Hi, everyone. Just wanted to share my story. I-m currently almost 13 years old. It all started about a year ago, when I was getting bored of quarantine and looking to learn something new. It was then I found out about programming. I did a little research and decided to start learning HTML. I learned from a tutorial on a website, but barely practiced and had a hard time. I decided to quit. When I started 7th grade, I got offered by my school to learn to code at a boot camp. At first, I hesitated. I wasn-t sure if coding was for me. I decided to give it another try and to go to the boot camp. At the boot camp, we started learning the basics of C and I started to enjoy programming. I would make all sorts of projects and show them to my family. After learning C for several months, the boot camp moved on to Python, which I-m currently still learning. I enjoy coding in Python even more than coding in C because I can make cooler projects in Python more easily than in C. It is currently summer vacation, so I have time to watch tutorials, learn from websites and read books about programming. I forgot to mention that most of what I know wasn-t taught by the boot camp. I learned it by myself by watching tutorials on YouTube and searching on Google. My advice for any self taught developer is to practice a lot

Before programming I was in 3rd grade. I didn't start programming until I was 10 in 4th grade and that just came from an obsession of wanting to know more about how my moms desktop pc worked, learning you could create these things that would run on it, then taking a life-long obsession to want to know more so that I could do that myself. It's really weird for me to see others already older and established doing other things before switching over to programming but I think that's amazing and I wish everyone wonderful luck on their new endeavor. Being older and established means it's a higher risk to switch jobs like that, it takes a lot of confidence and risk. But I hope everyone gets to be in life where it makes them happy.

I worked on the dock doing back breaking labor in the heat and in the cold. I taught myself to program and now I am a full stack web developer at the same company. I have seen people come in with degrees in CS with a background knowledge of programming that couldn't develop. Development is demanding and requires constant learning to stay relevant. You have to be able to go into work and be willing to use your brain to work. This sounds glamorous, but it means you're going to have a lot of days going home with your brain feeling burned out. You have to understand that you are going to encounter problems that you can't solve, but somehow figure out a way to solve it anyway and with time constraints.

Freecodecamp is great .. But you need to get a graduate degree first on how to use this website...And get ready to start putting all your 24 hours for 5 years to get a junior developer job. And no one will tell you this truth until you ralize it yourself. All you are watching here and there on why you should become a programmer are actually landing pages... They want you to just get into this nothing else. it doesnt matter to them whether it is worth it or not..

I had the same concept on programming that you have to be a MATH GENIUS and went into teaching after high school whilst being hopeless that I'd never learn to code. I faced my fear last year and attended coding bootcamp just so I could learn and yup, my view on coding has changed. It's about being able to understand problem and how you would go about solving it.

I feel like becoming a self taught programmer is a great -2nd career-. It does not matter if you are a high school drop out, or you have an MBA and you want to start your own business. If you have a computer, an internet connection, you can start coding. And if you cannot find a company to hire you , make apps on your own.

HOT TIP : Before attempting code or programming language - TRY MASTERING THE BASICS OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION. When you are NOT speaking your native language - it helps communication if you don't speed through your spiel...it all sounds like fkn gibberish; even the captioning has effed off.

Look. We are ALL self taught.
If you go to school the teacher and the litterature is your source butYOU still have to make sure YOU understand it.
Now the difference is that the teacher is in -online-format- and you will have to learn it on different hours.
OFC it can be done.
