That’s completely right! 50% of HTML will keep you up to speed with the rest of the course, but if you get ahead of us you’ll get some extra chill time later on.

Hi, I am Nicola from Italy. I am really happy to have started this course as I have very few notions in this field and would like to improve a lot . I don’t think web design will ever become my full day job, but I really do it for the pleasure to learn new things.
I have a question for Jessy: Is there a pdf/epub document which I could use to study, along with the web courses and the streams? I know. I am old school.

Hey everyone!
I’m Christina/Tish and I’m a children’s librarian by day and a crafter, reader, creative writer, and now coder by night. I enjoy learning new skills and finding fun ways to combine them all into projects.

I’m learning basic web development for a few reasons, including curiosity and a desire to build my own websites in order to organize personal information. I’d really like to create a website dedicated to all the concerts I attend where I can link photographs and videos, bootlegs, setlists, venue information, and more.

I’ve already completed the HTML portion of this course and had started on the CSS when I found out about the Bootcamp so I’ll probably be in and out the first few weeks refreshing myself on the HTML and then more active when we get into the CSS component.

PS: Did anyone else here first learn HTML from NeoPets in the late 90s?

Hi everyone, I hope you’re having an amazing day (or at least a great one)! I can’t wait to see how this community will grow, and I think it’s really amazing that we can learn together here.

I’m Nat, a freelance writer, not-yet-a-developer - although I love the suggestion from @jesslynnrose to call myself one right from the first line of code. Besides learning here, I’m doing several other IT/CS online programs right now (I admit to having problems with prioritization, and it’s all so cool and new and shiny!).

By the way, @jesslynnrose, I can’t think of a way in which to thank you that would be decently adequate to the amount of work you’re doing, so just thanks. Really. From the bottom of my heart. I wouldn’t be able to afford a bootcamp in a thousand years and now I’m a part of one! Also, you’re a fantastic instructor, plus your voice is so calming and all the things you direct to the newbies are a great antidote for an imposter syndrome. I got so fired up that I’m in Applied Visual Design already. :wink:

And hi @Archisha, I’m happy to meet you here. :slight_smile:

Hello All, I see the train almost left the platform :slight_smile:
My name is Cyprian and I’m hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa. I am a complete novice, so I really hope to gain as much knowledge as I can, and have lots of fun doing it. Looking forward to collaborative learning.

Thank you to all who have made this possible!

I’m so sorry that we don’t have one, but YouTube does make automatic transcripts, if reading what we’ve covered is helpful?

Yesssss, you’re a developer! A lot of folks have a hard time deciding on what to learn, I like to encourage folks to try to get through the basics and then try out a bunch of things to see what you like best.

Please don’t thank me, this is me being selfish! You all are letting me teach and hang out with you all, which is way better than what I could be doing.

You’re so far ahead! I’m going to be so excited to celebrate with you when you get your certificate!
