“This project was a real test. I cannot remember being this frustrated over something I couldn't get right on the get-go or on the first or second try, but I'm blown away that I built a fully functional weather app from the ground up.”

“Learning coding has honestly been such a fun ride 😄!”

“When I first started learning how to code, I wasn’t sure what to expect. At times, it felt like learning an entirely new language 😥, full of symbols, strange rules, and concepts that didn’t immediately make sense. But with each project, each error fixed, and each new concept understood, I began to see the logic and creativity behind coding, and suddenly my chair became my full-time residence 😅. What I enjoy most is how coding trained me to think differently. It teaches problem-solving, attention to detail, and the patience to work through challenges. I've discovered that mistakes are not setbacks, but rather, they serve as stepping stones towards understanding. Every “error message” is just a guide pointing me toward a better solution. So far, I’ve explored HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript, learning how these languages bring ideas to life. Watching something I built appear on the screen feels incredibly rewarding. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and excited about how much more there is to learn. This journey has shown me that coding isn’t just for “tech experts” 🤓; it’s a skill anyone can develop with curiosity, consistency, and an open mind. I’m excited to build more, solve more, and continue to grow as a coder. A big shout-out to Matt!!”
