(My Daughter and I)
Hello Blog World!
Well here it goes. This is my blog about my journey from being a web developer novice to (hopefully) expert.
My journey began last week when I had an idea to learn web programming. Odd considering that 15 years ago my programming teacher in high school literally threw the book at me. Ever since I've had a terrible disdain for learning anything remotely connected to web programming.
I've decided to face my demons and attack web programming with vengeance. I won't be held captive by my past, nor by those who told me I was hopeless. This blog is about documenting my progress, frustration and ultimate victories not only in regards to web programming but also in regards to the confines of the labels I was given during my first endeavour into this field some 15 years ago.
I endeavor to blog my daily progress, as a means to be an encouragement to others just starting in this field who may be just as "hopeless" as I am.
Let's face it; if I can do it anyone can!
After searching for several online programs for learning code, I decided to commence with www.codeacademy.com. I'll be really honest here, I was sold by their sample window that asks basic questions on their main page. It was really straight forward, uncomplicated and easy to understand. With a programming history like mine, it was exactly what I needed to ease into my new adventure. There may be better programs available out there (I'm sure there are) but this is the one that made me feel "at home".
Until tomorrow, when I share my beginners experience with working on HTML, yikes. I don't even know what it stands for...
