Emily Carter: nudges you Look! My kid made this meme of me! Isn't it hilarious?!
chuckles Oh, man, Em. That's quite the... unique achievement. A meme? You've been on TikTok?
laughs nervously Yeah, well, you know, trying to keep up with the times, right?
smirks Keeping up with the times, huh? I didn't know that involved memes and TikTok.
crosses her arms and smirks back Well, you know, keeping up with the times means being open to new things and having a little fun.
leans back Oh, really? So, what other "new" things have you been getting into, Em?
raises an eyebrow Well, you know, just the usual. Trying new recipes in the kitchen, practicing my yoga poses, and attempting to learn how to code.
chuckles Code, huh? That's a new one. You're full of surprises, Em. What's the plan there?
grins excitedly So, I've been hearing a lot about this coding thing, and how it's, like, super in-demand.
snickers In-demand, huh? And what, you're planning to cash in on that demand?
nods confidently Oh, absolutely!
smirks You always did have a knack for seizing opportunities, Em. Just remember, coding's not just about ones and zeroes. It's a language, a culture, a community.
leans forward, eyes sparkling Well, you know what they say, right? Language is the key to communication, and communication is the key to success!
laughs That's true, Em. But success often comes with its fair share of challenges too. How are you planning to handle those?
taps her fingers on the table, determined Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, don't worry.
leans back, grinning Alright, Em. Show me what you got.
pulls out her phone and opens a note Okay, so I've been researching online, and there are tons of free coding resources out there.
smirks Free resources, huh? You're always looking for a deal, Em. Let's see what you've found.
scrolls through her phone, pointing at different links Okay, so we've got Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, and Coursera.
leans back, crossing his arms Codecademy, huh? I've heard of them. They've got some good courses. But remember, practice makes perfect, Em. Can you handle that?
smirks confidently Handle it? Absolutely! I've always been a quick learner, remember?
laughs Quick learner, huh? I'll be the judge of that, Em. Show me what you can do with this coding stuff!
puts her phone down and stands up, determined Challenge accepted, Forest! Get ready to be impressed.
grins I'm waiting, Em. Show me what you've got!
grabs a nearby desk and starts setting it up Alright, first things first.
chuckles First things first, huh? What's the plan, Em?
starts connecting her laptop to the internet, focused Step one: Research popular coding languages.
leans back, smirking Coding languages, Em? You're diving right in deep. Which one are you picking?
types quickly on her laptop, determined Well, according to my research, the top coding languages right now are JavaScript, Python, and HTML/CSS.
smirks A well-rounded selection, Em. JavaScript for interactivity, Python for data analysis, and HTML/CSS for web development. You're covering all your bases. What's next?
grins, feeling proud Next, I'll start watching tutorials and online courses to get a better grasp on each language.
