C# is clicking more for me now. I have the hang of calling object members in cascading fashion, and querying lists with LINQ statements. To the point where I am thinking in those terms, so whatever I am thinking, I can code. We made a system for submitting tech help tickets for our last project. You can check it out if you like. The layout is a little raw, and I'm handcuffed on updating even simple things ("Application Name" in the upper left, for example) at the moment because I'm trying to add a better-looking bootstrap template to it, and the local copy on my machine is borked until I get that straight. http://awonderly-bugtracker.azurewebsites.net

I find the general workflow of building an app to be fairly intuitive. We are using "code first" database building, which means the database tables are built by Visual Studio using the classes we define. I have run into some database issues, but it usually stems from me defining a class wrong, or adding an extra database relationship that shouldn't be there, which creates an extraneous foreign key or etc, and so forth.

Razor is pretty sweet. That's the language that lets you use C# code inside your HTML.

Overall, I am learning a ton and I feel very functional. I am pretty confident about getting employment. Even if I don't find a job that fits me right away, I am not worried that I will eventually. And the staff here at the bootcamp is heavily committed to the job placement aspect, so by that alone, I am confident.

Lastly, I have definitely learned the ways of Github. I sync to Github at least three times a day, usually more. One guy lost his whole project the other day, and he hadn't been pushing to Github because he'd been having trouble with it, so he lost like a week of work. He bounced back, but damn, that should teach you your lesson.
