Are you greener than Kermit the Frog when it comes to HTML and Website Design?

No worries, we all started somewhere. Just to give a little background on myself, I personally am completely self taught.

I can honestly say that I have never bought ONE single book on coding and that I’ve only ever attended one half of one night school class in regard to anything computer related. (I left at the mid time break because I thought the professor was an idiot and was absolutely certain that I knew more code than he did, LOL).

I actually started this path in 1995. I worked as a factory worker in a joint that made Vitamins and Supplements.

One of the guys that I worked with had a computer and had been toying with his own personal home page, which he had shown me.

I was simply in awe. To me it was magic. This guy was truly gifted in my eyes.

So I was pretty crushed when I asked him to teach me some stuff and his response was really stunning. I remember his exact words. He looked me right in the eye and said that he didn’t think I was smart enough to pick up on it.

I was floored.

And then I was mad.

And I went home and told my wife that we were going to buy a computer.

To keep a long story short, I started learning how to code by simply viewing the sourcecode of random websites. I would cut little pieces of code out of them and paste them into my little demo version of coffee cup html editor, just to see what that piece of code did.

Within a year I was building sites on a commercial level.

Within two I had quit my regular job and was working as a website designer full time at home.

I can now code in several platforms, and have personally built thousands of websites.

And I owe it all to a guy by the name of Jeff who I worked with so long ago at that vitamin factory.

Thanks Jeff.
