Day 1: Introduction
I can’t remember if I already created an introduction for this page or not, but hi, I’m Bri. I’m going to be blogging my coding experience as I prep myself for the job search.
I’ve been coding for about a little over a year now, and I don’t feel as prepared as I would like to, so I figured this would be a great chance to talk about the journey.
I won’t make the promise to do this daily, especially since the weekends are when I have the least amount of time to do anything, but I will post as often as I can to keep you guys updated on what’s new on the agenda.
This week is all about JavaScript, and I’ll say this, JS makes me a little anxious. I’m not entirely sure why, but most likely it’s because there are so many components to it that I’m trying to wrap my head around, and while I have the basic fundamentals of variables, objects, arrays, functions, and loops, I still feel like it’s tricky put that knowledge together with DOM manipulation and other newer techniques such as arrow syntax and ES2015. I’m trying to get a good grasp on as much as I possibly can in this area because it’s much more challenging for me to get a grasp on.
HTML and CSS are usually pretty straightforward for me to work with, except I need to get familiar with cross browser compatibility and testing.
It feels good to talk about this. As someone who wants to go into front-end web development and who has felt like she hasn’t learned or progressed very much, it’s nice having a conversation (whether it’s in this format or more inclusive and interactive) to see just how much I already do know.
I’m so excited about the future ahead of me in this field, and I can’t wait to do a job that challenges me and teaches me something new with each and every assignment. Right now my focuses have been pretty restricted, as I want to focus on being as proficient as possible in these categories before spreading myself out too thin, but this blog will be a great way to share things I would love to work on in the future.
Hopefully any web developers, be it front-end, back-end, fullstack, will feel welcome to chat with me in my inbox. I would love to get to know some fellow developers and pick your brains a bit. I’m very curious about the industry and the types of jobs you guys are working. So drop by any time!
