Hi there! This is a blog that focuses on software development and is geared toward newer developers. It is run by me, Lauren Stephenson (@CompSciLauren on social media).

I'm most likely to write about React, JavaScript, UI/UX design, open source, and tips for newer developers.

If you have any questions or would like to see a specific topic covered, feel free to send me a message. Happy coding!
