Down to the last project!
Several of the students in my cohort that spend time in HipChat and Piazza helping other students, have progressed to the point that they have completed the nanodegree.
Seeing Dawoon Choi's completion certificate (as well as Kevin Mayo's, and Ben Halperin's, and... you get the idea) has inspired me to get into this last project, and finish out my nanodegree.
I have completed the first lesson in the JavaScript Design Patterns course, and I have to agree with the other students that have commented on how well done the presentation is. Ben Jaffe takes the Model View * design, and makes it easy to understand. Even the examples used for demonstration were well laid out, and easy to follow. Like other Udacity courses, I am sure the complexity will ratchet up. Unlike the Object Oriented JavaScript course, where it felt like the material was too complex to pick up as it was being presented, this course has a pace that feels easier to absorb.
There is quite a bit to do in each lesson, so I'm doing one per night this week, which should put me at the point of doing my own project over the weekend. I expect this final project will take a few weeks, just as the arcade clone did, as the students get to "make it our own" with the presentation and details that get added into the project.
I admit, I did not go back and use the build tools for project 4 - I don't know if that is going to prove to be a hindrance in the way this project turns out. I might need to back up and do that before getting too deep into the actual project.
