Hi everyone! I wanted to interrupt my episodes and take a step back to just share what my current job-situation is like and what my goals are in the future, just because I want to share more in-depth episodes about the job application process and post-bootcamp life, but also wanted to share what I'm up to these days career-wise... especially since I'm giving away much unsolicited advice surrounding this whole coding topic :)

In this episode, I breaking down different note-taking methods, tips, and tricks for when you're learning to code. Whether you're just getting started with HTML/CSS/Javascript or getting onto more advanced topics like Node or other frameworks such as React/Angular/Vue, you'll want to listen in for some good tips on taking notes when learning new programming skills.
