It all began with HTML early 2019, luckily the importance of semantic tags were made aware to me and I put best practise first learning HTML. The basics came quick but there is still advanced mark-up I am finding new to me which always keeps me interested in HTML.

Once I finished with HTML I got straight into Cascading Style Sheets and quickly saw how limitless you can be with creativity using CSS. It is by far my favourite 'language' to code and I love the relationship it forces you to develop with UI & UX in mind.

Javascript admittedly was a difficult language for me as I prefered using my creative side of the brain. With enough time spent using JS in projects however, I quickly became hooked with how much you can do (I really do believe you can achieve anything with JS!). I began with the basics like making clocks, calculators & password generators e.t.c. and then started to see how useful JS is for the DOM and interactivity.

I chose VUE.js as my first javascript framework due to how elegant the syntax looked and how it dealt with Single Page Application use. I also found the documentation to be amazingly wrote out and explained. I began learning and practising Vue in 2021 and I am now moving onto bigger projects with Vue and using some of it's amazing features such as router, slots, compositional API and of course add ons like Vuex!

Once I got comfortable with CSS I jumped on SASS. I have been using it almost since I started coding and it's been a great tool to learn. It's a great way to make CSS more dynamic and flexible. Whenever I can I use mixins, nesting and functions to optimise my workflow effeciency.

I chose Tailwind CSS as my CSS library because of how lightweight it is. I like writing my own CSS usually however I have used this tech on large scallable projects.

Most of my SQL experience has been learning on the job with ecommerce platforms. MySQL being the most used, I learnt how to formulate queries and understood the structure of tables, columns and rows. With enough experience I quickly learnt how to update, join and delete.

VS Code has been my main IDE since I started coding, I have become very efficient with the keybinds/hotkeys and the various popular extensions.

I have primarily used Git and Github for Version control and have become accustomed with the Git workflow and it's most useful features and commands.

Figma is great for me to help visualise web apps or to help clients visualise their wants and needs. I have experience in complete mock ups and storyboarding with Figma.
