Hello world... the first bit of coding that every new programmer outputs at the beginning of their journey. It's only fitting that my first blog post is the same.

My name is A.J. - I'm currently a cybersecurity analyst and want to transition from this role into a development role. Unfortunately, I don't have much of an opportunity to write code at my current job, and so my skills have stagnated.

To remedy this I've enrolled myself back into college courses and have been working my way through all the pesky general education classes, and I'm finally coding consistently again! Last semester I relearned the basics of HTML and CSS, and in this semester I'm adding to those skills with JavaScript, as well as Java.

It's a lot of work, and my brain feels mushy at times - but my grades have been stellar so far, and I'm excited to see where this can take me.

I plan to use this blog to post the things that I'm working on in class, as well as my solutions. Join me on my journey to become a developer worth hiring!
