I’m here because of Covid. I’m a professional musician, but stuck at home in the UK. Figured I would pick up some new skills and try to use this free time wisely!
After doing a week of Google’s Grasshopper content, I joined up to pro a month ago, with the goal of progressing through the full-stack development course. – I’m happy to say that I’m now on day 28 of the 30 day challenge, having completed 254 badges, and I’m 40% of the way through that course! It’s been really good just to take my own time and make sure I’m taking things in. Some days I’ve been glued to the computer, others I’ve just done an hour or two.
Right now I’m concentrating on JavaScript. I’ve done a bit of HTML and CSS in the past, so I’m fairly comfortable with that stuff (although I did go through a few courses that refreshed and updated my knowledge). I’ve also looked at Git and a small amount of React.
JavaScript was always a stumbling block in the past, but thankfully now I’ve managed to get over it and get through the content and i feel pretty comfortable writing code. Success!
Only problem now is working out how to turn off my brain and stop thinking about javascript when I’m lying awake at night, aha.
