Hi, my name is Hillary and here are some bits of advice for you!

Don't give up!

This is brand new! Be proud of yourself that you are attempting to learn something new and step outside of your comfort zone. Learning to code is like learning a new language except you already know all the words. It is ok if you don't understand everything immediately and it is ok if you step away for a bit. Take some time, mull things over, try a second (third or forth) time, then come back and try again.

Do your best!

Do the best you can! This is a learning process - these things take time. It is ok if it isn't perfect but give it your best shot.

Ask for help

It is ok if you don't know everything - you're still learning! Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Google is a great resource for information as are the people at Skillcrush - they are terrific and tremendously helpful.
