Wow what an amazing week, I had the pleasure of having Matteo Leonesi reach out and wanting to help - I am very humble to have anyone help me reach my goals of creating monoGames, I can only hope I can help you out too, Thank You ❤️ your a Champion 🏆.

I had the pleasure in having a conference call with Cockraoch Labs with Emily and Rachel. They were simply amazing to talk with and what they could offer my projects and I also received $100 gift voucher which I let them donate the gift to cancer as I know what victims of cancers go through. So you can see why I will be using Cochroach Labs in my project.

I reached out to Ready Player Me to see if I could connect their awesome easy to use character creator for monoGames, and I got a wonderful email saying I have been accepted - Thank you and I am over the moon.

A member of my Torum followers reach out to me to see if I could use Koinos Blockchain, so I sent them an email and I got a positive response. So I will be adding Koinos Blockchain to monoGames with Eth, Sol, Hive, Signum, Wax, BSC, etc. I know if your going to build your project you need to listen to your followers and Thank You Journeyman.

This has truly been a Great Week but you can imagine every week I go through a lot of information, save them in files, go through the files thoroughly and weed out what I dont think I need while working on the monoGames project at my Github repository for monoGames. I still have a very long way to go but every day I get closer especially with this Devto community as it has so many resources.

On a final note, last week I said I would post some basic HTML and CSS that I had learnt from HeadFirst HTML and CSS that I wanted to share to help others to understand workflows who are starting off but I see its a big undertaking especially with all the work I do trying to build my project so until I become an expert at HTML and CSS I will leave this to the experts but what I will say is that the HeadFirst HTML and CSS Book with these two links w3school and MDM are really good sources to learn especially now that I am learning javascript.

Thanks for reading the post and if you have any questions or would like to know more about my projects then please feel free to PM.

Hello World - My Coding Journey So Far

Hi my name is Steven, age 46, partner 5 kids, working part time from New Zealand. My goals are to learn to code Web3 so I can build my sustainable projects and my gaming metaverse on blockchain with Signum, Hive, Eth, Sol, Wax to name a few. What a daunting task that I gave myself, well I love challenges 💪💪💪 - me before I started lol.

Well weeks and months have past and what an up and down journey that it has been. I have to say this, if you are an aspiring learner, a lot of the youtube video's that teach you how to build just dont work and the biggest take away here is - that in most cases they dont work is because the version they are using has upgraded. The tech space moves incredibly quick so ensure you have the latest version of what ever the content creator is using and you have the add info to the code if need be. I think the content creators are awesome and I have loved trying to understand and if I get stuck most content creators answer my questions or I head over to stack over flow if they dont to find the answer.

Also while I have been watching these youtube tutorials and reading awesome content on Devto because this platform in my opinion covers a wide scope of topics I am trying to learn in one place - I have been reading HeadFirst HTML and CSS which has given me a really good understanding of the basics of coding. I would like to say that looking at all the lesson I have done and read 99% use some form of HTML and CSS which I have been able to understand. If you dont understand the basics its really hard to understand the concepts in my opinion.

So every week I will give you all a catch up post and next week I will go over some basic HTML and CSS that is widely used in coding that I have noticed to give all those learning a code a clearer understanding of the work flow of coding.
