However, reality has proven to be quite different. The intensity of the course has far exceeded my initial expectations, and it feels like I've been swept up in a whirlwind of information and assignments. </p> <p>I'm trying to keep pace, trying to absorb all the new knowledge without falling behind, but it's certainly proving to be a challenge. It's important, though, that I keep reminding myself that education, like life, is a marathon and not a sprint. It's about long-term endurance, not short-term speed. It's about steady, consistent effort, not bursts of frantic activity. This is a reminder that I need to keep echoing in my mind as I navigate this course and continue on this journey of learning.</p> webdev fullstack backenddevelopment developer Rhianna Sat, 13 Apr 2024 13:44:01 +0000 https://dev.to/rhianna/embracing-learning-rediscovery-and-self-actualisation-4ga6 https://dev.to/rhianna/embracing-learning-rediscovery-and-self-actualisation-4ga6 <p>Once upon a time, after 15 long years since obtaining a university degree merely for the sake of it, I found myself diving into the depths of learning once again. This time, however, it was different. The subject matter that captivated my attention was not merely a requirement but a genuine interest that sparked a newfound enthusiasm within me.</p> <p>As I delved into this new realm of knowledge, I realised that this was the first time in my life that I was truly engaged in learning something of actual interest. The sense of fulfillment and excitement that coursed through me was palpable, a stark contrast to the disinterest that overshadowed my university days.</p> <p>With each discovery and each lesson absorbed, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and direction. This was not just about acquiring knowledge; it was about personal growth, self-discovery, and charting a path that resonated with my aspirations and dreams.</p> <p>As I raised a toast to the future that lay ahead, I knew that this journey of learning, self-discovery, and personal growth was not just a momentary pursuit but a commitment to shaping my life and my destiny. Here's to the rest of my future, filled with endless possibilities and the joy of pursuing what truly matters. Cheers to new beginnings and the exciting adventures that await on this path of self-discovery!</p> webdev beginners programming career Rhianna Sun, 03 Mar 2024 04:32:19 +0000 https://dev.to/rhianna/first-week-1m0d https://dev.to/rhianna/first-week-1m0d <h1> What an introduction! </h1> <h2> First week down, 24 to go... </h2> <p><em>What we learnt:</em></p> <ol> <li>HTML</li> <li>CSS</li> <li>Git</li> <li>JavaScript</li> </ol> webdev beginners programming career Rhianna Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:04:18 +0000 https://dev.to/rhianna/journalling-2lk3 https://dev.to/rhianna/journalling-2lk3 <p>Reading David Walsh's 'impostor-syndrome' blog has inspired me to write about my WD journey, whether I share this or not, journalling is always a good idea!</p> davidwalsh webdev beginners blog Rhianna Mon, 12 Feb 2024 06:51:24 +0000 https://dev.to/rhianna/pre-course-work-kdn https://dev.to/rhianna/pre-course-work-kdn <p>Here goes the pre-course work with the USYD, 'Full Stack Engineer' here we come (<em>please</em>)!</p> webdev beginners programming career
