With much appreciation, Michael… When I get to that point, I will look into learning what I need to know about html, css, javascript, and SQL.
I have been a life coaching now for 28 years (and super happy with it), although I was a computer software consultant before that. I’m not really thinking of getting back into web development for pay, just for fun for a project that I am designing for creating an “automated life coach”. Again, thank you! BIG SMILE...
