Learning to code, again. Now Front-End Development.
June 2021, Berlin
App in Development (June 2021)
Initial Wideframe Idea (March 2021)
Since February 2021, I have decided to start learning Front- End Development. For this reason, I have been introducing myself to HTML, CSS and Javascript. The plan is to continue connecting digital with physical experiences. For now, I can be happy that I can code a weather app and use real data with an API. Still a project on the development will be soon available for trying it out. :)
