The first week at JAMK (Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences) is over.
Courses I studied:
- Git & Gitlab (studied and completed wohoo)
- Web techniques (1/7 done)
Learning method: independent studying
I need to elaborate a bit more. It came as a bit of a surprise to most of the students that after the orientation week we’ll basically just study alone, there are no lessons. There are videos that the teachers filmed some years ago but that’s it. We’ll never meet the teachers in person. Thank goodness we have a lovely teacher tutor Maarit in the classroom to help us when we get stuck. That is one of the reasons why I decided to study on site at the Dynamo campus. Furthermore, it is easier to concentrate at school than at home. So my daily routine is to go to school at 9 and leave at around 3 or 4.
Even though independent studying was a great disappointment, there is one surprising benefit: I can set my own pace.

Git & Gitlab
I dived into the deep end by starting with the gitlab course. Here are some of my most important notes:
Markdown formatting for .md-files
#H1
##H2
###H3
####H4
**bold** or _bold_

*cursive*
’’’important’’’
Git commands I learned
mkdir - create folder
git clone - clones file
pwd - ”present working directory”, checks where you currently are
git status - checks changes
cd - ”change directory”, enter another folder
cd .. - go back
ls - ”list” of content
git add file_name.md - adds a certain file
git add . - adds all (this is a life saviour!)
git commit -m ”write down changes” - commit that needs to written before pushing. It’s a must.
git push - push into Gitlab and pray for no errors
The most important thing I learned through trial and error: markdown is case sensitive! 😂

Web techniques course: HTML/CSS
After completing the Gitlab course I decided to start studying HTML and CSS with the Web techniques course. The first week’s material was easy and mostly familiar to me. But it was interesting to learn about CSS more.
New CSS styling I learned:
font <p style=”font-family:arial;”>Text</p>
font size <p style=”font-size:300%;”>Text</p>
color <p style=”color:blue;”>Text</p>
background color <body style=”background-color:blue;”></body>
border creates a box around text
padding defines the space inside the box
margin defines the space outside the box
First week at school is done! 💪
