Coding Tips

I’ve been coding since I was 8 years old. Here are a few tips I’d like to share. Learn by doing. I've found the best way to learn a new skill is to apply it to a project.

Welcome to My New Blog

Hey guys, welcome to my new blog. I haven't written a blog post in a while, but I'm going to start writing here more frequently. You may remember my first blog post 3 years ago: "Why I Like Coding as a 12 Year Old". I will link that at the bottom.
