“✨ Milestone reached: SheCodes Plus successfully completed! ✨ I've completed the SheCodes Plus module, taking further steps into the world of programming - with a course that not only taught me HTML, CSS, JavaScript and API basics, but also a lot about patience and perseverance. 🤯 I've always found it exciting to see how beautiful and functional websites and apps are created from endless lines of code. As a media designer, I'm familiar with design, but backend? That was completely new territory for me! And since I work in an IT company, I also wanted to better understand how web design works. 💻 My new skills and insights: 💡 HTML, CSS, JavaScript and API basics - of course! 💡 Patience and frustration tolerance: After hours of pondering, you realize you were missing a ; 🙈 ... 💡 Self-discipline: An online course offers a lot of flexibility, but that also means you have to keep at it! 💡 Structured & creative thinking - for me, this is the key to implementing ideas and solving problems. I am particularly proud of my final project, the BreezyBlue Weather App. 🌦️ Here I was able to bring all the new knowledge together and develop a web app that retrieves data via API and displays it in the interface I created myself. That was a huge learning step for me, and it was great fun! Would I recommend the course? Definitely! SheCodes creates a great learning environment for women who want to venture into the tech world. The modules are flexible and there is always support from the community. 💪👩‍💻 I'm looking forward to the next SheCodes modules and which project I get to work on next! 🔥”

“I am absolutely thrilled and amazed at what I can code in HTML, CSS and JavaScript after just a few weeks. 😱 😍 I was able to deliver a great project that I'm very proud of. It's just incredible to see how much you can achieve in such a short time. The course was very structured and the practical exercises helped me to apply what I had learned immediately. I especially liked the project at the end, where I could use all my new skills and bring them together to create a landing page on one of my favorite hobbies: plants 🌱. I can't wait to start the next part of the course, which will also cover HTML Forms, more JavaScript functions, Bootstrap and APIs. 🤗”

“I work as a media designer and therefore deal with websites on a daily basis. I usually use Wordpress and various themes and builders for this. But many themes quickly reach their limits. That's why I really wanted to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The SheCodes Basics course gives a great overview of the basic functions. I especially like the fact that you can put the things you just learned into practice in many small challenges and in the weekly assignments.”
