Getting used to Programming

By the time it came to my second week at Andela for the Women In Technology Program,I started feeling the heat of programming. I had to learn new tech lingo plus how to make my programs work.

See, creating an outline of a web page was something that I found simple to do while doing it on paper. However, using code to make my idea work was something else. With coding when your idea doesn’t work out,it simply doesn’t go away unless you find a solution.

So as this happened, I realized that one small mistake with code can make the program fail to workout. For example, a missing closing html tag or adding a comma, full stop or question mark in code when it’s not supposed to be there can affect what you are creating. Thus, I had to keep reviewing my code and try to make my program work. This process helped me to be persistent and patient with a problem.
