my progress with HTML/CSS 🙂
This is one of the practice excercises when you first start on CodeAcademy. You start with a blank page and then each step, the page on the right (the HTML code but in Plan Text) and then the page on the left shows what it looks like on a webpage. I wanted to show y’all the code that I made on CodeAcademy:

I am actually super proud of myself because I did that all in one sitting and no, HTML is not difficult and I am not bragging, but I’m just proud of myself for re-learning a skill that has since evolved. I am now realizing it’s just one programming language out of several that I want to learn, and I’m going to learn. Always start with the basics, you should learn HTML/CSS first, and then move on to something like Python. I made the mistake of trying to jump directly into a Coursera course that was “Introduction to Machine Learning”, which I’m sure everyone who took that course probably knew it required not only the program itself, but a proficient knowledge of Python, which I had neither. I was extremely upset because I spent $50 so that I could get the certificate of completion that you are able to put on your LinkedIn profile and on your résumé because it’s an actual accredited certification; there are currently no college majors that are strictly AI or artificial intelligence based such as a Majors in Deep learning, Machine learning, Computer Vision, & NLP (Natural Language Processing) which are the 4 main compenents of Artificial Intelligence.
the lesson that this has all taught me is that you have to WALK before you can run, or in other words, you cannot become a Data Scientist overnight. I get SO hyper-focused on things that peak my interest and sometimes have unreasonable expectations because I think my past experience with such and such will make me ready and able to complete the task (like the Coursera “Intro to Machine Learning” course I took that I was SO lost in😭). I now am doing really well with the tips and advice I received on Threads so thank y’all 🙏🏼
