Now I’m in the Wordpress Developer Blueprint and I’m in the last month of that. I started in September with the Web Design Blueprint and I completed it at the end of November. Which Blueprints have you taken on Skillcrush? The whole program with Skillcrush is a complete package – it’s fantastic. I’ll probably use their tutorials to practice and brush up on my skills once I finished the Blueprints, but they didn’t have the same level of interactivity that Skillcrush offers with the videos and the interaction with the instructors and the classmates on MightyBell.
Those were really good simple tutorials, but I was looking for something more interactive. When I Googled “web design program tailored to women” I found Codecademy and Dash. I got to play in design and be creative and actually created a pretty cool finished product.ĭid you start learning web design and development with Skillcrush or did you use other resources before? Last year, I volunteered with my church in a technical arts committee and designed slides and keynotes for them and I really loved that. I started getting more interested how that interest translated to websites why somebody would want to hire a business that had a more attractive, user-friendly website than another and how I could get involved in creating more attractive websites. I had always been interested in product packaging and understanding why a consumer wants to buy one product over another. I wanted a career that was creative and that fit my logical skillset- web design offers a lot of that. What prompted you to look into web design and web development? Now that my kids are a little bit older, I wanted to figure out what I wanted to do with my career and I became interested in web design. I held some administrative and counseling jobs, then for the last 10 years I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, raising my children. My education background is in counseling psychology I earned an MA in counseling about 16 years ago.
What were you up to before you started the Skillcrush Blueprints? Now having completed the Skillcrush Web Development Blueprint, and in the middle of the Wordpress Developer Blueprint, Christine tells us about the benefits of using MightyBell to form a community with other students, Skillcrush’s unique online model, and her goals for using her newfound developer skills. She became interested in web design and development as a creative pursuit, and Christine found Skillcrush when she searched for coding programs tailored to women. Christine Oskison had a degree in counseling psychology before taking on the role of stay-at-home mom to raise her children outside of Philadelphia.
