Iā€™ve already gone through the basics of HTML, CSS and managed to finish Dasmotoā€™s Arts & Crafts project yesterday. And thatā€™s after 10 days instead of 30. I think I got really carried away :sweat_smile:
My goal for the remaining 20 days is to deepen my knowledge of what I passed and get to Fundamentals of Web Design and pass it.

Hello everyone, i plan to code 30 min everyday for the coming 30 days #letsdoit! #community

Hello, 39 year old career shifter. I live in South Florida. I have no experience what so ever. I have been in sales, marketing, and account management for the last 20 years of my career. I am unemployed/freelancing right now. I wanted to make the most use of this time that I am not working a 9-5 to change my path. I did not think I would be so interested in code. I just wanted to work in an industry that had the most growth and the most income potential. I learned that i can satisfy the creative side of my brain.
I am currently learning HTML, CSS, Java and my focus is Front End. I am interested in UX, Cybersecurity, App creation, Data Science, and Data Analyst. I am consuming so much content and immersing myself in the culture of it all. Self-teaching can be very isolating and i know i need a community in this industry.
Thanks for reading. Reach out if you want. I would love to connect to with like-minded people.

heyHey!

I am a 42 year old career shifter (at least thinking about it). I live in Knoxville, TN. I work in the field of research of sustainable architecture (the building kind). Long story why I am shifting but I am optimistic to see where this journey will take me!

I dabbled in some front-end dev pre-covid with some other students but that was interrupted. Feels like I wasted 2020-21 and I am finally back! I missed it so much. Starting fresh; currently on the front-end eng. path (~8%).

Morning from Norway :slight_smile:

Iā€™m 32 and working on getting a career shift after 7 years working in sales at an electronics chain :crossed_fingers:

Trying to learn as much Java as possible before Wednesday as I have an interview for a job that will include a 3 month intensive program in Java and a guaranteed full time job as a junior programmer when I fininsh the 12 weeks training. I donā€™t have the time or finances for a 3 year study at the local university so I think this is a good way to learn and get experience.

After the first interview last week they said what was working the most against me was that I had no prior knowledge of programming at all, and so didnā€™t know really what I was getting myself into. So Iā€™ve been working on getting through the Java Beginner course so I know a bit what it is about :smiley:

Hi everyone,

Iā€™m 42 and have learned the basics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I am currently building an application to support my work as a life balance coach. My short term goal (next 30 days) is to program, code, and learn for 1-3 hours every day in order to build a better foundation for my understanding of each of the forementioned languages. In 6 months, I want to have a foundation for backend development and to have completed my first site using these tools. Wishing everyone, the best of luck on their journeys!! :pray:t5: :pray:t5:

I just finished my 30-day challenge today :tada:
The habit of programming every day did not weigh me down.
Sometimes I was able to devote half an hour a day, sometimes 3-4 hours.
I was able not to skip a single day and fully achieved my goal. :dart:
During this time, the front-end career path was 18% complete, which is 8 full sections.
I will try to work at the same tempo continuing on :woman_technologist:t2:

I have a pretty simple goal, but it is harder.

I just want my normal life back. I had a group of friends, we were all happy. But they replaced me now. I am all alone. Working to become a programmer and have a job. I want to learn Game Developement, and probably work for a big company. I have started a few weeks ago. Quited smoking, no fap, started running everyday, hit the gym, read, learn code and so on. Itā€™s hard but I believe that is possible.

Keep on everyone!

Iā€™m sorry to hear that youā€™re all alone. I went through the same sort of thing with one of my friends. Good luck on your programming and I hope you do get a job in Game Development.

Personally, I have a lot of goals. Running a country as large as The Poonited Pates of Pamerica can be difficult. Fortunately, I have a lot of methods that allow me to make this job a lot easier. Coffee, toilet breaks, and robots all help me manage my stress. My current goal is to get reelected as president in 2055. Almost there! Vote Boe! #Jiden2055

Iā€™ve just finished my 30 day-challenge. I wasnā€™t as hard as I thought it would be. Maybe thatā€™s because I enjoy coding. I would like to double it now. I plan on completing my computer science career path then moving on to the next one all while attending school. Itā€™s easier for me to devote a good amount of time into this because I donā€™t have too many obligations. My end goal is to find a software developer job once Iā€™ve completed my first career path.

Iā€™m a 40 year old IT sales professional who is seeking to understand how everything that Iā€™ve been selling for over a decade works. I have a couple of projects in mind that Iā€™d like to develop. Currently, Iā€™m finishing a web project based on Spring Boot and Java, that I built for the company that I work for, and has been well received, so Iā€™m encouraged.

Currently enrolled in full-stack path.

Hello! I am currently pursuing the Full Stack Engineer career path and have an overall goal of changing careers from cybersecurity to web or software development. My goal for the next 30 days is to reach or exceed 25% path completion.

Hi there. Itā€™s gonna be long and boring, just skip this.

Thatā€™s the first time I am thinking of a goal with programming, but letā€™s make a first sketch and some introspection.

I am ashamed of having waited for so long, at first because I was is a not stimulating environment, working as a mechanic, then I finally started studying english two years ago. Last years I focused on learning Dutch, so that I can try to integrate in society where I am living now.

3 months ago I threw myself into a course ā€˜introduction to programmingā€™ with the university of Toronto. A great course, wery well explained and at the right speed. I loved it, I loved playing with python because it makes so much sense, I mean itā€™s logic, itā€™s complex and jet so easy to understand and use. It gave me a great satisfaction. It opened a door and made me hungry for more.

What is my goal? What do I want to do with it?
I guess in the short term mastering python,
In the middle term learning other related subjects,
In the long term making the step at work from production to engineering.

I regret having waited untill now, I am 24, to start strudying. But I also know that I wasnā€™t ready before. I had to do a long path before reaching this beginning.
