Why I recommend coding to everyone:

- It's fun and rewarding.
- You can get a great job.
- You can freelance on the side.
- You can build your own product.

Why did you start coding?

[ICT Empower @ICT_Empower]

We learn by doing, an hour a day of practice is all you need...And it's okay if you don't understand, feel free to ask questions.

[Adrian Twarog 🦘 @adrian_twarog]

A common question in coding is where to start. Start with:

- HTML
- CSS

Once you feel comfortable with these move on to scripting with JavaScript.

- JS

That’s the basics of Frontend. You can advanced your skills with:

- React
- Angular
- Vue

Onwards to success!
