Skills:

Java was the primary language taught in my Associates Degree back in 2018. I've known it and gotten more comfortable with it. Most of my projects from home were made in java. From a deck of cards library, to dice rolling, and various other small projects. I understand the inner workings and capabilities of Java better than the other languages I know.

My first class with HTML was in 2018 with a networking class for my associates. I've seen a little bit of it before, but it was my first step into learning it. Since then, I've helped Biblical Foundations for Freedom(BFF) with their website, starting from a website template. Even with a template, there were a lot of changes that needed to get done. To integrate the Content Management System, I needed a new, much deeper understanding of HTML to make it work. I learned as I go, and still am learning.

I started CSS around the same time as HTML, but it's been rougher going. CSS was harder for me to grasp and really understand. Over time, however, I managed to start getting it. Along with HTML, web development with Biblical Foundations for Freedom helped me immensely with CSS. The website template is super messy and hard to understand, but it helped me grasp CSS like never before. Needing to make specific classes and such for things that needed to be changed was hard, but I believe it worked out in the end.

Javascript is still a bit of a challenge to me. The capabilities and syntax do throw me off compared to Java. They are different languages. Even so, there are similarities in techniques and similar lines of thinking for both Java and Javascript. Javascript is a skill I am trying my best to hone and work on, as such web apps are a work-in-progress, so I can get a better understanding of the language.

GIT has been in my mind since Highschool. I took a few python courses, and used GIT to submit homework. Since then, I've experimented with it, using it via console, via GIT app, and through the website. I do have a certificate that focused entirely on GIT, and have played with both Github and GitLabs, though primarily on GitHub. GIT is something I will continue to use to upload into my accounts as part of my portfolio, as projects get completed.

Since I first used Python in highschool, I enjoyed the ease of use when it came to python. I really enjoyed python from the start. It was fun. I remember I tried to write out a for-loop that cycled 12 times, so many if-then statements... I've come a long way since then. When I was taking a physics class, I wrote a program to solve different equations, with the correct decimal points and everything. I dabble in python every now and then, it's easy for me to pick it up again, after leaving it for a while.
