This chapter is huge man.

I have to be honest one of the biggest lesson I learned in this one is hot to reset with git.

My school work and work work has been a bit hectic lately so when I was doing this chapter I start to find myself losing focus. However! That is why we are blogging right? To keep me on track? To make sure I am not blindly copying what Mr Percival is saying and actually read and understand them?

A third through the chapter when I realized I have no idea what I was doing I would just reset to where we were with git and start over again.

This chapter we worked with models, post, and templates.

As we are creating tests with the tables for our todo list web app, I think it’s really cool that Mr Percival will point out that “Hey! We are doing these test repeatedly, lets make a function for it!” That felt really python and I enjoyed that.

Also, Mr Percival also have us writing future todo lists down for our project and testing. Throughout this process I felt pretty cool, like a real computer science person, designing and planning my app.

I’m not sure I understood the “this part smelled funny” or “this test was too long” part, I suppose that will come with practice.

I have to be honest this chapter was a bit hard to grind through, but I made it till the end.

Looking forward to the next one!
