Not long ago, Saadika was working in retail. "My weekends were never my own," Saadika says. "I would be off when everyone else was working and my son had to attend school." Her husband was a programmer, and Saadika was fascinated by his work—so she signed up for Codecademy. Fitting in her studies during lunch breaks, she soon learned the basics of web development.

| How learning front-end transformed my career |
| |
| Not long ago, Saadika was working in retail. "My weekends were never my own," Saadika says. "I would be off when everyone else was working and my son had to attend school." |
| |
| Her husband was a programmer, and Saadika was fascinated by his work—so she signed up for Codecademy. Fitting in her studies during lunch breaks, she soon learned the basics of web development. |
| |
| "It was fascinating how easy it became to build something using code," she says. |
| |
| Saadika's coding skills landed her an internship, and then a full-time job as a front-end developer at Man Made Media. She still uses Codecademy to pick up new coding skills. |
| |
| "Anyone can start coding and be great at it if they stick to it," says Saadika. "Coding is a unique talent that anyone can learn—so take the opportunity to learn it." |
