Franken-coding is one of the most fun ways to learn! Like you, my early knowledge of HTML, JS, and Perl came from finding neat features and figuring out how to modify them for my own totally cool '90s AOL webpage. I remember typing up a list of all the HTML tags I knew and printing it out for a friend so she could make a webpage too (and she did!). I discovered CSS when I was trying to understand how some sites had links that weren't underlined. Sounds so basic now, but at the time it was incredibly exciting.
