ABOUT ME

Hello Everyone,
My Name is Melissa Mugengano and am a Freshmen at davidson college.and If nothing changes I will major in Computer science.

WHY DIG-245

I've always had a passion for programming from a young age and developing softwares has been a hobby that can either bring me peace when every code is running or make me regret my life decisions when I don't find and debug that error.
Honestly,I am taking this course to broaden my knowledge because somehow I always end up studck on javascript I learned HTML and CSS but I am too scared to go through JS and Backend on my own.
Hopefully Dr.Owen will help with that😁
