Goals:
- 40+ wpm - Make sure that you are touch-typing regular text at least 40 wpm and shoot for 50+.
- 20 wpm in code - You'll be coding along and pair programming quite a bit in class, so this is essential in not falling behind.
Resources:
- 10 Fast Fingers Regular touch-typing (not looking at your fingers)
