Intro: Hey everybody and welcome to another episode of How I Built It! We are back to our regularly scheduled episodes! I hope you enjoyed the mini series. Today, I get to talk to my friend Beth Soderberg about how she learned web development.

Sponsors: This season of How I Built It is brought to you by two fantastic sponsors. The first is Liquid Web. If you’re running a membership site, an eonline course, or even a real estate site on word press, you’ve likely already discovered many hosts that have optimized their platforms for a logged out experience, where they cash everything.
