G'day! I'm Dan from Melbourne Australia and I'm trying to work out if 46 is too old to try and be a halfway decent developer. I've got a background in communications and marketing, and I'm pretty keen on WordPress. Ultimately I'd like to be able to develop kick arse themes that I could, you know, SELL, and make a living from... but maybe that dream is a bit old now.
Anyway, I've been doing coding my nubs off since Jan and I have done a fair few online courses about HTML, CSS, JavaScript and WordPress and next month I start a BootCamp on JavaScript for WordPress with Zac Gordon. I've been here for a while but I didn't know about this thread until I got an email update so here I am introducing myself. Look at me go!
My favourite thing in the whole world right now is Visual Studio Code and pushing lessons to GitHub via Git and the integrated Terminal, I figure if that was a job I could do, I would be really good at it.
