RE: Today I Learned - How to Get Started as a Steemit Front-End Developer - Part 1
Kudos for taking the time to learn how to code. When you said:
The thing is that, as a marketer, it's tough to find a developer and not be afraid of him running away with it because you can't code.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I have a sales and marketing background and see ways to apply my knowledge to Steemit and have some ideas to go with it, but don't know much about coding beyond HTML that I learned building WordPress sites as you have too.
I think it's smart to begin as you said:
I'm going to get started with just building a page with different stats for my own account and learning how to interact with the Steem Blockchain in a beautiful graphic interface.
I would love to see your future progress once you "sink your teeth into it".
hahaha, so I'm not alone :-)
I will do my best to keep you in the loop and maybe help other not get lost in the meanderings of learning how to program for steemit. Cheers!
Perhaps you'll get really good at it and we can merge our skills into some new apps. You're on my radar and I'm wishing you the best.
I started using Code School a few years ago but stopped. It was fun how they gamified it. I was living in Cancun at the time and it was too tempting to go outside and hit the beach everyday as opposed to staying inside coding.
