		+	#I feel as though this quote summarizes my experience with this week's assignment. I know the general ideas behind code and how it works. However, I still have much to learn about the technical aspects; such as syntax or what certain commands can do. This led to much research online and conversation with peers to create an understanding of curl commands in the command line.
		+	#I definitely need to become more comfortable with all types of curl commands and their sub commands. If I familiarize myself with a list of frequently used commands and their functions, I have no doubt it would take my manipulation of raw data through the command line to the next level.

		+	#"Every character truly, truly matters. Every single stupid misplaced semicolon, space where you meant tab, bracket instead of a parenthesis—mistakes can leave the computer in a state of panic." This quote nearly jumped out of the screen at me. had a lot of trouble getting the code to do what I wanted it to do. Sometimes, it was only a matter of adding quotation marks or correcting a typo. It made me realize that computers are only as smart as the people who work with them.

	'''What do you think you need in order to grow more comfortable, confident, and effective with the command line and manipulating data at a “raw” level?''' I need more "how to" guidance in coding and maybe sites that teach the alphabet of coding before actual coding. For example, I absolutely have no idea how to answer the second question on the week 3 assignment and spend a significant amount of time on it by myself. I feel that coding requires TIME and basic skills before jumping into command lines and reading/manipulating data at the raw level.

		+	'''Pull out a quote from the first two sections of “What is Code?” that you think directly relates to what you experienced in the individual portion of this assignment. Explain why this quote is particularly resonant for you.''' The first quotation that struck me was "You can make computers do wonderful things, but you need to understand their limits." Computers have incredible capabilities but I also found this an important reminder that we have tor recognize their flaws to increase their limits. Secondly, I've learned the hard way in a short time that "Every character truly, truly matters. Every single stupid misplaced semicolon, space where you meant tab, bracket instead of a parenthesis—mistakes can leave the computer in a state of panic." I've found this as a valuable lesson in coding since I don't have any experience in this area and it resonated with me.

		+	#"Computers are machines. They don’t know what a screen or an “a” are. To put the “a” on the screen, your computer has to pull the image of the “a” out of its memory as part of a font, an “a” made up of lines and circles. It has to take these lines and circles and render them in a little box of pixels in the part of its memory that manages the screen." This quote particularly resonates with me because while working on this assignment I was able to see how many "moving parts" are involved when a computer is processing a program or a code. It made me really appreciate what computer scientists do for the average non-coding person. I was in awe thinking about the incredibly enormous amount of information that is out there on computers and the web.
		+	#I think I could use some more practice. I find that when I practice something I can really get a hang of it and use it effectively. After repetition I even find myself able to start making connections about the information and making improvements on my own. Humbly, I also think I could use another review of what we just did in this assignment, it's a little confusing to me.

		+	#I believe that the quote “Every character truly, truly matters” related the most to my experience within this assignment. It is not only important to type with accuracy when using the command line, but it is critical to plan out each and every command. When developing the solution for the “just the answers”, I had to understand what was going to happen in every command in order to properly execute it. This could only be done by comprehending what each character will do.

 #* "Which is to say I’m not a natural. I love computers, but they never made any sense to me. And yet, after two decades of jamming information into my code-resistant brain, I’ve amassed enough knowledge that the computer has revealed itself."
 #*This quote perfectly describes both this assignment and how I feel about programming. I have always been fascinated by the puzzles and the secrets that programming has to offer, and like this week, it takes time to learn and explore every possibility. While looking at ways to take all the "junk" from the curling project I was fascinated by the symbols and ideas behind each stroke of the keyboard. While at first, like in high school, I am very overwhelmed and confused by programming I quickly collaborate and explore the possibilities and realize my true potential every computer project I turn in. This particular quote reminds me that although I am not a computer science major I work hard and "jam information into my code-resistant brain" and figure it out. Much like Paul Ford's experience I can now safely say I understand when another programmer/coder is talking and not sound too ignorant.
 #What do you think you need in order to grow more comfortable, confident, and effective with the command line and manipulating data at a “raw” level?
 #*Practice. Like everything the command line is just another obstacle that requires a bit of familiarity before becoming efficient and confident. My previous experience with the command line has not been as thoroughly presented as this class has allowed for, which makes this experience much better. In the past I was just typing letters and dashes hoping for the best. With practice and familiarity manipulating data will come more naturally.
