His passion to learn coding actually encouraged Tamanna, to introduce a Computer Training Course on HTML & CSS for Devesh and for other interested students at Tamana. As he completed his introductory course, Devesh also showed a keen interest in working on images, editing them & embedding them on his website. Considering his interest and work with these images, his instructor introduced him to Adobe Photoshop.
