Just a few weeks ago, I didn’t know how to write a single line of code. I had no idea what <div> meant or how websites were even built. Today, I’m proud to say I’m confident using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
My journey started with total confusion. I opened VS Code for the first time and stared at a blank screen, not knowing what to type. I kept Googling terms like “what is HTML?” and “how do websites work?”
HTML was the first language I learned. It was like learning the skeleton of a website. I started creating basic pages with headings, paragraphs, and links. Seeing my content appear in the browser felt like magic.
Once I understood structure, I wanted to make it look better. That’s where CSS came in. I learned how to style pages, center content, change colors, and make things responsive. Suddenly, websites started to look like real websites.
Then came JavaScript — the real game-changer. It was hard at first, but I kept at it. I learned how to use addEventListener, update the DOM, fetch data, and build full projects like my own Virtual Art Gallery.
This is just the beginning. I plan to keep learning more JavaScript, dive into frameworks like React, and keep building cool things. If you’re just starting, trust me — you’ll get it. One line at a time.
