Goodbye Apple, A New Life Programming Note

I left the Apple Store.  After 4 years, I knew it was time to go and push myself forward into the next phase of my life.  I know that I could never have gotten where I am today if it wasn’t for all the experiences I had at Apple.  I’ve felt the full range of emotion working in that environment, and I will always carry it with me into anything I do.  I appreciate customer service more than I ever could have imagined.  The friendships I made will last a lifetime.  Thank you, Apple SF for all the love you gave me.

I left Apple to be a part of the summer cohort at Dev Bootcamp.  It’s a 10 week intensive into the world of programming.  5 days a week; 8 hours a day.  (Although, I’ve been spending a hell of a lot more time working than that.)  I’m already through week 1 and I can honestly say that I’ve never done anything more challenging than this program.  I’m both scared and excited for being challenged to think so much.

Programming Note:  While at Dev Bootcamp we are encourage to keep a blog, and the standard they would like us to use is Tumblr for the easy capability to follow each other. I personally don’t care for Tumblr, but I’ll survive.  My duties here at A Box of Paints won’t be halted, but will be diminished a bit.  I’m currently blogging daily here.  Czech out my ramblings about development.
