Coding Challenges and Process

So far, this year in web design the biggest challenge I have faced would be on the very first assignment when I didn't even know what HTML meant. I had absolutely no idea what to do, despite having intricate explanations and a step by step tutorial to follow. After the first one or two projects though, I began to develop a basic understanding of how to code, with a lot of help of course. Now, I can do nearly all of each project completely on my own. I would definitely say that I overcame those challenges. Coding becomes much easier when you know what a "tag" is. 

I was most surprised by the fact that I wasn't very behind in relation to rest of the class. Naturally, there were several people who had a very advanced understanding in HTML and CSS but most of class had little to no experience which made me feel more welcome and comfortable. So far, my favorite thing about coding is simply being able to type seemingly nonsensical things into the computer but then ending up creating something that I never thought I could do. I have learned so much even just in this first quarter but nothing compares to the proud feeling I get when I can figure out what I did wrong and fix it all on my own. I can't choose a specific thing to further explore, as I would like to enhance my knowledge in everything we have covered so far. Although I found a lot of interest in using the hexadecimal code of a color to change the text color of my writing.
