Thank you Si! I'd love to check out your site. I feel like I'm currently where you were during your first 6 months. Learning on your own definitely isn't easy, but I see people do it all the time....which also makes me feel like "What the hell is wrong with me??"

Of course - The site is CodeTips.

If you ever need to reach out to use you can find all of our social media on our Contact Us Page. There is also a link to our Slack group on there - so if you ever need a bit of advice/help, feel free to join there.

I'm usually around on that Slack group and Twitter, so if you need some "one to one" help - just reach out directly to me and we'll get you on the right track.

Lastly, and most importantly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Everybody learns at different paces but, if you stick with it, you will get to the same end goal - being a developer :-)

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I'm definitely not giving up, and will keep at it even when I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall....I'm determined to get this stuff down!

Thanks again for the site info! I'll be checking it out and likely reaching out as well.

Cheers!

Never give up

You can do this.

Every single one of us has been where you are now; thinking that we just aren't cut out for this job. We've all felt like quitting.

Persevere and you will make it.

One more time:

Never give up

You can do this.
