🌱 My Coding Journey: Small Steps, Simple Projects, and Steady Progress

🌟 Introduction

Hi everyone! This is my first post on DEV, so I thought I’d share a little bit about my coding journey. I’m currently learning web development and experimenting with small projects as I grow. Nothing too fancy — just simple, consistent progress.

🔧 What I’m Learning

Lately, I’m focusing on the basics:

  • HTML – building simple layouts
  • CSS – understanding styling & structure
  • JavaScript – practicing small logic and interactive components
  • Python (basic) – mainly for tiny automation experiments

My goal isn’t perfection… it’s just daily progress.

🛠️ Mini Projects I’m Building

To make learning more fun, I’ve been working on small, beginner-friendly projects such as:

  • Simple landing pages
  • Basic calculators
  • Tiny automation scripts
  • Form handling practice
  • Mini to-do list apps

Even the smallest project teaches a lot.

💡 Why I Started Sharing

I realized that writing, sharing, and documenting the process:

  • Helps me understand concepts better
  • Keeps me motivated
  • Connects me with other learners
  • Creates a place to track my growth

If you're also learning to code, you already know how helpful a supportive community can be.

🚀 My Next Steps

In the next few weeks, I want to explore:

  • Working with APIs
  • More JavaScript challenges
  • Improving UI/UX basics
  • Small automation workflows

I’m excited to continue building and improving step by step.
