And so it begins....

Things are changing at Sassy Dumplings.  Not that there was much going on here, really. Well the post frequency is definitely going to increase. I am going to blog about my journey of going from a noob (newbie) to a professional web developer.

It's a big step to leave my job at the big High Tech Company. The significant other is stressed over the future reduction in the income stream. And the near future doesn't make him feel better as I will probably be getting paid as a junior developer rather than a senior program manager once I'm done.

But I want to be happy. I am tired of feeling my technical skills are obsolete. It's time to reboot.  It's time to become Sassy Dumpling 2.0.  I am attending the Web Development Immersive training class at General Assembly in May.

Go check it out.  About 50 hours of pre-work and 12 weeks of study. Then you can intern for another 3 months (at intern wages) and keep learning your craft.   6 months and you've changed careers, sweet.  All this without the student loans,  midterms,  finals and listening to boring lectures about soon to be obsolete technology.

More on why I decided to do this tomorrow....
