Daily grind, Overthinking, and Resources

Welcome to all the new readers and followers! I'm so excited to have you on board.I know that learning to code can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. I've learned so much in the past few days and I'm loving every minute of it. One of the most important things I've learned is that it's okay to make mistakes. In fact, making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn. Don't be afraid to try new things and experiment with different code. Even if you don't get it right the first time, you'll be one step closer to understanding the concept(not to mention all the ways to do a single thing. The other important thing I've learned is that it's important to not overthink things... anyway here is how i solved yesterday's task. Yesterday, I was really struggling to figure out how to get the info from user input without using a button in the HTML. I tried a few different things, but nothing seemed to work. I had to use the number 1 too...

Scrimba, Unit Conversions, and Blog Updates

What's up, my fellow coding newbies! It's Ethan here, back with another blog post. Today, I continued working on my Scrimba course. I'm currently making a metric to imperial conversion app. The instructor is great and the code as you go format makes it easy to learn (and stick around). I also appreciate the fact that Scrimba has both class projects (solutions shown) and individual projects (bring out the google). This forces you to expand on what you think you know and to come up with your own solutions. My unit conversion app is coming along nicely, but I'm struggling with one thing in particular: getting the info from the user input without a button click listener. I'm still learning about event listeners, so this is a bit challenging for me. But I'm determined to figure it out!

or at least what CAN be! Hey there, and welcome to the first post of EthanDotLog! I'm a new developer who's still learning the ropes. I've always been fascinated by computers, and now I'm finally starting to learn how to make them do what I want - its kinda crazy! anyway -  I'm not sure where this blog is going to go just yet, but I plan on writing about a variety of topics, including coding, movies, games, and overall life. I'm still figuring out my voice, but I hope to create a fun and informative space where people can come to learn and share their own experiences. We can grow better TOGETHER! Oh, and I've got to mention my best friend, Dax. He's half Rottweiler, half Mastiff, he's the best dog a guy could ask for (although a bit goofy 😝) . He'll be making appearances on the blog from time to time when he isn't sleeping or destroying his toys, so be sure to keep an eye out for him! I'm excited to start this new adventure, and I hope ...
