My Philosophy, Mission and Goals
I am a self taught developer
who got into web development
early on out of need. At the time, i could not find anyone to build what I wanted built, so I taught myself to do it. Much later, with the advent of Bootcamps
and "Coding Schools"
, I went back to further my knowledge and skills.
My path
is not a traditional one. I have a background in Graphic Design
, Video
, and Digital Photography
. Now I build things for the Web
and teach others how to do the same. I also acquaint people
with their OS
, Git
, Command Line
, Digital Software
programs on macOS
, and show them how to effectively collaborate
remotely with others using those tools. If nothing else, the Pandemic
revealed the importance of being being able to communicate remotely with others using various forms of technology. And also the importance of some form of COMMUNITY
for all.
I have built
and taught
all things JavaScript
, HTML
, and CSS
.
I am passionate about all things Git
and Command Line
.
I feel it important that people
(or students
) become better acquainted with their operating systems
and understand how they work under
the hood
, and what better way than the Command Line
! In addition, Command Line
is essential for developers
working with a variety
of developer tools
.
I have taught
on two operating systems
. Windows
and macOS
. I work on both myself. I discovered that more and more of my students
were using Windows
, and I did not want to exclude that population
. I covered the Windows CMD Prompt
and PowerShell
, Git
, Node.js
and npm
. Everything macOS users
installed and useed, the Windows
users installed the equivalent of and used as well. This made the teaching
all inclusive.
I took a very hands on approach
, and believe in learning by doing. I am a strong proponent of the Maker Culture as regards Web Development
, and my goal was (and still is) to foster it in my teaching
and building
.
Since the onset
of COVID-19
, I began teaching seniors
about their computers
too. I have found senior students
CAN be very eager and quick to learn
.
Teaching
is great, but there is nothing like >building applications
, especially aspart
of ateam
, or helping othersfind solutions
to their technological issues, which are useful to them and contribute to bettering and/or makingtheir lives
simpler!
