Heather's Advice For Newbies

Keep trying!

I don't remember another time in my life where I felt smart and dumb at the same time. It's kind of crazy, but you feel really dumb because you don't understand something, or you don't know why something isn't working, but then you figure it out and you feel pretty smart! Sometimes this could be because you truly didn't get something and now you do, or it could be because you forgot to add a ";" at the end of your code, or a "," in between words. Sometimes you might feel both smart and dumb when your code works, but you have know idea why!

The important part is to keep trying! I promise, you'll get it eventually. And if you feel dumb, you're in good company. From what I've experienced so far, this is going to be a feeling you have a LOT!
