Hello, World!

Hi friends, my name is Nkwadochi (pronounced ink-wah-doh-chi) and I am a web developer from Nigeria. Web development for me began as a hobby sometime in 2017 when I'd learned the basics of HTML and CSS in the University and would use the little knowledge I had to create awful looking sites from time to time - read as perhaps 3 times a year. I never thought much of it until July 2020. I began my journey to becoming a professional web developer on the 27th day of July 2020 and so far, it's been a beautiful, chaotic, and fulfilling journey. Before starting, I had spent the bulk of my time looking for websites and blogs that would help as a guide into this field in tech and while I found quite a lot that promised to hold my hand and guide me through, only a few were able to do this. The rest of them mostly repeated articles from a bunch of tech sites and played around with words, changing certain words to their synonyms and in general, it felt like even the writer didn't know what he/she was saying. Although I am nowhere near a professional, I have however improved in my knowledge of web development in the last two months and I am of the belief that no matter the stage of learning one finds themselves, there is always something valuable another person out there can learn from you and this has birthed this blog 'A beginner's guide to Web Development'. The goal of this blog is to answer most of the questions I had that made me spend months before deciding on where to begin learning and to document my journey so far, sharing whatever knowledge I gain along the way, code snippets, soft skills, navigating the industry, etc. I know that we can learn from each other and so I'll look forward to your inputs and feedbacks (constructive) and with time, perhaps host guest bloggers here also. I hope to share a post every Friday so look out for them. I'm open also to answering whatever questions you might have as long as I have some knowledge of the said question, else I may refer you to an article I found useful. Until next week Friday, stay safe, stay learning and improving yourself in every way that a person can. I leave you with the words of Denis Waitley.

"View life as a continuous learning experience."

Welcome, and thank you for joining me on this journey.

Nkwadochi.

PS-If you're as excited as I am about the potentials of this blog, kindly share among your friends and together, we can build a community.
