About
This has been taken offline periodically. I had a page at one time with a curriculum list from some programming school I considered applying to and never did.
Standard programmer wisdom is if you want to learn to code, have a project. I've long wanted my own clothing line and recent posts here are tagged NovemberWestWears, same as the name of the blog where I am developing those business ideas for a clothing line: November West Wears. The pieces here are the tech part of what is intended to be an online only store for custom fit clothing.
In the course of doing this website, I learned that I already have some coding essentials because I'm a longtime blogger who studied HTML and CSS and hand coded my sites before ultimately moving to blogger where HTML and CSS still come in handy without being a big burden, so I still code a little bit very regularly.
I also have a Certificate in GIS and have spent more time on Hacker News than probably any other woman on the planet given that I appear to be the only woman to have ever spent time on the leaderboard.
I've done it twice under two different handles and if all that karma were under one handle, I would be somewhat high on the leaderboard instead of bottom of the barrel.
Granted, last I looked, I was bottom of the barrel in spite of no longer participating. Getting there at all takes substantial karma.
