I am working a lot with CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) today. I do like CSS for the ease of styling a webpage, faster page speed, and better user experience. But some things have been irking me about CSS as we go into different projects in FreeCodeCamp: 1) CSS isn’t used the same from project to…

I finished the book “You belong in Tech.” I feel like I have more insight into things and what to do. But things are easier said than done. Today in coding, I learned about classes in HTML. As Tommy said, “Classes allow manipulation by CSS and Javascript.” This makes much more sense than the description…

The end of the book, You Belong in Tech is quite intimidating. However, she gives excellent information about your application, cover letter, interviews, and such. I have about 30 more pages to read in this book. I may finish it after I’m done writing here. Sandy, my cat, has been sitting at my desk for…

I’m almost done with the book; You Belong in Tech. She has been talking about creating an application kit. She recommends reading this part of the book later in your journey, but I like finishing a book. We’ve been getting some snow the past couple of days. I think we are in the middle of…

I feel a bit lost today. I did read more of the ‘You Belong in Tech’ book. She is talking more about using social media to build a community and make a name for yourself. Here are some ways to do so: 1) Use Twitter to my advantage. Make posts, and retweet interesting tech posts….

I didn’t study much today, though I read more in “You Belong in Tech.” The author went over the dos and don’ts of social media and coding communities, events and conferences, and Discord for getting into talking about tech with other people. Alexis had her doctor’s appointment follow-up for her medication. Her medication is working…

As I’m continuing this book, “You Belong in Tech,” I’m up to the chapter about making a name for yourself and branding yourself. Getting out there and putting a name for myself goes against my introverted heart. All my social media accounts are private for a reason. The thing is, making a name for yourself…

Today has been a busy study day. I started by reading more of “You Belong in Tech,” where she talked about different ways to learn code. Two that I found interesting are freecodecamp and the Odin project. They are both in web development with a focus on different languages within web development. I started by…

I haven’t written for few-ish days. The week went by quickly, and now it’s the start of a new week. I must leave in about an hour to pick up Alex from school. I’ve just spent the last half hour looking for things to have for dinner and reading “You Belong in Tech: How to…

Today was busy. Lexi had her doctor’s appointment today. Of course, I forgot to pick up her medication today, so I will get it tomorrow. I feel for Lex; her doctor was in a little bit of a mood. But I’m proud of Lexi for keeping her tone neutral. Especially for not being on her…
