3 Reasons You Need to Learn How to Code
Once you know basic coding skills, the possibilities are endless. Seriously, coding can actually change your life. Whether you’re coding your own profile page, online portfolio, blog or heck, even a personalized wedding website, there’s no limit to your creativity. So how do you get started?
1. FOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN
Your brain loves a challenge. But instead of picking up a Sudoku book, try your hand at building a new website or online application. Just take our introduction to coding course to get started. Then, you can play around with existing code templates (there are a lot out there!) before moving on to your own custom development. You’ll definitely feel a sense of self-reliance and accomplishment when you learn how to build something with your hands on the web. And hey, you’re basically learning a new language. Programming language, that is. ;)
2. TURN A SIDE PROJECT INTO A REALITY
You can finally create a personalized blog, portfolio or website that’s designed completely by YOU. No more third-party templates that everyone else is using. It’ll take some work. There will be trial and error, and a little research here and there, but once you know the basic skills, you can work on building the wireframes and custom design for your site. If you’re looking to learn programming languages like HTML + CSS specifically, you’ll definitely want to take Allison’s classes.
3. LOOKS GREAT ON A RESUME
Coding is one of those skills that will always look good on your professional resume. Web development jobs are in high-demand, and a well-rounded portfolio of skills like coding will help push you to the top of the list with future employers.
