Entry #10 Matrix

In this day and age where almost everything is on computers and technology advancements occur everyday, it becomes crucial that we educate ourselves to keep up. One of the best ways that you can do this is by learning how to code. 

While you may be thinking "this is irrelevant to me, why would I ever need this??" Consider the fact that even just having coding as a skill on your resume makes you a much better job applicant as it shows you are knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in society by means of technology. This makes you valuable to any company.

Most people are intimidated by coding, and honestly it does seem pretty intimidating at first, especially when you take into account that coding has its own languages. But once you get started you find that, at least at it's basic level, it is a very manageable and achievable skill.

There are tons of places you can find that will teach you what you need to know, but personally I have found a couple that I think are really your best bet to getting started in the right direction.

If you've never written a single line of code before you can check out one of these pages and just follow through their tutorials. It won't get super into it, but you'll get there eventually.

To start out with basic HTML and CSS coding I highly recommend checking out www.w3schools.com. They also have tutorials on Java, PHP, and even Bootstrap. But stick to HTML and CSS for beginning.

There's also www.codecademy.com and dash.generalassemb.ly/ which both also uses tutorials to teach you the basics on how to create your own webpage and manage through HTML.

TL;DR Learn how to code unless you want to become outdated
