About a month into the project, I've completed 77 exercises in learning how to code HTML and CSS. I've learned how to structure my code. I've learned how coders like to organize their codes into pretty, neat outlines. I can now change fonts, add photos, and pick colors. I even learned that coders have the ability to choose a color from over 6 million options. On February 3rd, I completed 50 exercises. As I advance, exercises become harder and more complex; moreover, it takes longer to do them.
So far, I really enjoy the project because I love the design aspect of it. I'm a visual learning and coding really plays to that. I've learned more about ways that work for me, in terms of learning and retaining a concept.
I sometimes hve small setbacks when I don't understand what the website is asking for me to code. If I don't get it in a certain number of tries, it offers to give me the code. Another time, the website was down so I couldn't work on coding. Instead, I researched more and prepared a new blog post (this one).
I will continue to do the exercises. I'm about 65% done with the lesson. After the lesson, I will figure out whether I'm ready to hit the ground running or need to practice more. Obviously, that will determine my continuing steps.
This project has really shown me how much freedom you have with code. It has opened my eyes to how much coding is used. Even my blogger page has an option to write blog posts in HTML. Who knows, maybe I will try!
