Hi! My name’s BenStack or Ben, and my goal with these streams is twofold:
1) Learn and improve my development skills live
2) Engage with my community to discuss various CS and non-CS related topics as well as help each other out with learning and professional growth

I’ve tried learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript a few times in the past, but I was very rusty. Rather than jumping ahead and getting lost and discouraged, I started from absolute zero to build a rock-solid foundation.

I’ve used The Odin Project as a general guide my learning, beginning with the fundamentals (basic HTML/CSS), eventually working my way up toward full stack technologies where I am today.

If you’re looking for motivation, someone who codes or develops software as a hobby, or just wants to study alongside someone, feel free to hang out or work with me! It’s great to have you! :)
