you've mentioned you can code in your comics, where did you learn? I've always been interested butnever knew where I could go to pick it up. well besides college but I can't afford that :(

I’m primarily self-taught, actually! Although I did go to college, it wasn’t for programming or web development. (Like…at all.)

I started with books you can find in the coding reference section of the bookstore, but that was before there were so many resources online to help. ;) (And those books are expensive!) Of course, knowing what you want to code will help you know which language and where to start. (Not sure? This infographic is super helpful!) I still love having code books around for reference though (I’m a nerd, yes) and there are some recent fantastic ones if you need recommendations.

But here are some resources to try out:

Code Academy (free)

SoloLearn (free - app)

Team Treehouse (paid subscription but totally worth it & less than college)

Lynda.com (paid subscription – if you want to learn things beyond programming, they’re a good all-around resource of video tutorials in a huge library of subjects)

TutsPlus (free tutorials and how-tos)

SitePoint (excellent professional resources from developers for developers – mix of free and paid content)

Interneting is Hard (free; CSS/HTML only)

Stack Overflow (the place to go when you need a pro’s help to debug your work!)

And these are only a few. Like, the first things that come to mind. And don’t forget blogs! There a TON of blog resources out there – SmashingMagazine is definitely my #1, and for web development, you had better be reading it.

Honestly: if I could learn code at 11 with nothing but geocities, a book way about my reading level, a terrible neon-colored website in comic sans, and lots of repeated trial and error…so can you. And there are way more resources available to you now, and only a few clicks away! (Seriously. Google it. GOOGLE IT.) You can pretty much find open-source software for code editors, compilers, version control, and anything else you could need.

Seriously.

You can get started learning today, and you can do it for free. Don’t get me wrong. It does take time and practice. But it’s best to learn by doing – so just start doing!

Christmas Gift Exchange!!

I am looking for anyone interested in a holiday gift exchange. Doesn’t matter where you live - you are welcome to join. You have to buy one gift valued of at least $10 and send it to your secret buddy. (Hello, Amazon Prime- you don’t even have to ship it! 🤣😉 ) you will then receive 6-36 gifts in return.

I want to give to so many people this year! This is so much fun! I love the thought of sending a gift to a complete stranger knowing that they would have a bright spot in their day because of what I sent 🎁

Message me know if you’re interested, and I will send you information about your gift buddy.

We could all use some happy mail! Anyone is welcome to join the fun!

🎄🎁 🎅🏻 ❤️
