Learning Markdown

Learning Markdown 🤓

Walking into the world of Web Development, the design and structure of the worldwide web, is an overwhelming yet invigorating project.

I am constantly struck by the massive mountain of information and knowledge being made accessible in my time.

"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." -1st Corinthians 8:1 ESV

It is a love of knowledge that builds within me this ever expanding thirst for more. To be engrossed in the latest and greatest while maintaining a grasp on historical foundation.


I stand on the shoulders of giants and am afforded the privilege to see what they could only dream, so that I may dream what others will one day see.


In my approach to learning all things Web Development, I must reign in my lifelong struggle of the Mad Dash. This has been an Achilles Heel for me as I often race to reach farther than I can grasp by attempting to learn all things at the same time, in an unordered and unstructured manner. I often fail to discipline my mind for the Marathon of knowledge. The sprint is often a more appealing avenue. But that is a road that quickly leads to ruin. So I must content myself in these early days to love only three things and three things alone:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

About Me

I am a Fine Art Portraitist and a retired Army Veteran. As an aspiring Web Developer and Cyber Security Specialist, I spend a great deal of time at my office learning, coding, breaking, and learning more. All wrapped around when not retouching and printing portraits.
