They say they can get anyone from zero to job ready.<\/p>\n<p>For a little more inspiration check out these two videos that helped push me towards getting serious:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nKIu9yen5nc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZUAg51kA42M\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you are interested in getting started, you can get <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=458121&#038;u=783394&#038;m=43811&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\">3-months free<\/a> when you sign up for a year of training via my affiliate link. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=458121&#038;u=783394&#038;m=43811&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\">Get 3-months FREE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just over a month ago I decided to start buckling down a bit and learn some more programming.
