It's Sunday evening and we had quite the long day with my companies X-mas party. I was actually thinking about taking the evening off from learning but my "Self-Control" app kicked in on my phone and let me know to get off my butt and getting to studying. So, here I am. Another course down.
Tonight's Course was Unit 10: Constants
10.1 - Intro to Constants
10.2 - Important Review and Clarification
10.3 - More About Strings and Constants
10.4 - A New Way to Visualize Memory
10.5 - Intro Character String as Array
10.6 - Using Pointers to Manipulate Character Arrays
Ok, let me at least start out by saying this Unit could have only have been 10.5 lessons long. The lesson 10.2 - Review and Clarification should not have been in this Unit. It was a 30 min lesson about things he had already explained over and over again. The only information of use, was the fact that (\n starts a new line)/ Besides that, the lesson wasn't of much use. Nor did it contain any information regarding constants.
Now, when it comes to constants. I understand that they are saved in the "read only" area of the computer's RAM. Also, it appears creating a pointer for an array of characters is extremely similar yet the set of rules/order of doing so, is quite different.
Overall, I was able to fully understand the content of the lessons. Thus, allowing me to pass the post lesson quiz with flying colors.
As an added bonus, I was a to find a additional free training course which I might begin after I successfully complete these two courses.

Plus, I'm reading as much as I can when I'm not at the computer watching educational video courses.
Books Read: "How To Count"
"Learn To Code. Get Your Dream Job. Change Your Life"
"
Books to Read: "Programming for Dummies"
"Effective Programming: More Than Writing Code"
"Learn Programming: In Visual Basics 6.0"
"Learn To Program With Java"
If you have any "Must Read" programming books, please let me know.
Thanks and on to the next
