So Kyle turned to YouTube and devoured countless tutorials. He fell in love with CSS, drawn to the creativity + logic combo.

He immediately switched his college major to computer engineering, but college didn't teach modern web development; they were still using tech from the 90s!.

Kyle was a self-described introvert who loved maths & guitar. Then, during a one-week robotics class in his senior year of high school, he discovered programming. And everything changed.

Kyle Cook (@DevSimplified ) didn’t grow up coding. He didn’t even know what programming was until high school. But today he teaches millions how to build for the web. Here’s his story 🧵.

Kyle Cooke didn't plan on becoming a YouTuber, let alone one of the most trusted names in web development. But a one-week coding class during high school changed his life. Here's how @DevSimplified built a business teaching devs around the world. 👇👀.
