My First Day Of Learning To Code

After much ado and with the help of my friend, I finally found it within me.

I clicked on the ‘Start this course’ button.

I can’t express how scared I was to take this step, and boy, am I glad that I did.

After all, I was finally learning to code from scratch!

I started a free course called ‘Learn JavaScript’ on Codecademy.

Why JavaScript?

I chose JavaScript because it is the language of the web.

It is what most of the internet is coded in.

My Experience With Codecademy

This is my first experience with a learning-to-code platform, and I am pleasantly surprised.

The programming interface on Codecademy is very convenient, practical, and inspiring.

There is a ‘Learn’ section, that explains the different programming concepts with examples.

Another is the ‘Programming’ section where you code.

The output of your code is displayed on the ‘Terminal’ section.
