GitHub approved my complimentary professional account! I of course, am not a professional programmer (yet), but it brings me joy just the same.

Happy Coding!

SQL Documentation (From the Khan Academy)

SQL development

If you're new to SQL, you can learn more from this course: SQL.

Creating tables

• CREATE TABLE customers (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, age INTEGER, weight REAL);

  Many data types
• CREATE TABLE customers (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, age INTEGER);

  Using primary keys

See also: specifying defaults, using foreign keys. For more details, see the following: SQLite reference for CREATE.

Intro to SQL: Querying and managing data

I'm so happy to be learning computer programming. The process is invigorating! I started the Khan Academy courses over Spring Break and managed to complete Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation in about 81 hours. I began the evening by finishing course 2 in the series (Intro to HTML/CSS: Making webpages), and finished it a few hours ago. Oh, and a pleasant bit of good news; GitHub approved my free Pro account! Thanks GitHub!!!

Developing Front End Development

I’ve invested hundreds of hours into online course programs, and have thus curated a specific subset that aligns well with my current goals. One or more of the URLs inevitably link to a site that wants money every month, however, this can be subverted via “free trial” offers.

In this lesson, we covered some important concepts about functions:

• A function is a reusable block of code that groups together a sequence of statements to perform a specific task.
• A function declaration :
  

After a Full Day of Coding

Nine hours later, I am happy to have produced a couple of products. One is a very basic mock form for ordering food delivery online. The other is a shopping list that allows one to add and remove items.

More importantly than what I have produced today is what I have learned. 

I think I'll brew some more coffee and settle in for another few hours.
