Hi all,

I am a web and app developer living in the Boston area. I work at Education Development Center and do a mix of front-end development, Drupal development, eLearning consulting, app development. I also work as a tutor / writing coach / homework coach and write about web development both here and on Medium.

At EDC we are right now in the midst of some Drupal upgrades and migrations, which represent the majority of our work this year. I have been writing about about my experience with a D8/D9 upgrade this week here on Dev.to.

Before coming to EDC, I taught high school biology & other sciences. During that time, I wrote and illustrated the Dr. Birdley Teaches Science series.

While I grew up in Virginia, I have now spent more of my life in Massachusetts. Outside of work I enjoy illustration, running, writing about technology, and playing my son at chess.

Nice to meet everyone and I hope to see you in some of the forums.

Hi!

I'm not a web developer but I really want to become one. So far, I have mastered the html language (I needed it for uploading content to the site) and the basics of css. Where would you advise me to start? I don't like paid courses, but eager to grow up as a self-taught person. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hi! I've started here w3schools.com/html/default.asp Definitely recommend, especially I like that part where you can test to use the code prnt.sc/1m6grne They also have CSS there

Also, I've watched some free videos, here is my favorite one videos.lukesmith.xyz/videos/watch/...

Hopefully, it will help
