Hello and welcome fellow developer! 👋

This blog is the beginning of hopefully a great journey for me (re-)discovering web development.

I am a freelance web developer and for a long time I had a single (well paying) client, which was great but it didn't let me learn and apply all the things I really wanted to.

I did mostly old-fashioned PHP and jQuery development. I was able to build cool things, but I wanted to create things using more modern web tools available today and stay more up-to-date.

Therefore, I ended the dev relationship with my one client in order to learn recent web technologies and build cool things of my own for a few months, starting April 2019. (Don't worry, I ended on great terms with my client and I will continue to do some light consulting work for them).

I know, this is going to be a challenge, especially because I'm a bit behind some of the tech and because there is A LOT of ground I want to cover. Including, but not limited to:

• Getting practice with JavaScript OOP
• Brushing Brushing up my CSS + Animations + SASS
• Getting deeper into Vue.js
• Maybe peak into React
• Learning proper ES6
• Learn Node.js
• Learn TypeScript
• Learn how to use Babel properly
• Learn GraphQL

In this blog, I'll be posting about my progress and share things that might be interesting for fellow developers or aspiring developers.
