My first experience with code dates back to a time when you had to know something about MS-DOS commands in order to play simple video games on a PC. Since then I went on to explore other horizons and I hold a Masters degree in International Relations. However, through some professional projects that involved Wordpress management and customization I rediscovered my interest for technology and software development. I decided to start learning the web stack and to gradually transition into a career as a software developer. Now I want you to hire me to help you build amazing web based tools that add value to your company and solve problems for your clients.
For most of my development I rely on a windows machine with Visual Studio Code and Git Bash. The linux flavor I use on my secondary machine is Linux Mint.
My go-to hosting providers are Digital Ocean (VPS) and Versio.
For learning Javascript I recommend the open source Modern Javascript Tutorial and the book written by Marijn Haverbeke: Eloquent Javascript: A modern introduction to programming.
To discover new front-end design tricks I follow the Youtube channels of Gary Simon (Coursera) and Kevin Powell.
For computer science related video's I highly recommend the Computerphile channel while Coding Tech will keep you up-to-date with tech conferences from all around the world.
