During these times of being stuck at home due to the pandemic, we can easily get into a routine of siting on the couch and watching Netflix all day. But to stay healthy we need to be active! Since all the gyms are closed, why not work out at home! The idea for this app came to me when I was siting on my bed eating some salt and vinegar chips, feeling really crappy about myself. So I thought it would be great if I can create something, so that when I do work out I can keep track of my exercises for the day.
Who doesn’t like a good Happy Hour?? For my CLI project I decided to write a program which scrapes the site Happy-Hour.com and provide the user information on happy hour specials near their location. This program was really difficult, but it taught me so much. Up until now assignments and labs were test driven. I would see what kind of errors I get and fix what it tells me too. But this project was built from the ground up! The most difficult thing was figuring out where to start. I would have an idea of where my project would end up but no idea where to begin. What helped me the most, was to start at the simplest step and take everything a step at a time. Eventually things start to come together, and a program was born!
Welcome to my blog! This being my first blog post its probably best that I introduce myself. Hi! My name is Lester from the sunny Orlando, Florida. I was born in Canada but have been living in Orlando for almost 20 years! I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Since graduation, I held a couple of job titles. After graduation I was a pharmacy technician for a year, after that a server, and more recently a Technical Support technician for Microsoft Office 365.
