[Hidden-tech] How did you learn web programming?

Hello Evan,

Another great place to get advice from others in the field is the upcoming
New England Regional Developers (NERD) summit: https://nerdsummit.org/

Lots of networking opportunities, as well as workshops/lectures for a
variety of skill levels. I'm not a web dev (I work in L&D), but there are a
lot of transferable skills between the two fields (UI/UX, design,
analytics, etc.), so I go to keep up with trends. I thoroughly enjoyed the
conference last year.

(For the record, this is not a sponsored post--I do not represent any of
the companies sponsoring the event)

Best,
Renée
