“The best way to learn to code? Start building something today. There’s only so much you can get out of reading and watching videos about these concepts without actually doing some coding yourself. Beyond that, your greatest asset will be loving what you’re learning. Learning to program is hard, but if you’re driven to work at it every day, to put what you’re learning into practice every chance you get, you’ll find the skills becoming second nature.”
At Flatiron School, students learn by building. Use your growing Javascript skills to form the beginnings of an impressive code portfolio that will help demonstrate your proficiency for coding.
