@EmmaBostian Congratulations! I love the little science books for babies. My daughter is obsessed with them!

When you decide to trash your responsive design mock-up and start the project over 3 hours before it’s due 😬 #justmadeit #css #CodeNewbie

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

I always feel like I have a good handle on css until I have to create my own design and then I’m sitting here like what are colors? How do I center anything? Why is my toddler better at art than me? #CodeNewbies

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

You ever just feel overwhelmed with all the things you want to learn? 😅 #CodeNewbie #momswhocode

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

I know... it's been a while since I updated my progress, but I've been hard at work learning new languages the past few months. But today we are back to the basics with some css grid work! #CodeNewbies #riverlandcprostudent @riverlandcpro

Setup recommendations? I’m currently working on a dell laptop with a tv as a second monitor 😅 I was thinking about maybe getting a new laptop and some actual computer monitors. Windows? Mac? What do you suggest for an aspiring programmer? #CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode #Webdesign

Alright Twitterverse, I'm in a pickle. I'm studying Visual Basic this semester and working on making a button beep from the system sounds but can't figure out how to get it to play. Anyone have any tips? Thoughts? Resources? #ImSoLost #MomsWhoCode #CodeNewbies

I have a lot of (craft) projects in the works! But today I was able to venture out to get the colors I needed for this gift for my brother for Father’s Day ❤️ He’s a big golfer and he’s going to love it! #CraftyAuntie

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

I got some coding done at work today! I started doing some Js exercises on #Codecademy and got back to my technical doc on #freecodecamp. It’s been a while but at least it felt good to get back to it!

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

@TheJackForge I love puzzles!!!

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

So in these uncertain times, I’ve taken a break from coding. Lately my nights have been full of sewing face masks for my family! It does feel good to make some crafts, especially since I’ve never made a sewing project before! #crafturday #facemask

Day 13: I ended up getting a web bootcamp course on Udemy to really understand fundamentals. I really like how easy it is to understand and that there’s a Facebook group for people who took the class. #Back2Basics #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Now that I’m done with school for the semester, I’m looking into continuing my learning through the summer. Anyone have suggestions for online courses? I’ve been looking at some on Udemy but can’t decide which ones to take! #CodeNewbie

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Day 12: Today I have been having a lot of issues with Adobe Air for my Animation homework which is quite frustrating. So while I’m waiting 25 minutes for a dumb download, an idea for a project popped in my head, so I’ve been working on a wireframe for that 😁 #100DaysOfCode

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Day 11: No actual coding today, but I started looking at the @CodePen challenges and read a few articles about GitHub as I want to try to start doing more projects while I'm on summer break. #NeverStopLearning #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

@ms_alonso_ That’s a big part of it too, I’m just really ready for a career change but I don’t know if I’m quite qualified yet to make the leap

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Just looking around at job postings for a front-end position in my area and man I’m intimidated by all the requirements! 😩 What was the point that you felt confident in starting to apply? #CodeNewbie #webdeveloper

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

@NorthStarCode That’s a great perspective!! Thank you for sharing that!

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Day 10: I’ve been busy wrapping up the semester for my classes. I put my HFH site on a server to make it live and learned some jQuery UI! #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #RiverlandCpro

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

@JoseMan51094887 @100xcode It was for a homework assignment so we plugged in the graphics and used keyframes for the different changes, buttons can be created right in animate and then used an action script to enter the js to connect them!

[Melissa Williams @craftsandcodes]

Day 9: I learned how to create an animation using Adobe Animate and incorporate JavaScript to make interactive buttons! #100DaysOfCode #RiverlandCPRO #CodeNewbie #MomsWhoCode
