introduction part 3

After my last intro I left off talking about some hiccups I had in my early 20's which lead me to quit trying to learn programming.

if you would like to catch up with where we are now Click here So without further ado.

Let's fast forward a few years I'll be honest I don't really remember what it is that made me want to get inro programming again it was always something I kept telling myself I would do. I just never took the plunge.

Maybe it was the failing relationship I was in, or the job I had that I hated Maybe I just needed something productive to fill my time aside from hours of video games.

So one day I decide to start looking up programming on youtube and come across a few videos a lot of hustle video and how coding will change your life but I wasn't sold just yet.

I decided to look up some "free" code learning platforms which brought me to Freecodecamp.com I figure well I was give this a shot it's free what do I have to lose. I spent some time online and dedcided that I wanted to build for the web... Why? well it does have a relatively low barrier to entry and also with things like react natvie I could also try my hand with rudementary app develop.

So I dive right in any time I'm not working or doing things around the house I'm on freecodecamp of course the html was a breese pretty short and to the point. Then came css and I really enjoyed watching what I was typing in there take shape and start to transform the html I wrote previously into something of my own creation.

I think it was maybe a week of really putting in hours into the html and css course and I was already trying to build very basic landing pages spending hours googling and playing with css and html to make small landing pages I wanted.

So naturally the next step was to go into vanilla javascript and this is when I realized I wanted to do this for a job so I decided it was time to invest some money which I didn't ahve a lot of into my education. I bought a cheap laptop and starting pay $25 a month for a teamtreehouse memebership and I dove right in.

With this new memebership I'll be honest I started over from square one with html and css just to see if it was any different, and a bit of doubt in myself at this point that I hada good enough grasp on it. I know, I know. A good grasp on html. I wanted to make sure that I was really on par with it though.

The javascipt was intersting the problem I ran into and has been a personal issue of mine is when i learn something I need to understand why it is that something is happeneing or why it works that way not just that it works.

I found that I will learn something new then google it to figure out why it works that way and it helps make more sense.

This has been a very drawn out post and the introduction part of my blog isn't the most popular, for me it makes sense to explain where I started and how which lead me to where I am.

Stay tuned for part 4
