Day 1 learning to code #BlackTechTwitter #CodeNewbie

@tsatsu_eli5 Thank you☺️☺️

Picked up a MacBook and ergonomic mouse this week😊. Looking forward to not being so tethered to my desk on this journey. #BlackTechTwitter #BlackinTech #WomenInTech

@ItsMinnieB_ Sorry! Just seeing this! I did Designlab’s UX Foundations bootcamp. It’s heavily UI based. From there you can choose to progress to their UX Academy bootcamp.

Guys! I completed a UI bootcamp🎉. It’s been such a great experience to go from barely knowing how to form a square in Figma to creating things like this from simple prompts just a few weeks later🥺 #BlackTechTwitter #UI #BlackinTech

Day 12 of learning to code. I’ve been coding every day and discovered this guy called Dani Krossing. He’s great and so now I’m combining Free Code Camp with Dani’s lessons on YouTube. I think I forgot that my learning style is heavily audio based. #CodeNewbie #100DaysOfCode

@bells_arts @ZinoTrust Will do! Thanks for the tip!

[Heather @hezzyboard]

Love it!

I GOT THE JOB! I’m officially a Software Engineer @ a UK Bank! Less than a year after doing a career switch during a pandemic! NO Comp Science degree, NO bootcamp! Completely self-taught! Using @YouTube, @Udacity & @CodeFirstGirls #techtwitter #BlackTechTwitter #GirlsWhoCode

@iamserda Stop! Stop! Stop! You’re making me nervous about the rest of the journey 💀😭😂

Day 6: I’m working a double shift today (7:30am to 11:30pm) and don’t have access to my computer😅, so I’m using the Mimo app on my break to practice what I’ve learned so far.

Thanks @VICTORIOUSMAN14 for telling me about this app!☺️👊🏾#BlackTechTwitter #CodeNewbies

[Heather @hezzyboard]

@chukwuebuka_one @VICTORIOUSMAN14 I’ve never heard of it! But I’ll be sure to now. Thanks for the suggestion ☺️

@Oluwakayy Here’s to hoping! Thanks for the encouragement☺️

Yesterday (Day 2) I completed the HTML and HTML5 section (got stuck on the difference between input ID & value, did some Googling and got my first stack overflow experience *yayyy💃🏾! still a lil confused though*). It’s Day 3 and Basic CSS has begun. #BlackTechTwitter #CodeNewbie

[Heather @hezzyboard]

Two days ago (Day 4) I finished Basic CSS and started Applied Visual Design yesterday (Day 5).

I also check out W3 Schools and The Odin Project like everyone suggested and they’re fantastic! #BlackTechTwitter #CodeNewbie
