Many times in the semester I had these awesome ideas of features I&#8217;d like to implement into my websites, layouts that were exciting, and much more. Due to my lack of knowledge in a lot of these instances, I felt discouraged. Although I felt discouraged, I knew deep down that I had to be patient with myself and have fun, but I didn&#8217;t do much about it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I reflected a lot about the fact that if I wasn&#8217;t making continuous mistakes, I wouldn\u2019t have learned as much as I did. I think I\u2019ve found that making continuous mistakes is one of the best learning methods not only for many things in life, but especially for coding.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While trying to refresh my memory from the past semester, I found that the website Interneting Is Hard along with basic tutorials on HTML and CSS from YouTube have been extremely helpful. I also found last semester that following website build videos from various developers on YouTube in my free time helped me to better understand the way that code can be constructed efficiently.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019m looking forward to having a different outlook this semester\u2014not of frustration and discouragement from not being good at coding, but of open-mindedness, excitement to learn new things, and a willingness to be vulnerable in making mistakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a bit over a month since I last coded something.
