Welcome to the community! I'm just starting out as well - just finished a course on basic HTML and now onto CSS (on codecademy.com)! I'm a fellow career-changer, from education to tech! Reading, posting, and engaging more here on this platform, attending virtual conferences, and following people who interest me has helped get my wheels turning. :)
Coming from education is definitely helpful! It really opened my mind to the different outlets of learning and how to gather information.
I just completed HTML & CSS and just diving into JavaScript on freeCodeCamp. How do you like codecademy? There are so many different places to learn code and I'm curious to find out how they differ. What made you choose codecademy as your learning platform?
Awesome! I like it, I think I just chose it because I saw it in several articles but I also saw freeCodeCamp a lot too. What do you like about freeCodeCamp?
There are just so many outlets for learning and freeCodeCamp was recommended by my cousin who has been a part of the DEV community for quite a while. His opinion was highly valued since I didn’t know where to start.
I like that there’s different ways you can get help on challenges. You can get a hint, watch a video tutorial, or even ask the community. It’s great to check understanding on different levels. It’s been great so far.
Best of luck!
