Hi, I'm Kira, and I'm teaching myself to code. I started by buying the book "Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming" by Eric Matthes and got about 70 pages before falling off the bandwagon. Not surprising since I do the same things with all my other hobbies. You can see this if you walk into my craft room and view the twenty different projects started and only half completed. But I was not giving up, so I switched to SQL. I know what you are thinking, and you are correct; I fell off after two weeks. I didn't even get to the 70-page mark in the book I bought. I purchased "Practical SQL: A Beginner's Guide to Storytelling with Data" by Anthony DeBarros and got nothing done. I switched once again and jumped onto YouTube to take a three-hour starter course on SQL and got about two hours in before I fell off again. See a pattern,yah, me too. I got distracted by promotion at work, but I'm back with a new plan a month later. I am going to learn HTML & CSS. I bought the book "HTML & CSS Quickstart Guide" by David DuRocher. Since you are reading this webpage, I wrote myself in Visual Studio Code; I can safely say I have made it to the point I can see the results of what I learned. Maybe that is what I needed to keep going—not being able to apply what I was practicing to my everyday life.
