An article about my career Hi! I want to start a blog on Medium about my career and my daily professional life, and for my first article, I wrote this: ** can someone help me on grammar and improvements? Thanks =) The path of a non-convectional Developer (part 1) --- I didn't know how to start this developer's blog or even doing it in English, which it isn't my first language. I'm a Brazilian girl, who graduated in Graphic Design. So, in my first years as a front developer I always thought that I will never be a ninja like most developers. And today, I'm still not a ninja, but courage and focus are my strength. In this 5 years as developer, I learned a lot about commitment and self-dedication. I'm in the web since I was 12 years old! I used to sell templates made with XHTML and CSS in FrontPage and later in Wordpress, crazy times! After that, my love for websites just grown, and since 2013 I'm a Front End Developer, wow! In the college, I didn't learn about programming logic, advanced math or compilers (?). My college was about UX, UI, Product Design, etc. I don't have the "gift" that most developers have to solve easily difficult logic problems... but I always have been determined to learn by myself, because since I was little I loved to do websites and blogs for other people. Back in time most of people in the web had a blog/site in Blogspot, Tumblr or Wordpress. I used to have a template shop, which the people did requests of templates and some graphic media! So, most of my adolescence, I was playing with XHTML (!!WOW!!), CSS and Macromedia Fireworks (old times, am I right?!!?), and was great! I really love them until today! I always excited to write HTML and CSS, they are my passion! The years have passed, and in 2012 I graduated in college and I was certain that I would work in some agency doing the UI/UX of websites. It did work for 1 year and a half, but then, I met the js in the company that I started to work, and my world changed! In college I learned ZERO js, so frustrated, I didn't have any base! I started study alone reading articles, buying books, watching videos and doing online courses. It was hard, as I said, I didn't have the "feeling" for programming that most software developers who graduated in Computer Science have... My husband is one of them, he helped me and taught me a lot. Actually, until today he still helps me in advanced programming logic and some crazy issues, haha! ... continue. --- I published the part 2 in my next notebook =) kisses!
