It was just like yesterday when I get to write my first 'Hello world' using python programming language. I couldn't go pass that level because I don't have a reason or goals to keep on with it. So on this faithful day on twitter, a tweet was re-tweeted to my timeline from @unicodeveloper about those who will love to learn how to code and that was how I go to join the first slack workspace. From that period, I was able to build a great passion for the tech world, precisely software engineering. I started learning how to code in a proper way online to aid my journey to become a software engineer.
During this process it got to a point where I felt lost, I didn't know the next direction to go, it was like make a wrong decision. This led to me look out for people who are already make a profession out this and are doing so well. During my search for answers I came across people like @zfinix , @dthompsondev @ThomasBurkhartB @hacksultan e.t.c. Dev community like @codenewbie , dev.to, @theZuriTeam and finally @hnginternship where i get to know about the HNGi8 intership. I had to turn on notification for the @hnginternship to ensure that I get to know about the next edition of the HNG intership. I register for this internship via this link: (https://internship.zuri.team). During this intership, I want to grow more as a developer, network, make good friends and build meaningful relationships. I'm Dare Oloruntoba, and I'm in HNGi8's Frontend Track.

The following resources are what I use when I started to learn how to code:

HTML Crash Course This YouTube video by Brad Traversy gives you a nice overview of HTML5. This way you won't have many challenges when it comes to structuring your websites or apps because your foundation is strong.
GIT This YouTube playlist by Free Code Camp explains basic things in Git and GitHub to get you started. I like it because it has short, concise videos that are easy to understand.
JavaScript tutorial for Beginners This video explains the basics of JavaScript and gives you links to more in-depth videos.
Figma UI design This YouTube video by AJ&Smart walks you through the basics of Figma and helps you design a simple fun project while learning it.
