Week 1: Reflection And Learnings
Reflection
This week was a nice way to start off Fab Academy! I learned a lot about using Git and GitLab which I suppose will be very useful in the coming weeks. I didn't encounter any major challenges this week, and I was satisfied with the extent of my planning for my final project, though I still have some details I'm not certain about, such as how exactly I'll mount the screen on the car mirror.
