Learning software development so far has been both a challenge and rewarding experience. I’m a few weeks shy of my first 90 days and have learned so much! I’m currently working on Object Oriented Ruby -Metaprogramming and on the home stretch on starting my first portfolio project/final project for the section. I have to say that I’m excited and a bit nervous as to what to expect from the final project, but I’m confident that I will have the necessary support to help me through if and when I get stuck.
Before I dive into how and why I chose to start learning to code, I would like to step back and give you insight on the process which started everything. Being in the healthcare field for over 8 years, I’ve come to realize that I needed a change of pace when it came to my career. I learned alot working in healthcare and met some amazing people while mastering my professional skills but I needed something new something that would challenge me personally. I’ve always been an advocate for creating and learning new things, but I knew that I needed something that would take both of those qualities and turn it into a career that I would truly enjoy: software development.
