Code Your Way Up

I recently finished a project that has taken me a few years to complete. It wasn’t easy, there was a significant amount of grinding involved as well as reading and editing and reading and editing and reading and editing. But after long last, the project is complete as I finished my first book – Code Your Way Up. Interestingly enough, most of the ideas and concepts for Code Your Way Up originated from this blog as I spit out ideas – some good, some bad, some with horrible grammar – but still enough to work them all out.

Salt and Sand

It doesn’t matter how big your truck. It doesn’t matter what kind of drive train you have. It doesn’t matter how many bells and whistles you have. It doesn’t matter who you call with their fancy tow truck with the promise to get you out. It doesn’t matter what association you belong to. It doesn’t matter how much prep you’ve done to get the job done. Sometimes it simply comes down to using the simplest of tools to get the job done. Salt and Sand.
