Codecademy Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
A 31-year-old graphic designer began with HTML and CSS, then used those skills to make custom WordPress changes. She continued with a front-end program to expand what she could do in her existing role rather than treating coding as an all-or-nothing career switch.
INSIGHTS
Start with one repetitive or limiting task in your current job and learn the code needed to improve it. A small workplace project can give beginner lessons an immediate purpose.
