The Re-cap
Hi all
I am The Greedy Coder.
I call myself this because I want to learn any
and everything but never finish first. You may get this, so I wanted to create
a blog to show how I coped with never finishing anything.
I hope that this blog makes me finish everything.
I have suspected ADHD so that might contribute to it, its mad hard
to get a diagnosis and expensive but ill pull the trigger soon. Im trying to
avoid using that as an excuse and power through because I have to make it professionally.
Brief history:
- Wanted to do websites at 27.
Moved to Madrid and instead got caught up in the party scene.
- Came back a year later and
started to do IT for schools for 3 years.
- Got another job in 1 school
doing IT, but I was exposed to CBT Nuggets where I started learning
everything I could. This was Networking, CCNA, Backups, Server and
domain builds, Virtualisation, remote admin, Wireless systems, and HTML
with a dash of CSS.
- I dabbled in JavaScript too
but didn’t feel like I got anywhere.
- I eventually left at 38 and
started to do freelance IT work while also studying random new languages.
- The first language I started
to code in like I said was JavaScript so I tried again but I couldn't get
it.
- I next did Python that felt
so easy. I did a few online classes, went through most of the studying to
advanced level, made a game withe some libraries, but it was all cookie
cutter stuff. I wasn’t retaining anything.
- During this time I took on Django to create websites with databases, Sql, Tkinter, Docker, did more websites with Bootstrap, and even a bit of project management with learned Prince 2.
- Then I found C# at aged 42
- Everything felt natural and I made a load of mini console based programs.
- I started a bootcamp 2 days a week course, and this is where we are today.
