Newbie Coder Saying Hello, Asking for Tips

by desert87505 Sep 4, 2015 10:38AM PDT

Hi All,

I'm Kate, a 30-year-old woman with a liberal arts background. I'm going to code school in October and am looking for tips and encouragement. I'm really excited about becoming a web designer, and my goal is to end up in UX.

I'd love your feedback on what distinguishes the best recent code school grads from the simply competent, and any tips on the entry-level job search process are also welcome.

I'm just starting the book, "Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Web Graphics," by Jennifer Niederst Robbins, but am eager to know of other beginner-friendly resources.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Kate Welcome to the CNET forums!

Just so you know I will be moving your post to the Web Hosting, Design, & Coding forum which I think is much more appropriate for your question and more developers hang out there.

So by the time you read this, it will already have been moved!

Good luck and I hope you find the information you are looking for. Again welcome to the CNET forums!

Cheers,
-Lee
