Hi All,
I'm Kate, a 30-year-old from New Mexico with a liberal arts background. I'm going to code school in October (Deep Dive Coding Bootcamp, full stack dev) and am looking for tips and encouragement. I'm really excited about becoming a web designer, and my goal is to end up in UX.
I'm quitting my job as an executive assistant and don't have much savings. My feeling is, I'm still living paycheck-to-paycheck and I'll never dig myself out of $50k of undergrad loans if I don't change careers (I never wanted to be an EA anyway.) I'd love your feedback on what distinguishes the best recent code school grads from the simply competent, and any tips on the entry-level job search process are also welcome.
I'm just starting the book, "Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Web Graphics," by Jennifer Niederst Robbins, but am eager to know of other beginner-friendly resources.
Thanks everyone!
