How to Ruin a Running Code!

So I started the UDACITY Nanodegree and with much enthusiasm!

In the first week I had almost completed the first project Pitch Perfect and it was running on my phone. Sooooo proud of myself, I decided to take a 1 week break as my friend were visiting over.
After all I had only 2 bugs and minor corrections in code than I was all set.

Thats how yesterday started :


And after only an hour or even shorter, I was here! 



So what should I have done? Apply the Notes and then Commit my work, make sure I have a working copy then go for the EXTRA bit, right? 

WRONG! 

The overconfident me went on and added the new Pause and Resume buttons, changed everything and guess what? My App does not work anymore! And I have spent 90 minutes trying to fix it without any luck! 

So I realized that this is a very good opportunity to start writing my own code and not continue on the one that the course was dictating me. Sooooo bye bye Pitch Perfect Project, Hello PitchPerfectfromScratch

What's better than a Dummy Start? Nothing!

At last, i opened the Dummies book I bought before the summer vacation.

(do not tell anyone that the first Dummies I have bought on this subject is dated 4 years or something!) 



Spoiler : I did ditch the bOOk the next week after I went to a Meetup and heard referrals of UDACITY! 

Hello World!

Yeah! For some reason for some years this is the most creative starting point ever!

Anyway, although i did not need to pay right away, what better way to invest some money and then work to get it back :-)




So I guess we can say September the 7th is my Geburtstag as Developer!
