Another first timer. Looking forward to everything, but "Accessibility is not a mystery" jumped out as a particularly strong title.

👋🏼 Chris, I'm a first timer too and not really sure what to expect ... looking forward to it and hoping to connect with other learners to encourage each other 😃 Would love to follow you on Twitter, I'm @katfay_ Accessibility is such an important topic. I think the last few years has shown us that if tech is not designed with diverse needs in mind from the start - it can be a life damaging/threatening (just thinking of how apps and comms were not initially tailored older or culturally diverse audiences who needed them here in Melbourne, Aus, during the pandemic).

As someone new to coding and learning HTML, CSS, & JavaScript to design more engaging & inclusive online courses, “Accessibility in Design” and “Teaching through Code Reviews” are the two webinars that pique my interest.

omg this is so exciting!

I am looking forward to all of them too.

But can I "cheat" and say the "talk" I'm most interested in is hearing from with newer coders and hearing their stories and their passion for coding. It is so exciting to me to hear folks' journeys into tech, what's on their minds, and what they are looking forward to.

This is my first time attending CodeLand. To be honest, I'm excited by all the intriguing talks lined-up, especially the ones under the Theme 'Healthy Coding' but if I HAD to choose one I'd say "Celibrate you're misteaks" because it gets an extra point for the punny title 😉

The talk in🌈CodeLand 2022

Thrilled and excited😊🤗 to experience all of them.

But hardly I'll pick one talk among them which is Design Systems for Developers By KATHRYN GRAYSON NANZ.

There's no one special reason. However, as we all are devs, we always build up or design variance kinda systems for others to make their life better or easier.
But not for us...?!?

So let's stay blessed & hear more systems for Developers🍻.

Glad to have the community like dev.to & codenewbie.org.😉 Hats off 💃 to the @codenewbiestaff + @dev.tostaff team.

I've attended a few other online tech conferences before, but I'm really enjoying this - maybe my favourite! I'm really loving using Discord, so I can chat and really interact with other people. This is keeping me so engaged and not feeling alone. I like that there are other people just getting started in tech.
Oops, misread the question! I'm excited for Ramon's talk, because I took his JavaScript bootcamp. It's also on Open Source, which if read about, but am still unsure how to get involved.

I don't have anyone I'm on edge to hear from, more that I want to see everything I can.

I attended last year, but this year I knew about it way in advance.

The Chat function.

I'm attending this year because as soon as I heard about it, I was instantly excited.

I wouldn't say I have a side project, per se. I've been learning on-and-off at Team Treehouse and Pluralsight. I just wish I had the opportunity where I could just go from month to month without having to freeze my Team Treehouse account because I can't pay for it that month, or this month, honestly. I suppose a side project I was successful at, however, was completing #100DaysOfCode through Team Treehouse in 2018.

A cool thing I learned is that I know more than I thought I would at this point. That there is more accessiblity than there was when I started, well and truly, on my Livejournal in 2004. I still have it and it taught me a ton about HTML/CSS and I love that others learned the same way.

A way I stay motivated is to not allow myself to think about getting started. Sitting down at my computer at eleven o'clock at night and just doing some programming until two am is really enjoyable for me.

I'm learning a whole bunch of things. The key for me is to find ways to stay excited because the loss of motivation for myself starts with not listening to myself. I've gone back to tweets from two days ago and found exactly what the problem was already expressed about how I need to type along with the stream. I can't seem to understand everything if I do it differently. I instantly get my motivation back.

The last thing that blew my mind was when I realized that I'd learned how to hack and was a hacker. That started because I was really tired of being hacked and had to figure out how to keep it from happening in the first place.

Realizing that someone WROTE different sites in the formats I've seen is universally awesome. Like the Montana Meth Project. I realized, 'someone wrote this!'.

I know I still want to be a forensic pathologist, but I want to work in a job that doesn't feel physically tortured at the end of a workday with pain in my back and legs.

Professionally, I've learned that people lie. Businesses lie. I'd tell myself to look for jobs that aren't secretly for neurotypicals and the managers aren't going to hop, skip, and jump right over your resume because they don't actually have to TELL you that's why they aren't hiring or re-hiring you.

The memory of writing a webpage AT ALL making me extremely nervous. Like, when I would stumble across an insanely awesome Livejournal where the stylesheet was SO COOL. I would always wonder 'HOW DID THEY DO THAT?' I don't think that anymore.

Tauri's Faves for Codeland 2022

Ok I didn't do that much whittling down, but I have a top 3 for each day!

Thursday

  1. The Shared Responsibility of Tech Ethics with Erin Mikail Staples
  2. How I Tracked My Pregnancy with Python & Emojis with Hannah Hazi
  3. Lighting Talk Building Your “Accomplishment Journal”: with Matt Van Itallie and Sema Software

Friday

  1. Open Toolbox: Design Systems for Developers with Kathryn Grayson Nanz
  2. Accessibility in Design with Bethany Jepchumba
  3. Inclusive Web Development with Clifford Ouma

I am a queer, Latinx, neurodivergent coder and my fiancee is a disabled veteran so Accessability and Inclusivity really matter to me! I care a lot about ethics and read a lot of sci-fi to inform my thoughts. {:
I love data and tech applied to our complicated and social and biological lives so I'm really fascinated by using Python to track pregnancy!
