I wasn't awarded the scholarship at Coding House, but I think the opportunity I have in front of me now is exactly what I need. It feels, right. <br />MelTheTesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217757067869476891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493723067281804914.post-52566991169916744472016-09-10T08:16:28.010-05:002016-09-10T08:16:28.010-05:00I think this is fantastic Melissa!

I find that the rich just get richer analogy works with code too. Once someone knows one language at a minimum level, they are less scared to pick up the second one. And once they have picked up two to a basic level (especially if they are different types - http://www.cprogramming.com/langs.html), they are so much more prepared (and confident) to pick up whatever else is thrown their way.<br /><br />I think that the most empowering and valuable thing I ever did was get a web page up and running on heroku in a couple of hour workshop. I still had (and have) SO much to learn from server hosting to front end design and everything in between. But it proved to me that I could get something done and that the world didn't end when I got something wrong or left something less than perfect.<br /><br />Best of luck with CodingHouse, and I hope that with or without that program you pick a path and just run with it!A Bangserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527155338081375948noreply@blogger.com
