Hey Fam! I'm Nicole! I am on a journey to becoming a self-taught Freelance Developer. I started this channel to show that learning to code is possible for anyone and to encourage more women and people of color to start learning hard skills like coding and get into tech! On this channel you will find my stories of being a black woman navigating the tech industry, starting my own tech freelance business and learning new coding skills. I will be sharing all of the systems, strategies and resources that I am using to grow and a developer and freelancer. I would love for you to join me!

I am about five months in. I started coding and web designing....so far so good! I love to see more melanated women in this type of field.

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Love it! I do the same, Web design + dev. It's been fun so far. How did you learn? or continue to learn?

[@moeky1luv]

@@nicoleyoungtech By reading certain books, downloading programming apps on my phone, watching web developers and designers tutorials on youTube, taking courses on Udemy, etc just... a bunch of DAILY practicing.

[@lucindajenkins8693]

@@moeky1luv can you please tell me the apps that you used?

[@silksong7277]

Yes, same! Good luck coding! I see this comment is 2 years old, did you manage to find an opportunity? However, no pressure. I know learning to code can be a long term commitment especially if you have a full time job. But wishing you all the success!

[@silksong7277]

Hi, I am learning web development! Thank you for this video. Just needed a motivation video before I start my studying today.

[@deeperthantech]

We appreciate your passion for giving free tips and guides to all, especially black women in tech. Keep it up. 😍

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Absolutely that is why I'm here🖤🤟🏾

GIRLL. I needed this. Thank you so much.

Aww yayy! So happy to hear that!

[@tanagrant6252]

Thank you. Thinking about it.

[@nicoleyoungtech]

No problem!

[@ATLOreo]

I love your content! Keep sharing and thank you for being such a light and motivation for me to continue learning.

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Thank you! Will do! It means so much that I can be even a small part of your journey!

[@allie8848]

I've been thinking about making the career switch and learn more about coding/programming and I feel like finding your channel today and binge watching a bunch of your videos is a sign 😅 Thank you so much for these videos, I am a huge fan already!

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Omg don't make me cry! So happy that you found them and are getting some kind of value out of them! I say that if it's been something that you have been thinking about GO FOR IT! The sooner you start the sooner you can make that switch!

[@allie8848]

@@nicoleyoungtech Thank you, Nicole! I've already found an awesome website (Dash by General Assembly) that provides free HTML coding lessons and I already LOVE IT!!! I am not sure about what path to take in terms of education, but I think this will come with time and networking (another thing I'm going to have to start!). Thank you again for these videos, they are so helpful & also very nice to see a woman's perspective :)

[@violetsainte-x547]

Love your videos. Thank you so much for making them and sharing your knowledge. You make it feel way more accessible! Just started Python and it’s challenging, but you bring a ton of hope!! Haha

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Glad you like them! and I so happy to hear that ! Keep at it! Python is tough but SO worth it.

[@MsBlackIntrovert]

I’m taking the Google IT Support Specialist course now and the section on coding now has me interested in software programming

[@nicoleyoungtech]

That's awesome how are you liking the program, I've heard a lot about it! Let me know if you need any help getting started!

[@MsBlackIntrovert]

nicole . young it is has taught me a couple of new things , there’s a section for building computers that actually taught me how to build a computer! There is some sections that require further learning outside of the course. Thank you for responding! If you offer any courses I would definitely take it after I am finished as I want to learn more about coding 😊

[@Athleteforeverr]

Im late to the party but I sub’d to your channel. Thank you for all the info & insight. Im at the beginning of my journey of breaking into tech

[@WebDevCody]

What's your process of finding projects / work as a freelance?

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Right now it's been 100% through word of mouth within my family/friends and other connections. Hoping to start using other sources and launching it officially soon.

[@ashlynthomas-smith2445]

Hey 👋 girl , hey sis ! Lol 😝 have you heard of the career karma app? Just found out about it and it’s pretty interesting 🤔! Thanks for sharing another great video 🖤. These are actually all the reasons I made the switch to tech this year too lol. My favorite emoji is 👩🏽‍💻

[@TimeisUp22]

Career Karma is the best app for newbie techs. It really helps me take the leap with so many people just like me who can answer all your questions. Make sure you watch there KZbin videos too.

[@nicoleyoungtech]

YES I joined it earlier this year or at the end of last year. I think the concept is great but only helpful if you want to join a bootcamp (only a certain type of bootcamp). I decided to stop using it because it felt like they were only giving you one choice and that was to join one of the limited list of bootcamps that they had partnerships with. Anyway, that is also my favorite emoji!!!

[@nicoleyoungtech]

I definitely think its a great place to find community and get questions answered when you are just getting started. I felt like it was pressuring me to join an expensive bootcamp, though, so I stopped using it after a while. What was your experience like?

[@TimeisUp22]

nicole . young I actually think your observation is 100% correct. I didn’t think of it that way. I actually joined specifically because I wanted to join a bootcamp, and needed to learn more about them before I signed up. I wasn’t really thinking about taking a different path. There is a group within the app title “broke on a budget.” It’s about 60 people in that group and they tend to sight resources on how to learn to code for free, but I wasn’t interested in that group. I wanted a bootcamp that catered to beginners. If someone wants to take a different route then maybe a different app will help.

[@ashlynthomas-smith2445]

nicole . young yes, I’ve noticed that as well! 🧐 nonetheless I’m glad you know about it too! I

[@_TruckerBae]

Georgia Tech has a 12-24 week bootcamp I’m definitely considering investing that 10k. 💕✨

[@nicoleyoungtech]

I've heard their program is really good! Did you end up going for it?

[@trickstercoyote1709]

yes trying too

Love it! Good luck!

Hi, do you participate in game development? and if so I could use a lot of help.

[@Art-sk4wb]

How long did it take you to leave your 9-5 once you started getting into coding? I’ve always been good with computers, so I kinda wanna try my hand in this

[@nicoleyoungtech]

I actually didn't quit because I started to code, although it was super helpful having already started to learn because it gave me something to fall back on. I believe there was probably about 6-9months in between me being introduced to code and then quitting but the two things were unrelated. I would definitely recommend trying to learn if you are into computers already

One of my favorites as well lol

[@yusefsheltondafirst]

So how can I pay for your services ??

[@nicoleyoungtech]

Hopefully after my current venture (fullstack bootcamp) I will be able to come up with services that can help!

[@xoxovicky101]

Do you mentor as well? 🥺

[@nicoleyoungtech]

I've considered doing so once I'm done with bootcamp. I will definitely let the community know if and when that happens
