It's been awhile since I've blogged. I've been inspired to start it up again by listening to the Codenewbie podcast. I suppose it's a good way for me to keep track of my progress, or lack thereof. After monthsyears of searching for something new to learn, I've finally given in and started playing around with coding. I purchased a full stack web development course on Zenva several months ago and tried teaching myself. It was a real struggle. It took me a long time to get through the classes. At times, even after much googling, I wasn't sure what I was doing. So, I finally decided to take the plunge and join a bootcamp. It's been great so far. It feels really good to learn something new and challenging after so many years of just riding planet earth and drifting through space. I do worry that my investment will not bear fruit, but I suppose that it is up to me to make sure that doesn't happen. The struggle with imposter syndrome is all too real.
I've just been certified as a top notch CSS Surgeon 😹😹😹. Codepip has just officially launched and they're offering CSS Surgeon for free until the 1st of September. I've already finished Flexbox Froggy(Free) and Grid Garden(Also free). I really do enjoy the CSS games on this website. It has helped me better understand CSS. There is still so much to learn. I've been trying to create a simple language learning website and it has been a struggle. I'm using the most simple website layout and yet it's just kicking my butt(I'm looking at you Nav bar). I hope to add some Javascript to make it more interactive in the future. At one point I really wanted to throw in the towel because it felt like I would never get this. It's hard not to give up when there are so many hurdles to cross. Can I really be confident at coding after just a 6 month bootcamp?
