I started out college thinking I would graduate as a social worker. Two years later, when I recieved my certification in Computer Programming and Web Design, I looked back and laughed.
I then realized that just because I know languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and more, didn't mean I knew how to create a website.
It took a while, but I worked on my skills until I was confident that I could produce an entire website from the bottom up.
So I did! I was hired to create a website for a small business. It was amazing. I was able to use my skills and have fun, doing what I enjoyed and getting paid for it, too!(Check it out - eyetraveldoc.com!)
My next opportunity was a front-end makeover to an existing website. Check out My Hebrew Dates! I got to work with the Django framework, which was new to me. That was a great learning experience.
Now I am looking foward to moving foward. As I await my next project, I am having fun building projects for myself (check out Little Things In Life) and keeping my knowledge up-to-date.
