Hi, my name is Stuart. I am a qualified jeweller, looking to broaden my skillset. I am planning on setting up a design studio.
I appreciate Codecademy, and it’s availability. As yetI hadn’t been aware that Codecademy had meetups, however I think I would enjoy the experience. I am hoping to learn how to get examples of my effort up on the web, and I look forward to having a worthwhile tale to tell of my experience with my new endeavour.

I’m Luckymmabanga,
Man of many missions (my take on “Jack of all trades”).
I started learning Web Development because it’s straight forward and practical versus C++ the first language I learnt or rather attempted (lack of practical understanding to create :’( ), then Python but same issue 
but BOOM here we are and HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap are in the bag! so now I’m learning JavaScript in order to build websites with more than just face value and to hopefully gain more understating so that I can get better at my other intended disciplines #NeverGiveUp
I use CodeAcademy BECAUSE IT IS FREE and because it was a more comprehensive and practical learning tool than other resources available
I have a martial coding belt in: HTML + CSS (Through freecodecamp BUT I will refresh my knowledge using CodeAcademy) and SQL (Because everybody wants their own server and database even if they don’t know what either is). I will take Python in future because developing software for hardware is apart of my current goals.
Nope, South Africa from where I hail is a technologically savvy country hence my presence here, but the social community in regard to coding is still developing in regard to marketing and reach, but I will once I have the skill backed confidence or start my own.
Do you have any examples of work that you have done using the skills you learned at Codecademy? Not yet 
Focus, Persistence, an outlet (because smashing your computer because your code won’t work is not a solution), and a GOAL!
Woot WOOT! Git coding and git gud peeps

Well, I Am a 14 year old Kid named Amadeus, Sadly at the moment I don’t have an industry or profession regarding coding, except a little HTML,CSS knowledge. Well Im just want to learn coding because I Really think coding seems amazing because I know if you know the right coding languages then you can do whatever your heart desires. Well I don’t anything else to compare it to but ill get back to myself about that. Well I want to perfect HTML and CSS but I want to Learn Python,Java,Java Script and may more but I don’t know if you have them on here. I want to learn C# but one step a a time. I have not been to any meet ups I just got into coding 4 hours ago. I do not have any examples of this at the moment but I’m hoping in the next couple days ill have something to show.

My name is Muhammad Zaim bin Azhar Ahmad.
I am a student, currently on my day off. I am a computer engineering student. I have been coding since my second upper form (14 years old) and the next year I made a code which got approved in a third-party coding community (AlliedModders). That is when I thought on getting more serious about coding and programming.
Even though I took computer engineering however the lecturers are bad in teaching coding and I can even recall when nearly the whole class are just messed up with coding and take the risk of cheating for both during projects and exams. Thank God, with my basic understanding of the coding concept and that save me the struggle part. I am able to score the subject with an A.
I am planning to use my knowledge for the community, I want to learn more and teach the youngster of my country (Malaysia) regarding coding and their importance in future industries. I want to make changes with what I am good at, I am planning to make a free web-development course when I have done making some websites on my own.
I chose Codeacademy because I want to get myself into coding communities, I want to share my knowledge and problem with a group of people. I love to have discussion about coding.
I took C and C++ courses back then during both semester 2 and 3 during my Diploma years. Currently, learning PHP, HTML, and CSS on my own with page and video tutorials.
No, I haven’t been on any meetup or event.
No, I haven’t start anything yet. I just registered for the past 15 minutes.
No, not yet. I will try to create one.
Cheers,
Zaim.

Hello everybody, my name is Gustavo Acebedo, I have a degree in Business and mostly I have worked in the textile and apparel industry. I am very interested to learn coding, not just because I would like to use it for my own work but to offer to my future clients an added value of our services as a company. I am now using Codecademy because I found it in the internet (just an hour ago) and it sounded interesting, I really hope to learn a lot from Codecademy and its community.

Hey everyone!
I’m Jamil. Im 22 years old, and live in Michigan. I recently graduated from Michigan State University as a pre-med student. Since I was 13, It was always instilled in my mind that I was going to be a doctor. I was closed off to anything else and heavily influenced by my parents and community. I spent this past year applying to med school and not once have I had any excitement for the journey or career. My mind sent a bunch of red flags, but I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I felt stuck.
I’ve always been into technology and gaming. I’ve heard about coding for awhile now, but never really looked into it. The more I researched, the more that I realized I definitely want a career in tech! I decided to run with it. I look forward to learning code.
Wish me luck!

Hi my name is Cole, I recently Graduated from CSU East Bay with a Biology degree. Science wasn’t my first choice and I grew up loving video games so I’m checking Code Academy out to see if I would enjoy something new. I’m hoping to find a career related job with my current degree but if this leads me down another path then its worth a shot.
