Attribute Removal and Recursion

I am incredibly grateful for the invaluable learning experience I've gained through the MIT Course Coding for Women. This opportunity has been immensely rewarding, and I continue to learn and grow from it even now. One of my long-standing curiosities was understanding how to dynamically include content from an external HTML file into another. Developing this portfolio presented a technical challenge that allowed me to master this technique, along with many others.

A personal note

I lead a busy and fulfilling life, balancing the demands of family, work, and my passion for technology. My dedication to my family is unwavering, as I raise our four children and care for our beloved furry companions. This portfolio showcases my diverse talents and adaptability throughout my career. I have thrived in roles such as Network Operations Analyst and Web Analyst, and I am now embarking on an exciting journey to learn JavaScript. My expertise is constantly evolving and expanding. Alongside my full-time job, I also actively manage two successful businesses - KeyaTech and Water People Tours. I believe that my husband and I share an incredible work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit, qualities we strive to instill in our children. Life is a lifelong learning process, and I believe it's essential to be a driven and passionate individual. We must constantly challenge ourselves to grow and embrace new opportunities. The Professional Certificate in Coding: For Women at MIT Emeritus has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to learn and expand my skills, an experience I am truly grateful for.
