Codeacademy is a wonderful tool for learning how to code. I completed three of their courses- Learn HTML, Learn CCS, and Make A Website.

In Learn HTML, I learned the basics of coding. I had heard about this format before but I had no experience with it before this course.

In CSS, I learned about formatting HTML elements. I had never heard of CSS before so this was entirely new to me. I didn’t know that there was a whole separate system for formatting but I like that it is on a different page. It makes reading the codes much easier because you can focus on one element at a time instead of having it all grouped together in one large wall of code.

The Make A Website course contained a lot of review from the Learn HTML and Learn CSS courses, but I enjoyed the refresher.

Below are screenshots of my progress:
