I wanted to share a question I answered on Quora.com today. It was interesting and I thought I ended up giving a decent answer. Here is the question: If programming languages are only tools in programming, then how does one really start learning programming? That kind of baffled me when I first read it, but […]
I have been struggling through the idea of recursion this week, particularly when it comes to the code for the Fibonacci sequence. I’m not sure why this baffled me (the iterative version took me a minute to grasp, but nothing like this), but it really had me confused last night. After a few articles last […]
I am at the 50% mark of Codecademy.com’s JavaScript course and on chapter three of the Eloquent JS book. These are excellent resources, but I am adding to this by starting FreeCodeCamp.com. There are a few reasons I am doing this: The camp offers some real life projects It has a good base of ‘campers’ […]

After completing the HTML and CSS portions of Rob Percival’s Udemy course, I felt like I could benefit from a little more practice. I started CodeAcademy’s course about 2 weeks ago and just finished. I feel pretty comfortable with reading CSS and HTML now. I am also pretty confident that I can start working on […]
Experience is an interesting section for me. I have done several different things and enjoy many more. Experience, to me, is more than just work history and even more than volunteer work. Much of my experience with computers, for example, was gained through self learning, hobbies, leisure, etc. If you were to look solely at […]
I thought it would be best to start this story by giving you an idea of my academic background. To start, I’ll mention that I was in a public school system through the second grade, but was homeschooled from third grade to graduation. at age 14 I had completed ninth and tenth grades, but had […]
This is my first post on this blog. I will try to record my adventure into the world of coding and web development here. I will hopefully be posting my backstory soon, so that any readers can adequately understand where I’m coming from. After reading that post the following statement will be needless to say, […]
