Udemy Web Dev Course, Episode 1
10:45 AMI decided to take the summer off from school to intern and focus on preparing for Fall quarter. One way I've been doing that is by taking a Web Development course on Udemy. Part of my required curriculum at school is a Web class. After hearing stories of people leaving the class hating Web work because they felt rushed, I decided to front-load my learning as much as possible.
I'm not new to Web Development. I taught myself HTML and CSS in middle school so I could customize my MySpace profile (really), and my last internship involved full-stack development, with a mix of HTML, CSS, JS in the front, and C# and SQL in the back. I built a couple things from the ground up there, which was fun!
I wanted to learn more advanced JS tricks, as well as to un-rust myself and get back some web-related muscle memory. In addition, the Web Development I learned at my last internship was in the ASP.NET framework, and I wanted to expand my horizons beyond that realm ahead of learning it in school. I've always found Web to be enjoyable, so I've been having fun!
The course I selected is pretty comprehensive, so it starts from absolute beginner. Instead of skipping ahead, I've been working through each video and exercise. This is to get my brain used to regularly working with HTML and CSS again, but also to try to pick up a few new tricks, or things I may have missed self-teaching. So far, that strategy has been really effective.
