How did you get into web development? MySpace? Comp sci? Made the jump from print? Bootcamp?

I switched classes in third grade, because of that I had to re-do some basic MS Office lessons. The teacher noticed I got bored of the repetition and introduced me to Flash. If I kept getting good grades for MS office, I could keep studying Flash.

I did not stay in web development after that. I did a lot of factory work and self study later on till a company gave me my first chance. Even so, this was my first introduction of dev stuff. And I believe that the graphic and animation side of flash is what made me fall in love with CSS later on

For sure, a lot of other people learned animation concepts with Flash and later moved to more code-focused tools. ☺️ For me, after learning Photoshop layers, HTML structure and CSS was much easier to understand (as it is layers of DOM elements on a page).
