It might sound cliche, but it’s definitely true – when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Three years ago, I found myself out of a job at a local university. After learning and teaching Russian for the past 10+ years, what was a girl to do?
Learn to code, of course!
My journey into coding began when making a guidebook for newcomers to my community. What started out as a many-paged document in PowerPoint quickly turned into a project using Publisher, which eventually found <em>itself</em> turning into an ebook… it was while trying to convert my file to an epub document that I first saw a strange combo of letters and symbols that I ultimately learned was HTML – the markup language which consists of the text that we read on websites.
