Welcome to the Code Newby podcast.

We talk to people on their coding journey in hopes of helping you on yours.

I'm your host, Aran, and since Code Newby is doing a Learn in Public challenge this month,

today we're going to talk all about learning in public with GIFT Igunu, front-end developer,

and past Codeland speaker on the topic of learning in public with GIFT Igunu, front-end developer, and past Codeland speaker on the

topic of learning in public. In order for you to move from one position to another or just

stay relevant in the field, you always have to keep learning. GIF talks about why learning in

public is the fastest way to learn, what learning in public can look like for different people

and getting over the hurdle of the anxiety of putting yourself out there after this

thanks so much for being here thank you so much for having here thank you so much for being here.

Thank you so much for having me.

So where did your coding journey begin?

I have like a background in tech because I did computer science in my uni.

So I have a computer science in my uni.

So I have a computer science degree.

And even before that, I think earlier on in my life, I was very interested in Oldson's tech.

Computers was one of my favorites tools to play with.

But then I didn't really know so much about programming until, you know, I started doing my degree.

And what was it about coding that resonated with you that got you excited?

Every time I make something and I see it, you know, show up in the browser, it just

gives me some kind of excitement.

I feel like I can create anything.
