Today's class began with Todd being surprised at the influx of enrolments since the last class haha, we were instructed to get Laravel & Meteor up and running before next week which I assume is for practical tasks next week yay.
Todd is showing us a few videos describing what frameworks are in a general sense before letting us go on our own way and work on our group work, my team met this morning to discern what needed to be done in the coming weeks so we are relatively on top of it at this stage.
It is recommended that we use virtual box in order to emulate a Linux OS to install meteor, I am considering just using a spare hard drive partition to run Linux although it would be inefficient when swapping between operating systems so I will likely go with virtual box instead.
Frameworks are basically predeveloped starting points for websites which are designed to speed up development time. It is important to choose the correct framework for the job as customizing an existing framework can take quite an amount of time which inhibits the reason you chose to work with a framework in the first place. Choose the right tool for the job.

Back at it again with the infamous Todd journals :)
First weeks always start off slow so Todd is covering a general overview of the assessments we will be doing and other general information related to the course.
Similar to a previous class of Todd's we are commencing immediately with a practice project (in groups) in order to familiarize ourselves with the content we will need to produce.
Into groups we formed, I set up a shared GIT repository for our group and the others handled the document we were to email to Todd. We have also been tasked with creating a document that tracks our meeting minutes and outcomes of said meetings. I doubt our group will need such a thing but it is likely best to follow along with it regardless due to the inherent benefit of practising this type of process.
Todd talked us through the course outline week by week, giving a nice little general overview of the work ahead, looks like a lot is to be learned. Looks fun.
We are to create a website to a fictional client brief, this is to be done using one of two frameworks which we are to choose from.
