As a Learning & Development Coordinator, one of the most challenging questions is get asked is about computer skills. “Coco,” my colleagues will say, “I’m no good with computers.

100 Days of Coding: What I’ve Learned

Posted on by cococatani

I don’t believe in saving new year’s resolutions for the new year, so a few months ago I embarked on a little experiment. At the time I’d been learning how to code on and off for a while, but I felt I needed a bit of a push to take my learning to the next level.
