Week 1

Initial Thoughts on <Coding></Coding>

Initially, the thought of coding slightly worried me as I had a very boring experience my freshman year of high school. Once I found out that we would be working on web design, I felt more confident and willing to put myself out there in the “world of coding”. One of the things I’ve been interested in for a while is graphic/web design as a career, especially when it comes to creating advertisements or customizing a website. Learning to code again, through html and css, has completely changed my perspective on computer science in general. I’m in a state of confusion at the moment because I thought I hated coding, but now, I’m willing to learn how to develop a website. I like the idea of creating something from scratch and, with programming, seeing my hard work literally come to life. I think coding is a great asset to becoming a graphic designer or whatever career I want because of the growing demands of people companies need from computer science or STEM (that’s where the money is). I look forward to completing the web design program on Team Treehouse, and possibly exploring other programs in the future.
