A Cup of Code Podcast

In this episode, I’m going to review one of my favorite coding books entitled, Beginning Node.js, Express & MongoDB Development by Greg Lim. This book helped me understand how Node.js and Express work together and how to connect a MongoDB database to a project. Since this book is quite detailed and I will be coding along with the book, this episode will be Part 1 of 2 of my book review…so settle in, grab a cup of your favorite tea or coffee and let’s get started!

In this episode, I’d like to talk a bit about how to stay motivated while learning to code. I know that learning to code might seem like a daunting or overwhelming task at first. Or you might even feel like you don’t know where to start. But please know that there is help and it will get easier with time, practice, patience and persistence! Staying motivated while learning to code will help you stay steady on the path of reaching your goals and keep you true to the reason you started learning to code in the first place.

Here in this special bonus episode, before we kick off Season 2, I want to talk about something that has been on my heart for awhile…harassment and abuse in the workplace.

But before we get started, If you are suffering today, I want you to know that there are people out there who really care, who have devoted their lives and resources to helping many in abusive circumstances. So today just for you, I’ll be sharing some tips and resources on where you can find help if you are a woman who is facing abuse or harassment.
