I’m an architect who, at some point several months ago, decided to change her career to front-end development. My passion for design, a strong eye for UI/UX, and an interest in the digital world naturally led me to this magical world of coding.
As someone with almost no prior experience in programming, stepping into this field has been both exciting and overwhelming. In the last 4–5 months, I’ve gone through a rollercoaster of emotions—sometimes I feel smart and accomplished, other times I feel frustrated and stuck. Learning a completely new subject after years in a different industry is both challenging and rewarding.
As a self learner, I’ve been focusing on the fundamentals of web development so far:
- HTML & CSS: Learning how to structure and style web pages.
- JavaScript: Understanding how to make websites interactive.
- Git & GitHub: Managing my code and tracking changes like a real developer!(I still need to urge myself to use GitHub more.)
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that consistency is key. The more I practice, the more things start to make sense.
I still have a long way to go, but I’m excited about the journey.
If you’ve changed your career into tech, what was your experience like? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
