My journey from a Progate student to a professional web developer
Progate was where it all began. As a college student, I discovered this platform that offered a fully equipped coding environment to get started with programming. With its 9 courses and 36 lessons, I took my first steps into the world of web development.
The original version of this website was created during those early days. It was simple, straightforward, and reflected my beginner's understanding of HTML and CSS.
"Progate is a web service where you can learn programming online. We offer you a fully equipped coding environment to get you started."
Since those early Progate days, I've grown significantly as a developer. What began as simple HTML and CSS experiments has evolved into a deeper understanding of modern web development practices, frameworks, and performance optimization.
Today, I work on more complex projects, implement responsive designs, and focus on creating accessible, performant websites. This modernized version of my original Progate site demonstrates that growth - maintaining the spirit of the original while implementing better practices.
My journey represents the ongoing nature of learning in this field - there's always something new to discover, a better way to implement something, or a more efficient solution to a problem.
