Lolcatclock iz finished I have it hosted on my site at https://www.danellematthewsdesigns.com/lolcat
I did it! I have functioning javascript for a magic 8-ball. All that’s left is tweaking it to work with html and css so an question can be typed in and have a random answer
Coders aren't just Silicon Valley bros—they're women, LGBTQ+ people, men of color, and people with disabilities. Tech is for everyone.
The first in our new series, Who Codes, is live today! Check it out ;)
(via GIPHY) Check out our free Coding Victories gif pack! https://skillcrush.com/coding-victory-gif-pack GET THE PARTY STARTED
A lot of computing pioneers, the ones who programmed the first digital computers, were women. For decades, the number of women in computer science was growing. But in 1984, something changed.
Women should be coding. Women are good at math. The gender divide is a problem we all need to solve.
People drop out of college for tons of reasons, but it doesn't mean they can't have tech careers—no degree required.
Why do we pretend like college is the only option?
Welcome to the Journey
So, I suppose this is where we will begin. This isn’t, however, the actual beginning. That happened about a year ago.....
I found myself working on my computer and actually loving it. I wasn’t coding yet, but making informational, animated web videos. Very different, I know, but similarly satisfying. I enjoyed watching my ideas come to life; literally watching them walk around on the screen. I was using an animation software, and while it was easy and fun to use, I found so many areas where I needed more from the developers. I found myself wondering what it would be like to actually be able to create something from scratch; make something that wasn’t there before.
Fast-forward.... after countless free online courses, I decided I wanted to take the plunge. I didn’t know, and still don’t, what exactly I’d like to do with a career in development. All I knew is I had to start somewhere. I decided to apply for ADA Developers Academy. Boy was that a wakeup call. I honestly had no idea what I was doing through most of the application process. But I persisted and submitted my application. Than came the anxiety. I couldn’t stand the waiting. Especially because I wasn’t convinced I’d actually get past the first phase. So, after a few weeks of wringing my hands, listening to code related podcasts, and trying to absorb all things code, I decided I was sick of waiting and would shift to my plan “b”.
I’d heard about Skillcrush from Adda herself. She came through my headphones from a podcast called “Learn to Code With Me”. I loved how simple she made it sound.... learn one skill and parlay it into another and another, and bam! Career in tech! Ok, ok. So maybe not that simple. I knew it would take a lot of work, but it also sounded like a great place to start. So I did it. I started. It’s been just under 2 months and I’m already nearly finished with phase 1 of the All Access Blueprint! I’ve launched my own domain, and added a class project to GitHub Pages. So, join me as I see what comes next on this incredible journey!
When you are basically #skillcrushingit with a featured post and you taught the @gdi_atlanta Intro to HTML class all in the same week ❤💪💻☕☕☕much love to those that support me and believe in me! If I tagged you, it's because you helped me get to where I am today one way or another 👏🏽02;22;2017 (at Marietta, Georgia)
