That question led to hours of googling, which led to courses on edX and Codeacademy, which finally led to my enrollment at Nashville Software School.6 min

- Michael Clark - Web DevelopmentMichael Clark graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 38.I have spent my life in the pursuit of creation. Musical, photographic and experiential.
