Hello everyone. My name is Tristan and I'm boxfresh to Treehouse and am taking the FullStack JS program. I really like a metalic turquoise but this was very difficult to approximate via hex color codes, so the closest I could find is: 6FD8D9.

I've worked in 23 countries around the world and my last gig was with the UN based in Germany. I'm back in Canada now and just started my own consulting business. I love the mountains and all things that grow especially trees and plants. I'm also into painting Warhammer, playing strategy games, English tea, baking, and watching movies that are so bad they are amazing.

I just got my level 1 Beekeeping Certificate, and decided to take the FS JS course to diversify my skillset. My LI page is - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristan-cole/

Looking forward to connecting with you as the course progresses.

Hey Treehouse community. My name is Joey. I am a recent graduate of the JavaScript Full Stack TechDegree. I am currently working on some solo portfolio projects and job hunting. Here is my LinkedIn, I would love to connect with any other coders.

My favorite hex color right now might be this dark turquoise color. #2d9d92.

turquoise block

I will link to my current portfolio where you can check out the React and Node.js projects I've been working on lately.

My hobbies outside of coding are watching or playing sports or various outdoor activities. I also enjoy cooking and eating good food, watching good entertainment and just hanging out.

Hi there, I'm Sara and I'm a new FEWD student! I just moved from Austin, TX where I was studying game development for a couple of years, but then fell in love with web development so I've decided to make this my new career move!

My favorite hex code is #60a9ff https://www.colorhexa.com/60a9ff

I'm currently working on a mock travel site for my Animal Crossing island - it's been a great motivator to learn new CSS/HTML, as well as design! https://twitter.com/princessbutcher/status/1380293061754896386?s=20

I have a couple of other projects you can check out on my LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-masek-5887b4128/

My hobbies include gaming, binge-watching interior design shows, cooking, exercise/yoga, and finding new thrift/antique stores :)

Here's a link to literally the best tikka masala I've ever made/eaten if anyone's interested https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/239867/chef-johns-chicken-tikka-masala/

Greetings Sara! I agree, Animal Crossing is a great motivator. Designing my island has been my favorite part of the game and seeing what other people create and share is so inspiring. I checked out your link and wow! Your travel island project is amazing! Basing projects on the things we enjoy and love really helps to keep us moving forward.

Hello Everyone

I am Daniel. I am a Senior Software Developer at a Company in Denmark where I work in a "core" team that develops central systems, automation of internal workflows with Powershell, central component that is shared(Made in .NET/C#) between departments, build systems, Azure component development, automated deployment(CI/CD), Research of new Technology and Arkitektur. In other words; we are nerds that love learning new technology, write a lot and push the limits. That also means we work too many hours...

I don't have anything fancy to show as everything is in the back, which is one of the reasons I have signed up for a JS full-stack tech degree. I wish to be able to work on projects that also have some sort of visual layer and the company I work for just decided to use React. I didn't have much time to study the last few months, but next week is time to pushing.

I love meeting new people, and especially people who wish to create new projects. I am looking into starting a private project that could either become something fun to work on or a project that could become a company. Apart from being addicted to learning... I love playing games when I need to relax or traveling with my girlfriend.

I love the color #D82B00

Looking forward to connecting with you

Hi Daniel, you have some impressive set of skills. All the best with your JS journey.

Hi! I'm Key and I am new to coding. I've been working on HTML, CSS and Javascript but I am about to start Java as a part of a Android developer program that I am thoroughly enjoying. I love all forms of purple so I chose a lavender for my color #E6E6FA. I love to supplement what I am learning here with various sources and LinkedIn learning is one of my favorites (other than W3Schools and StackOverflow, we can't live without those!). Here is a nice real life example of for loops that I thought was neat! https://www.linkedin.com/learning-login/share?forceAccount=false&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Flearning%2Fprogramming-foundations-real-world-examples%3Ftrk%3Dshare_ent_url%26shareId%3DFs2EGQ61TrC%252F85nTIB5G4A%253D%253D

I am always happy to connect on LinkedIn, feel free to inbox me there if you want to chat. https://www.linkedin.com/in/keyarafleece/

Greetings from sunny Florida! I'm Erika and I am on the FEWD journey. I started a little over a month ago. I am working towards changing my career from librarian to FEWD. I am pressing my way through Unit 2 of the program and currently learning CSS, and doing the 100 Days of Code challenge. One of my favorite colors is gray (or is it grey?) so #778899 looked awesome to me today. I have a variety of hobbies that I enjoy besides learning new things. I enjoy running, yoga, spending time with my dog Jubilee (you can see her pretty face in my profile picture), reading (my favorite genres are Sci-Fi, Fantasy and manga), helping out at my church, playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, watching Disney movies, coloring, and building LEGO sets. I also enjoy listening to motivational speakers to help keep me going. I'm currently listening to Eric Thomas, Inky Johnson, Les Brown and Team Fearless. This is my LinkedIn and Twitter. Nice to meet you all and thank you for sharing your stories!

My favorite hex color code is #7ACD27

I'm Sarah. I'm an academic at heart. A habitual student learning and improving my metacognition. Also, I am interested in improving my understanding of computer science. Data structures and algorithms across multiple programming languages enthralls me.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/sametxa/

I am currently working on my first project which is building a portfolio website of all current and future projects. See my linkedin profile for more information.

I'm so thrilled to start sharing more of myself and documenting my journey with all of you.

For the longest time I've had the wrong perceptions on math. I had a math phobia. In the past I dislike math only because I had poor self image in my own abilities to master mathematics and I didn't have the motivation or support from my peers to enable me to be confident in mastering it.

Now my perception has changed. I like that doing math problems creates new neural pathways and expands cognitive capabilities in the brain.

I love the learning process and find joy in the challenge of it.

Hey Treehousers! My name is Mel and I am a Student Success Specialist for the Python TechDegree :) My favorite color is right around hex color code: #ff7a5c Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn :) I am currently working on expanding my Python knowledge as well as working on an RPG made with C# and Unity in my free time. Now that the weather is nice, I love being outdoors! Kayaking, hiking, biking, camping, and tubing are my favorite.

I look forward to hearing about what you all are working on and enjoy doing in your free time :)

Hi Mel, just wanted to say I'm so impressed you're working on an RPG in Unity - I worked with Unity for a couple of years in college and it was always so confusing for me since there's so many components that have to fit together! Even the small-scope games we worked on would always have bugs that seemed impossible to work through. Kudos and good luck!
