After a long holiday in the Caribbean and… Read More →

Honestly, it was kind of a problem and I might have looked fairly psycho to anyone who flicked through a notebook of mine as Iā€™d test a new one out every two weeks.

Here we are, entry three of the ā€˜Dear Developersā€™ series and so far Iā€™ve explained why Iā€™m learning to code, asked my stupid questions and have done the first basic few lines of code which are building the first page of my website.
