Do i know any more JS than i did before? Not much... then i moved on to Codecademy's Intro to JS and it seems after the third time going through it , something is starting to finally stick! On a more humiliating and humbling note, I just realized that after 4-5 months in of brutal 12 hour days, i don't know much more than HTML and basic CSS. Can i pass basic responsive design, or even make boxes on both sides of the webpage? A sad, very sad no... still needing to brush up on flexbox, grid and the (stuff?) that makes it easier such as tailwind bootstap and some other thingamagig.... all to be learning as i go further into the deeper end of Frontend development. </h1> beginners codenewbie javascript css Christine Marshall Wed, 03 Jun 2020 09:00:19 +0000 https://dev.to/momandalex022/what-is-the-best-and-simplest-coding-editor-for-newbies-1h6h https://dev.to/momandalex022/what-is-the-best-and-simplest-coding-editor-for-newbies-1h6h <p>Hi I am a fairly newbie when i was using freecodecamp they had me go to CODPEN and i loved its simplicity... but there are some things i believe it can't do which is basically turning into a real webpage, and especially i don't believe it will take me past HTML, JavaScript and CSS... I love the wrap around with Sublime but I get confused and frustrated on downloading any packages. I have tried JSBIN i really like the version before this but this new version doesn't seem like it is less newbie friendly... or will take me past the big three HTML, CSS, Javascript... What are your ideas?</p> beginners help Christine Marshall Sun, 24 May 2020 15:17:03 +0000 https://dev.to/momandalex022/a-path-to-from-beginning-to-end-4kkn https://dev.to/momandalex022/a-path-to-from-beginning-to-end-4kkn <p>As a beginner there are a lot of free resources out there to learn to code and there are also a lot of paid resources out there to learn the same thing... which I have found both in my journey to find exactly what i do want and do not want to do in coding. What started my interest was that i found at least three different lists of some number of free web sites to learn coding for free... and the lists just kept getting bigger, landing me in a literal sea of what to learn next and where...<br> But then somehow i happened upon in one of those lists what is called a curated site (meaning it shows you the PATH, to get where you want to go) and this site showed all the free resources in order of how to get there. This site is called <a href="https://bent.io.com">https://bent.io.com</a> it has many different pathways for front-stack, back-end and full-stack developers and all the programs a person could want to learn and each program component has at least two of the best free web sites to learn what the person wants to learn. It was a goldmine for me. And i just wanted to share it with all of you beginners that are poor like me who have so much to learn but are not sure of the path to get there.<br> Thanks for reading,<br> Christine</p> beginners
