it was. One of those "a day to learn, a lifetime to master" sort of deals I guess.

Also our instructor mentioned an interesting thing about JavaScript. Seems iteration using variable++ is frowned upon as it can be a security liability. Who would thunk?
