As a developer, learning is everything. 

Everyday, there is something new to learn. That's what make the job so interesting! 

What I've noticed, however, is that when you work at a big tech company or at any company for a while, you start getting rusty when it comes to code outside the company's orbit.

You can get wayyy too comfortable using the company's internal tools and get a little too snug with their unique way of building things. If you do this for years and don't have any outside projects... you can become really rusty. 

It can become a problem when you find yourself looking for a new job and realize you're out of practice. Ah!

I, personally, didn't want to get rusty and wanted my creative juices flowing again. I wanted to start from the beginning and wanted a reset. 


**How am I going to do this?** 

In the next couple of weeks, I will be doing the "Become a Front-End Web Developer" path on Linkedin Learning to solidify everything I've learned in my career so far. 

Do I remember the very basics? Let's see. 

I have always learned best from videos and doing projects with a little bit of guidance. 

**Here are the courses I will be completing:**
