Hello! I'm Shane and I am a late bloomer with programming. I'm 34 and recently graduated with my associates in Computer Science. I currently work in my companies Creative Tech division, but my role only monitors users in our systems. I'm spending the next year immersing myself in JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to learn front-end development. I learned some in my schooling, but mostly focused on C++ and C#. I like those, but I'm intrigued by JS and all the other languages (python, PHP, etc). I'm focusing on JS for my foundation and then will branch out. I discovered this community through GitHub.

If I could go back a year and talk to myself, I would say start immersing yourself in all things programming now. Don't just rely on your coursework. Go out and discover Dev.to, freeCodeCamp, and anything else to increase my skills. I look forward to learning from you all!
