Welcome to my first post on my Web Authoring blog which will document my coding journey from the first week to my final week of studying code.
This week I started my first class in Web authoring, where I started learning my first code language which is HTML. I downloaded my fist coding software’s Atom and Visual studio. Despite only briefly using both software, both feel well optimised and helpful. I also signed up to Free Code Camp to practice writing code in-between classes. Free Code Camp is brilliant. For those of you who do not know, Free Code Camp is exactly what the name implies, a free code camp! They offer thousands of videos, articles, and interactive coding lesson to its users. I cannot recommend it enough!
At the end of the class, I could not stop feeling completely overwhelmed by the work involved, but I did not feel despair. I felt more of a sense of eagerness and anticipation to learn something new. If you are a gamer you will understand this comparison. It is like starting a massive open world RPG for the first time, like The Wither 3 and hundreds of different markers start populating on your map. There is an overwhelming sense of it all being too much. But the eagerness and the anticipation of completing all theses quests and the sense of completion when you obtain the coveted platinum trophy completely surpasses the overwhelming feeling. This is exactly how I felt when I heard about all the different types of code such as HTML CSS and Java to name a few. That said, the thought of creating my very own website one day, is the platinum trophy at the end of it all! I eagerly wait for my next class to start so I can carry on my code quest.
Thank to anyone who has read this far, I look forward to sharing more of my code journey next week
