Hello, world! 🌍 Welcome to my first-ever blog post! I am beyond excited to share with you the beginning of a new chapter in my life – my programming journey towards becoming a full-stack web developer. So, let's dive right into it!
It's always been a struggle to find a clear path towards my programming journey. Nonetheless, the interest to learn has always been there. My breakthrough started back in August last year when I stumbled upon a fantastic free online resource called "The Odin Project".
As a curious individual with a passion for technology and a desire to build things, I decided to give it a shot. Little did I know that this would be the catalyst for my newfound passion for web development.
Through "The Odin Project", I embarked on their fundamental course, which laid the groundwork and introduced me to the basic principles of web development. It was an eye-opening experience that sparked an insatiable hunger to dive deeper into this fascinating field.
Fast forward to June of this year, and I made a significant decision to take my journey to the next level by enrolling in an online bootcamp: Moringa School (moringaschool.com).
As a resident of Kenya, this bootcamp is renowned in the region for providing top-notch tech education. My goal is to get a comprehensive and practical understanding of what it takes to be a full-stack web developer, and I strongly believe that Moringa School will equip me with the skills and certifications to achieve just that.
Here I am now, in my first month of the bootcamp, ready to embrace the challenges, the ups and downs, and the triumphs that await me. Alongside this incredible opportunity, I've made another exciting decision – to document my entire journey in this blog.
So why document my programming journey, you might ask? Well, I have a few reasons in mind. Firstly, I want to keep a record of my progress, reflecting on how far I've come and the obstacles I've overcome. This documentation will serve as a testament to my growth and perseverance.
Secondly, I hope that this blog can inspire and help others who are considering a similar career path. If someone out there, like my past self, is unsure about diving into the world of programming, I want to show them that it's possible to start from scratch and make meaningful progress.
By sharing my experiences, I aim to break the misconception that a computer science degree is necessary to become a successful web developer. I believe that anyone with the right passion, dedication, and resources can achieve greatness in this field.
Throughout this blogging journey, I'll be sharing my insights, challenges, and achievements. I'll discuss the projects I work on, the technologies I learn, and the ways in which this journey shapes me as a person.
To all my readers, thank you for joining me on this adventure. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me. Together, we'll explore the vast world of web development, one line of code at a time.
Stay tuned for more updates, and until next time, happy coding! 🚀
