Riot.js

Day 26 of MakerSquare. Started the day with an update from the career services duo. We got some pointers on how to get our online selves together.

Front-end: using presenters in riot.js to perform actions for our webpage, all illustrated with incredibly un-fierce puppies. We did a lot of reading code and practiced verbalizing what was going on with it. ...

Day 23 of MakerSquare. The day started with two short presentations from possible clients for our final project. Will from Million Mile Month and RC from Shop141. What was interesting about both of these projects is that they’re both focused on improving lives. The code for these projects wouldn’t just be about getting more users or for another social network hoping to topple Facebook [which will happen one day, but not today], but to make tangible differences in people’s day-to-day lives, differences that can have many positive consequences down the road. I’m looking forward to what comes out of these projects. ...
