The Odin Project’s curriculum is a bit unusual. Yesterday, I completed the calculator project, and today, we’re delving into the command line. Not that learning about the command line isn’t important—it is.
The command line is a text-based interface that allows users to interact with their computer’s operating system by typing commands. It provides direct control over system tasks like file management, software installation, and script execution, often using simple text instructions rather than graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Popular command-line interfaces include the Windows Command Prompt, Linux Terminal, and macOS Terminal.
See, it’s essential. We are primarily looking at the Linux and macOS command lines. This confused me a little since I was coding JavaScript yesterday, and today, I’m learning more about the command line. It’s an interesting switch in focus. Tomorrow, we are setting up GitHub. I already did this, but a refresher course wouldn’t hurt.
I’ve just started a new book. Yes, I know I haven’t finished the others I’ve begun. This is a historical fiction novel, and it’s intriguing so far. I’ve made it 26% through the book. I’m particularly drawn to historical fiction because it combines actual events with imagination, providing a glimpse into the past while incorporating the richness of storytelling. The book is titled “Hill of Secrets” by Galina Vromen, and it is set during World War II, focusing on Los Alamos and the Manhattan Project. The narrative unfolds through multiple characters’ perspectives as they grapple with the challenges of living amidst wartime secrets. I intend to complete this book soon and return to “Race Across Alaska.”
It’s later in the day, and I’m in the living room with Tommy. He’s immersed in a new game, Hogwarts Legacy, and I must admit, it’s pretty captivating. Meanwhile, I’m charging my Kindle to continue reading “Hill of Secrets.” My Kindle doesn’t hold its charge very well, but it functions perfectly, and I like it.
I’ve been researching whether my hearing aids can connect to my laptop, similar to how they connect to my phone. It doesn’t seem feasible at the moment, but it would be great if that could be a possibility in the future. I’m going to get going. I’m sure I need to help with dinner soon.
