Figuring things out, one line of code at a time.
Today, I completed the form validation and semantic structure sections of Codecademy's HTML course. I'll be using what I reviewed today to work on my order form tomorrow and then it's on to CSS review with styling to follow. Things that stood out today: My old friend regex. I last encountered it when I was… Continue reading Day Four: HTML Form Validation & Semantic Structure
As mentioned yesterday, I decided to spend today practicing my HTML review so far by framing up an order form for a local company selling delicious-looking appetisers via whatsapp order. I scoured their FB page to gather the relevant details and got to work. Not everything I did in this form was included in yesterday's… Continue reading Day Three: Order Form

I've been reviewing my notes alongside the course, adding in any new insights I came across but it… Continue reading Day Two: HTML Forms

I started my coding journey inadvertently in December of 2018, while looking for a fun way to encourage my daughter in the STEM arena.

I've read a great deal about coding since I've started this journey, much of it very (maybe even a bit too) encouraging ("Anyone can code! Here's how to go from novice to engineer in 6 months!"), but some of it more grounded in a realistic understanding of what it takes to actually make it in the field.
