Hi All

I recently went through a life changing event, I was left paralyzed from the chest down and told I would never walk again, I beat that and can now walk after 12 months of ■■■■, but cannot continue in my old career path and so am try ing to retrain myself. Being 51 this is a daunting task, but I am determind :grinning: hope this will help me get into the programming route and teach me all I need.

I have started the Full Stack course and am looking for advice on best practice and general things to do etc.

Thanks in advance
