Tbh I have <strong>no clue</strong> what to think of it for now. However it does feel good, like some sort of driving force, a commitment, not only to learn to code but also to show my <strong>coding journey</strong>. Anyway I'll try my best to keep up with post and discuss the things that I learn. If not for nothing else it will be a nice documentation of my evolution as a developer. </p> <p>Starting off I'll give a brief overview about my coding experiences so far. I only recently realised that I first started coding once I was on high-school about 20 years ago. it was coding alright but not with the purest of intentions... My first coding experience was coding little cheatsheets in to my old TI-82 Graphing Calculator. Not only was this a task that took longer than to actually study for my test it also turned out to be useless as we weren't allowed to use our own calculator.</p> <p>My next encounter with coding came many years later when I got the question to make a website for one of my friends. it was a very simple website more like an online business card with out much actual code other than a button that revealed an email address.</p> <p>Now we have come to my most recent coding episode, the one where I decided to actually systematically learn to code, the episode I find myself in today. It started about 6 weeks ago or so when I was in lockdown (original I know...). I've been low key learning to code for the past year using sites like freecodecamp.com and watching YouTube tutorials. But now I felt I really wanted to go for it and I bought myself a subscription on Scrimba.</p> <p>I'm currently enrolled in the front end career-path and I'm about half way. I love the way it teaches with an interactive way of typing code. It is nice to have a solid base and a solid path to follow because otherwise it can be overwhelming to know where ant what to learn. I'll be keeping you updated on what I learn and my progress.</p> <p>Thanks for reading and till next post,</p> <p>Bart </p> graph myfirstcode
