How do you start coding?

This was a fun clip to record. We look back at how we started coding and reflect on what it took to get started :)

One could do worse than checking out scrimba.com/

1) In your web browser, open the Developer Tools.
2) Select the Console tab and if full, click the "Clear console" button.
3) At the cursor type alert("Hello, World!") and press return.

If a panel is displayed showing the text "Hello, World!", congratulations you have written your first line of code. Not quite a program but code all the same.
