Carl is 44, had a pretty hard time of it lately with some serious health problems and surgeries, which now limits him to remote work.
He has just been hired as remove Frontend React dev!
Thankfully, his health is on the mend and this marks the end of what he says was a very dark period in his life.
And whatβs really cool is that this is a family affair!!! His wife and daughter are also following his footsteps in becoming developers. Very cool!
Don't forget to check out our Scrimba student success page for more inspirational tales!

Declan has built a multi-step form using React! This is a fully functional and very well designed experience!
This is Declanβs first React project and itβs safe to say he did a fantastic job.

Scrimba Podcast ποΈ

Meet Amy Corson πΊπΈ! Amy is a recently hired new developer. Sheβs also an aspiring comedian! During the pandemic, she realized she was unhappy with her day job and decided to change it. So: this episode is both insightful and funny!
βIn this interview, Amy talks about learning to code and how her brother, also a self-taught developer, introduced her to Scrimba. Youβll learn about ghost buses, local coding meetups, and how help can come from the unlikeliest of places. Amy also teaches you how to pick a coding project youβre not going to give up on, even if it might give you food poisoning. Ultimately, you will hear how Amy approached both studying and applying for jobs, how she prepared for the job interview that landed her the job sheβs doing now, and why vague emails from recruiters are even more stressful when youβre in the mountains.

Live Code Fun π
Next week, Leanne and Michael will code a basic stopwatch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. By the end of the stream, you'll be able to code a stopwatch that starts, stops, resets and records laps!
This stopwatch can be used for timing anything from a race to the time it takes to cook a dish. Whether you're a web developer or not, this is a great stream to watch if you want to learn how to code a stopwatch!
We'll look at:
β±οΈ Starting the stopwatch
β±οΈ Stopping the stopwatch
