Coding in Public
👋 Hi! My name is Chris Pennington 👋 I’m a relative beginner to development and enjoy teaching what I’m learning to others. I mostly teach beginner to intermediate web dev on the channel through project and component builds. Coding in public gives us all the chance to learn together. I’m a learner first and an expert never. Have a suggestion? Leave a comment! We’re all learners and we all learn better when we code together!
