fundamentals

Everything starts with the basic building blocks. It would be silly to skip over this part of the process.

learning path

There are endless examples of roadmaps out there. This one just happens to be the one I’m on.

A hopefully ever-growing collection of things I have built.

Let’s build something

Learning by doing

I will probably break more things than I fix, but every mistake will get me closer to my goal.

Start experimenting with code

Perfect practice makes perfect

In the age of AI, it would be too easy to leave everything up to the computer. Instead, I will drill the fundamentals myself.

Let’s do this the hard way

“Learning to code was a dream I’ve had since childhood.
It seems so elusive. It’s easy to start learning but quickly it can feel like
you’re drowning. There are so many things to know, and not enough time to know it all.
Instead of getting stuck in theory, I want to try to make things.”

Why do I want to learn code? It opens up the door to so much creativity. To build, break, and play.

Luckily I’m too cheap to buy Udemy courses, but still I’m embarrassed of the others I’ve abandoned.

Stuck in tutorial hell

I’ll keep you company as you work through your code. Keep doing your best!
