How I Taught Myself to Code (NLHTML5 Meetup)

Back in 2002 I went to college and studied architecture. During my career as an architect I worked in Amsterdam, Vienna and Frankfurt. I saw some of my projects built. It was fun!

Yet in 2013 I turned my former professional life down to become a full-time web developer. These slides summarise how I taught myself to code and landed a job in tech, while sharing some of the tricks I learned on the way.
