# Free 7-Day AI Coding Journal + Starter App

Thank you for downloading the free starter from AgenticPPA.

WHAT IS IN THIS ZIP
1. ghana-ai-coding-journal-7-day-free.pdf  - a printable, fillable 7-day journal.
2. ai-coding-journal-starter (folder)      - a small app that saves your learning entries on your computer.
3. README.txt                              - this file.

OPTION A - JUST USE THE JOURNAL (no setup)
Open the PDF and fill it in for seven learning sessions. That is all you need to start.

OPTION B - RUN THE STARTER APP (optional, needs Python 3)
Windows: open the ai-coding-journal-starter folder and double-click "Start AI Journal.bat".
Mac: open the ai-coding-journal-starter folder and double-click "Start AI Journal.command".
     (If Mac blocks it the first time: right-click the file, choose Open, then Open again.)
If double-click does not work, open a terminal in that folder and run:
     python3 scripts/journal_cli.py menu
Your entries are saved in a folder called AI-Journal in your home directory.

NEED PYTHON?
Install it free from https://www.python.org/downloads/ then try Option B again.
The optional AI helper needs an OpenAI key; everything else works without it.

WANT THE FULL SYSTEM?
The paid Student Portfolio Pack adds the 12-week portfolio journal, prompt log, project
case-study and GitHub README templates, an internship and scholarship tracker, and the
complete toolkit. See https://agenticppa.com/ghana-ai-coding-journal
