Hi! I'm Marcus, a self-taught Programmer!

My first introduction to Programming was in highschool. I wanted to try something different other than art. Didn't go so well. Though, I've always been curious as to how things work, which has always stuck with me. Later in my College years, I remember discovering the browser inspector tool wondering what all that code was! I was interested in learning to code, but, I couldn't find a good guide.

Fast foward many years, I built my own PC, later studied for the A+, then learned to use the command line, that led me back to web development. It was the connection of writing HTML and CSS and visually seeing the immediate output that had me hooked!

After learning the basics, many sources say to start building projects. And it's true! That's where Frontend Mentor comes in. It's the best community for learning frontend development! I have learned so much with each challenge and help from the community. I'm amazed at how far I've come along after beginning my first challenge and it was very challenging then!

I'm currently learning a modular front-end workflow with Webpack. It's really awesome! You can spin up a local development server, bundle assets, use PostCSS, and much more. I've been building other projects from Scrimba and my own side projects too. My next goal is to get a job as a Front-end Developer.
