Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify, your phone, your car, the sliding doors at work, and the traffic lights you see daily while driving, all have code. Everything you interact with on the daily basis has to be coded and programmed to operate. With that said there are languages designed for human understanding and computer understanding. For the types it can be put into two categories: High-Level Programming Languages – This is the more human-oriented language. These are much easier to understand learn and interpret. It’s much more efficient with pre-programmed commands that function with fewer lines of code written. Some are PHP, Python, Perl, NodeJs, Basic, Java, Javascript, Ruby, and so on Low-Level Programming Languages – This is an 01000101 01111000 01100001 01101101 01110000 01101100 01100101. These are languages that are much harder to understand and are closer to binary. This is a language that gives more control over computer software. These languages usually will not have any pre-programmed commands. These are Machine code, Assembly C, C++. Furthermore. In the beginning, we’ll be focusing on what you’ll need for web and mobile development for the remaining of the 101 guides. There are several growth opportunities for developers and engineers, ranging from $60,000 to over $120,000 yearly. Listed below are a few common fields: Computer Programmers Computer Engineer Software App Developers Web Developers Front-End Developers Back-End Developers Full-Stack Developers Computer systems engineer Computer systems analyst Detailed information on pay ranges and responsibilities, can be found in the links listed under references. I am a Computer programmer. I specialize in full-stack development for websites, apps, and software. Meaning I create everything from the initial idea, and concept designs to the creation and deployment of the project. This platform https://www.kodoninja.com/ was created entirely by me “Emmanuel”. The app and full social network https://www.kodospace.com/ and affiliation extensions such as https://www.kodohealth.com/ and so on are coming soon. Everything you see, the design, including how the content loads and connects to the database and server were all designed and created from scratch. I tried to keep this platform as simple and lightweight as possible while including a light social network, blog entry, forum creation, and much more. As a Full-Stack developer and engineer the main languages I used were PHP, and Vanilla JavaScript that’s it. The main differences between the three front-end, back-end, and full-stack are that: Front-End – This is what the user interacts with known as the interface. They make sure content works great across all mobile and web platforms, and browsers. These languages will almost always include JavaScript, HTML, CSS. Html: This is the backbone of any platform. Every site you’ve visited including your phone has it. This allows for everything to be sectioned, viewed, structured, and displayed. This language needs CSS to look exactly how you want it. CSS: This is the styling of your platform. This is linked to your HTML pages and tells everything how to look. Here is where you’ll decide on the color, size of buttons, where buttons, pictures, etc. are located. JavaScript: This is how it all operates with and without user interaction. It can also send feedback and data to the server-side language to update, add or change data. This is also one of the most powerful and versatile languages which can be used for anything. Back-End – This is what the user doesn't interact with directly but is seen with the front-end. It is responsible for the performance, server-side functionality to store, load, view, and process data entries and calls. The languages can be Python, JavaScript, NodeJS, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Java, Rust, and so on. PHP: This is more of a scripting language primarily used for server-side communication. It’s one of the only languages that can be inserted directly into the HTML without any assistance, unlike Python. Information from the server-side can be called directly and inserted exactly where you need it to be. This language has been around a while influential in the creation of Facebook and millions of others so it has tons of information and resources to help you if you get stuck. Python: Has been growing in popularity being used in the biggest tech firms. It’s used in Nasa, SpaceX, Tesla, and many others. Its relatively powerful, lightweight, and easy to learn in the beginning stages of learning. Full-Stack – This one is the most complex of the 3. This is an engineer that works on both front and back-end development. In addition, they’ll be much more involved in web security. As you may have guessed from the above coding can be vast in its applications. There are many types of coding languages available. So it can get confusing narrowing them all down to the ones needed for the application your building. Learning to Code 102 will be walking you through a theoretical creation of a project. There we’ll look a little closer at the languages we’ll be using and how they’ll interact with one another. Conclusion Learning to code can be intimidating at first, however can become easier as you become more comfortable. As I’ll try my best to walk you through step by step in the coming additions. I’ll also have courses available on https://www.kodoacademy.com/ and https://www.udemy.com/ when it's complete. In addition, there are tons of information available in books and online. Although I went to college to learn a lot of this, I’m mostly self-taught through many many books, online forums, and YouTube. Speaking of college don’t think you need to be at an Ivy league or even go to college to get a coding job. They’re other methods such as certifications and courses you can try. These are https://www.udemy.com/ this one is my favorite and dozens of others can be found here https://mikkegoes.com/best-websites-to-learn-coding/.

Codementor. HackerEarth. W3Schools. Learn as much information as you can. I own hundreds and have read dozens of physical books on languages. I have read and worked with several books on the same language to further ensure I know the language. I also have received every free certification I could find regarding the languages I wanted and needed to learn. https://www.fullstackacademy.com/ This Is another good platform to learn as well as Google and Microsoft’s coding certifications. CSU offers a great intro program https://bootcamp.colostate.edu/ as well as Mit https://executive-ed.xpro.mit.edu/professional-certificate-coding?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=c&utm_term=mit%20programming%20certificate&utm_location=9031716&utm_campaign=B-365D_US_GG_SE_PCC_Brand&utm_content=MIT-Programming___School_Duration&gclid=CjwKCAiAyPyQBhB6EiwAFUuaktkquhrf8advnX7CE86HbUXDUS6gROU93-tg2NLNwO9cDUfr-Jy-KhoCqHoQAvD_BwE   This list goes on and on stay tuned for Learning to code 102.

Udemy is one of the largest online learning and teaching platforms available today. With nearly 196,000 courses, 68,000 instructors, and 712 million course enrollments. This platform has made its dent in history helping millions become better at their skillset. So let’s dive deeper into why taking courses from Udemy will be one of the best supplemental options for you and your career path. Udemy shouldn’t be the only weapon in your utility belt. But it should be the one that’s heavily leaned on. Regardless of whatever you learning in your field of study. You can be guaranteed that Udemy has many course options to choose from. For instance, let’s say you want to learn Python. If you enter Python in the search bar, you will see thousands of courses on that 1 language, 10,000 to be exact. That’s insane. Many of these courses offer valid certificates you can show your interviewer displaying your knowledge and skill set. If you are a fellow coder like me. I recommend that you have many real-world projects and applications in your arsenal. I’ve been building and selling real-world projects since High School. Since then I’ve built many real-world applications that can be seen anywhere. This very platform is a testament to my current skills, dedication, and appreciation for complex coding. Taking courses has helped me learn new skills adding to the complexity of this platform and others. I have a large portfolio of projects and so should you. Developers! Please build a complex platform or 2. This will show that you really know what you're doing. Employers love to see that you are building these applications outside of schoolwork and course assignments. Not into coding Udemy has you covered search anything you are almost guaranteed to find courses with certifications. Regardless take your passion to the real world. Create work to show your willingness and dedication outside of what everyone else is doing, Trying to get a job as a producer? Create a portfolio of music produced and created by you. Singer. Create an EP. Designer? create some designs, get a few of them made, modeled, promoted, and see if it sells. You get the jiff. Whatever... Go out there and create a few pieces of work. In addition to all that add some variety. Below I've listed a few other options for certifications and skillset Coursera Edex Skillshare Khan Academy Check out this blog it has a few other phenomenal options I haven't listed https://www.edapp.com/blog/udemy-alternatives/ Financials Let’s take a look at how this platform is doing as a company. To start Udemy has been a publicly traded company since October 29, 2021, raising 421 million in its initial IPO. The company brings in roughly 150 million annually. Its instructor's monthly earnings are anywhere from $200 - $20,000 monthly possibly more. Some have reported being making millions. Furthermore the current Stock price:UDMY(NASDAQ) $12.67 +0.64 (+5.32%) trading at $12.67 a share at this time of writing the post. Now that we know the company is profitable, how can this in return help you succeed? Udemy has courses ranging in the following topics and sub-topics. Let’s take a look at the categories: Development Web Development Data Science Mobile Development Programming Languages Game Development Database Design & Development Software Testing Software Engineering Software Development Tools No-Code Development Business Entrepreneurship Communication Management Sales Business Strategy Operations Project Management Business Law Business Analytics & Intelligence Human Resources Industry E-Commerce Media Real Estate Other Business Finance & Accounting Accounting & Bookkeeping Compliance Cryptocurrency & Blockchain Economics Finance Finance Cert & Exam Prep Financial Modeling & Analysis Investing & Trading Money Management Tools Taxes Other Finance & Accounting IT & Software IT Certifications Network & Security Hardware Operating Systems & Servers Other IT & Software Office Productivity Microsoft Apple Google SAP Oracle Other Office Productivity Personal Development Personal Transformation Personal Productivity Leadership Career Development Parenting & Relationships Happiness Esoteric Practices Religion & Spirituality Personal Brand Building Creativity Influence Self-Esteem & Confidence Stress Management Memory & Study Skills Motivation Other Personal Development Design Web Design Graphic Design & Illustration Design Tools User Experience Design Game Design 3D & Animation Fashion Design Architectural Design Interior Design Other Design Marketing Digital Marketing Search Engine Optimization Social Media Marketing Branding Marketing Fundamentals Marketing Analytics & Automation Public Relations Paid Advertising Video & Mobile Marketing Content Marketing Growth Hacking Affiliate Marketing Product Marketing Other Marketing Lifestyle Arts & Crafts Beauty & Makeup Esoteric Practices Food & Beverage Gaming Home Improvement & Gardening Pet Care & Training Travel Other Lifestyle Photography & Video Digital Photography Photography Portrait Photography Photography Tools Commercial Photography Video Design Other Photography & Video Health & Fitness Fitness General Health Sports Nutrition & Diet Yoga Mental Health Martial Arts & Self Defense Safety & First Aid Dance Meditation Other Health & Fitness Music Instruments Music Production Music Fundamentals Vocal Music Techniques Music Software Other Music Teaching & Academics Engineering Humanities Math Science Online Education Social Science Language Learning Teacher Training Test Prep Other Teaching & Academics As you may or may not have guessed the main topics, sub-topics, and so on are all geared towards real-world applications that will in theory make you more successful. This may in turn land you a career at your dream job. This could also assist you in your social media (YouTube) career, personal development, self-employment (entrepreneurship), and so on. Although there are courses in basket weaving, bird watching, and feminism I'd recommend against them. I have nothing against those who bird-watch, protest nipple freedom, and weave baskets for a living. But I'd like to focus on the tens of thousands of courses available in highly demanded categories. That can net you some serious dough. I left examples below if you wanted to peruse careers in these categories. Bird watching Basket Weaving Regardless of the professional career path you've chosen, I'm sure you'll find the perfect courses for you. If you took a look at the images posted above. You'd notice at the top there is a sale currently in circulation. By the time you see this, I doubt that code will be available. The bold text below is the example of the sale that was in the image. I've also included a coupon code I use religiously for Udemy. This code has gotten me courses that or normally $160 or more for or less than $30. Courses from $13.99 end tomorrow| Get an extra 10% off today only with code ACHIEVE. Ends in 4h 41m 25s. Below are the codes I've used. I'll try my best to update the list with coupon codes that are still operational. Follow me on Twitter I'll post coupon codes that you may use that I've used personally. UDEAFFNU420 Use the promotional codes above when applicable. I've amassed a collection of courses over the past few years. Some of which I’ve started, and some of which I've yet to begin. I just never got around to completing them. You can chuck this up to laziness and business. Those of you may know I've been working on developing the kodoverse for a while now. Thus it has governed my time and life leaving me little time to complete my Udemy courses. I'll show you the courses I've purchased over the past year or so. I have 21 courses so far and am planning to acquire almost every useful course on software development, code, data science, and so on. There are tens of thousands of courses so I guess maybe not all of them but many. Let’s set my goal to 100 in total and go from there. I recommend that you also have a set number of courses you are willing to take to improve yourself. Here are the ones I have so far: Completion The hardest part after buying your courses is to actually complete them. Something I struggle with but aim to fix. Sadly I’m not alone 90% of people who purchase a course do not complete them. Hopefully, you are less busier than me, regardless you should still be able to complete your courses. There really aren't any excuses. Udemy has apps for both IOS and Android so sneaking in some study completion time during break shouldn't be an issue for most courses. Also allocating a few minutes to an hour a day should help move your course completion time along. I myself will implement at least 1 hour a day to complete my courses. And have been doing so for close to a month now On your Udemy app under push notifications, you can turn on learning reminders. Set the days and time you'd like to be reminded to complete your courses. Job/Career People have different career paths so I cannot speak for every path you choose. My field of study aligns with software development. Although Udemy code courses aren’t considered accredited to many businesses. Employers do appreciate the money, time, & dedication it took to complete the course. Thus this is considered valid for entry-level jobs, especially in software development. The courses show that you can complete complex assignments, and build real-world applications pertaining to your field of study. Code has a tendency to change and update like most fields. This includes new information, ways to write and implement logic, adding and removing methods, and so on. So let us remind ourselves of the benefits of the certifications: Staying on top of the new trends Shows that you are very interested & dedicated Highlights your accomplishments Real-world assignments Certifications that boost your resume Adds to your overall skill-set and qualifications Improves your current knowledge Shows your willingness to improve your education beyond college or high school Admits you don’t know everything and are willing to learn more You know your skill & job requirements profoundly The more the merrier, you’ll further understand the work NOTE: Regardless of the field of study make sure you take courses that offer a certificate of completion. This is considered a professional certification. It looks magnificent on your resume Millions of people take Udemy courses every year, and many have gotten jobs with the certified certificate completion of their course. Conclusion Get started already. Udemy is an amazing platform that millions enroll in. Attach the certifications to your resume. Remember what I said and add to your arsenal. And most importantly don’t be like the rest and actually complete the course... Good Luck be sure to let me know about your progress.

With so many apps and platforms available today. Learning to code has never been so easily accessible to everyone. That said apps like Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/learning/where-to-learn-how-to-code-online Udemy, Coursearea, code academy, Edex, Mitx, freecodecamp, stackoverflow and countless others would be a good start to learn how to code. But before you start a course lets outline and go over a few things. First you’ll need to determine your goals and why you want to learn how to code.  Is it to land a career with a startup or FANG company?  Or perhaps you’d want to create your own original website, webapp, or ios/android app? Or maybe even write .exe, .msi, .app, .mac programs for your desktop?  Or maybe you’d like to create your own AI; Which I actually started post college it was called aviy. Additionally code taught me how to heavily modify various linux distros, such as Arch, Mint, & Ubuntu. I also created my own social networks (unreleased, & TBA), and dozens of other work. That being said the possibilities are endless...  Now that you asked yourself those questions.  What have you determined?  Why do you want to learn how to code?  I’ll assume you want to land a career with a tech company. Or maybe even create your own web/app and mobile app. Hell you can do both! For instance. The skills you’ve learned while creating your own app and such, will help you if you wanted to land a career as a developer or software engineer If you want to learn or do something else with code. Don’t fear because the methods outlined, can be used to apply to anything code related. In hindsight. Other than apps like Instagram, twitter and such, your phone, your car, your tv, your remotes, tablet, the sliding doors at work; Even the traffic lights you see while driving, all have code. Anything that requires electricity in today's day has microprocessors that were coded out, for specific functionalities. Everything you interact with on daily basis has to be coded, and programmed in order to operate. With that said there are languages designed for human understanding and computer understanding. For those types can be put into 2 main categories: High-Level Languages These are the more human-oriented languages. These are much easier to understand learn and interpret. It’s much more efficient with pre-programmed commands that function with fewer lines of code written. Some are PHP, Python, Perl, NodeJs, Basic, Java, Javascript, Ruby, and so on. Low-Level Languages These are languages that are complex & much harder to understand. These are Machine, & Assembly code. And they look like this  Source: https://blog.logrocket.com/webassembly-how-and-why-559b7f96cd71/ These are raw languages that’ll give you more control over computer software & hardware. They won't have any per-programmed commands. And they are much easier for the computer to understand.  There are dozens of languages to choose from. By deciding on what you want to create; it’ll help you narrow down the right language that’s perfect for the application. Learning to code is a lot easier when you know exactly what you need to learn. There are mountains of documentation, forums, books, courses, YouTube videos on nearly every language. If you want to go the career route. Know the job you want to apply for, the languages they require. And get familiar with interview prep books and websites like leetcode, that’ll whip your coding skills into shape. Source: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/preparing-for-the-systems-design-and-coding-interviews/ With the assumption that you’ll be creating your own web/app and app. We’ll be focusing on what you’ll need for web and mobile development for the remaining of the 101 guide. Need-less to say there are several career growth opportunities for developers and engineers of all types. They’ll range from $70,000 to way over 1 million yearly.  Obviously this all depends on your level of position, time vested, and what you bring to the table. Whether your a jr. developer, senior developer, tech lead and so on. A few common fields that deal with code are: Computer Programmers Computer Engineers Software App Developers Web Developers Front-End Developers Back-End Developers Full-Stack Developers Computer systems engineers Computer systems analyst Detailed information on pay ranges and responsibilities, can be found at levels.fyi. & Glassdor.  Source: https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer Source: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/seattle-software-developer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,7_IM781_KO8,26.htm  I am a Computer programmer & developer. I specialize in full-stack development for webapps, mobile apps, and software. Meaning I create everything from the initial idea, and concept designs to the creation and deployment of the project. I’m a one man development army, that is for the most part until I hire a team. Let’s take a look at the platform kodoninja.com/.  This was created entirely by me “The coding ninja”. This includes the social network kodospace.com/ and its affiliates such as kodohealth.com/ from the kodoverse. Everything you see, the design, including how the content loads and connects to the server and its database were all designed and created from scratch. I’ll advise you to give this full design process a try to get a proper understanding on the entire process of coding. I tried to keep the platform kodoninja as simple and lightweight as possible. While including a light social network, blog entry, forum creation, and much more. As a Full-Stack developer and engineer the main languages I used were PHP, Angular, and Vanilla JavaScript that’s it. The main differences between the three front-end, back-end, and full-stack are that: Front-End – This is what the user interacts with known as the interface. They make sure content works great across all mobile and web platforms, and browsers. These languages will almost always include JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Html: This is a markup language. The backbone of any platform. Every site you’ve visited including your phone has elements of it. This allows for everything to be sectioned, viewed, structured, and displayed. Examples of this would be <header>,<nav>,<main>,<article>,<section>,<aside>,<footer>, <h1>-<h6>, <p>,<a>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>,<q> and many more. This language needs CSS to look exactly how you want it. CSS: This a processor scripting language. This is how you’ll style your platform. This is linked to your HTML pages by the <linkhref="css/mcss.css"rel="stylesheet">tags and tells the DOM known as the DOM (Document Object Model) model. On how to look & appear to users. Here is where you’ll decide on the placement, location, size, color, of images, inputs, buttons, divs, span, aside, article and every other HTML tag. CSS allows you to create keyframes, mixins, animations and other cool interactive methods. They can come in frameworks like Tailwind, and libraries like bootstrap, foundation, and bulma. SASS > SCSS is a powerful scripting languages that allow you to do some really powerful css tricks and functionalities. If your just getting started in web development, I recommend frameworks like the ones I mentioned before. I leave a link below so you can check out many other great frameworks. These include html tags, and just about anything else you’ll need to get started, before you create pure custom works. Source: https://geekflare.com/best-css-frameworks/ JavaScript: Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript functions with your DOM elements. This is the most complex portion to frontend development and has various frameworks such as Vue, Angular, Exspress and so on. There are dozens of libraries such as React, Polymer, and Jquery. Javascript allows you to control how everything on your platform operates. Whatever a user does; the immediate feedback is caused by Javascript. It can also send feedback and data to the server-side scripting language to update, add or change data. This is also one of the most powerful and versatile languages which can be used for anything.  Source: https://kinsta.com/blog/javascript-libraries/ Back-End – This is what the user doesn't interact with directly but is seen with the front-end. It is responsible for the performance, server-side functionality to store, load, view, and process data entries and calls. The languages can be Python, JavaScript, NodeJS, Kotlin, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Java, Rust, NodeJS and so on. PHP: This is more of a server-side scripting language primarily used for server-side communication. It’s one of the only languages that can be inserted directly into the HTML without any assistance, unlike Python.

This is an engineer that works on both front and back-end development. In addition, they’ll be much more involved in web security. As you may have guessed coding can be vast in its applications. There are many types of coding languages available. So it can get confusing narrowing them all down to the ones needed for the application your building. Now that we know the differences between front-end, back-end, and full-stack development. Let’s take everything we learned so far to help us build a platform, first let’s outline a the things needed to build this platform:  The purpose Figure out what you want to create. Do you want to create an app, a webapp? Or maybe both. It might even be something else; Regardless decide on what that something is. You’ll also need to ask yourself why am I building this app? Is it to make money? Is it to change lives? What problem will your platform solve? Are there any other platforms like it? If so what sets yours apart from theirs. As you see,. the purpose of your platform will consist of many questions.  For instance while creating my platform. It was created from me; the fit programmer/developer. It’s aim is to help those who want to help themselves. Mainly through Self improvement, personal development and financial freedom. Learned from articles courses, seminars and so on.  I wanted a place for those who wanted to help themselves. I also wanted a space where I’m not the only one posting and creating the content. I wanted many “coding ninja’s” to post and grow the kodoverse ecosystem and community. For webapps your platform description should also be outlined in your meta tags. This is a description of your platform that informs SEO robots and humans of what your platform is all about. Let’s take a look at my meta description for kodoninja to get a better understanding.  The coding ninja platform is the ultimate Guide to Personal Development and financial freedom. Our growing community will help you learn and create new income streams through software development, Investing, day-trading, money management, etc. Our aim is to also get you physically fit, healthy, motivated, and confident to accomplish your daily life. So sit back learn, absorb, and put into practice everything your learning from our platform. The next step is to research. If other platforms like it exist, research them. Find out why other persons visit and download those platforms and why it works. Take a look at the layout, the (UE) user experience, (UI) User Interface & (UX) User Design. Apply similar strategies to the platform your building. Source: https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/the-difference-between-ux-and-ui-design-a-laymans-guide/... Outline why someone would want to use or download your web/app as opposed to the others you’ve researched. Find your niche? Think of this as the specific category of your app. For instance kodoninja fits under self-improvement, personal development & financial freedom.  You’ll also need to specify a target market. Who is the app geared towards? The demographic such as the sex, age, gender, education. The Geographic. Where is the location of the app based? Is it local? Is it state: California, Washington, Region: West coast, Mid-West Or broader North America, Global. You’ll also need to to consider the psychographic (lifestyle, economic conditions and positions), and behavioral as you plan to expand. Developmental Planning Now that we have everything outlined, and have done our research; Let’s discuss the Developmental Planning. At this point we should have a general idea and purpose of our app. We have researched our competitors we know what works for them and how to apply it to our work.  For instance my platform is based off of a combination of platforms such as alux.com, and the penny hoarder. You can find many elements of these platforms in mine. I know if it works for them, it should work for me. I choose not to reinvent the wheel entirely.   Features At this point its a good idea to ask yourself what features will your app have. My creative process is that I write down what my purpose is. Then list out the features I believe will go well with it based on research. For instance lets take a look at my platform description  Knowing this; The features I’ll add will be: User page, User login Global search newsletter sign-up Goal Post, Forum Post, Blog Post, User Post Courses, Downloads Feed Memberships comments, shares, likes Design & Creation The next step we’ll need to do is take all of our research and the features we listed to create the UI & UX. We’ll start by creating a rough sketch. I choose to do this on paper, but you can do this on your tablet. It really doesn’t matter. We’ll design the: dropdown menu, & selection appearance menu functionality user pages all pages look and functionality post logic, repost logic, search engines Coding your work As I said I kept it simple with PHP, CSS, & Javascript for my webapp. The IOS will be swift, and the android will be Kotlin. For you you’ll need to decide on the language you’ll be using.  For instance if its an app you’ll likely use Objective-C or Swift for Apple’s IOS, or Java, kotlin, python, C++, C#, Dart, Corona w/ Luna. If its a web/app we know well be using required markup languages such html5/xml, css3/sass/scss and a javascript library. This is in addtion to any core language such as PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, and so on. We’ll also need to link it to a database written in SQL If its a desktop software we know well need the methods of building webb/apps and something more specialized such as Java, TypeScript, Python, Bash/Shell, PHP. If its an AI, you’ll want more of a mathmatical and data orianted language such as Matlab, Scala, R, Python, Julia, Prolog, Haskell, Lisp I’ll be creating several playlist that will walk you through the creation of many apps, webapps, and even desktop software, over various languages. Conclusion Learning to code can be intimidating at first, however can become easier as you become more comfortable. As I’ll try my best to walk you through step by step in the coming additions. I’ll also have courses available on kodoacademy.com/ and udemy.com/ when it's complete. In addition, there are tons of source material and information available in books and online. Although I went to college to learn a lot of this, I’m mostly self-taught through many many books, courses, online forums, and YouTube. Speaking of college don’t think you need to be at an Ivy league grad or even go to college to get a coding job. There are other methods such as certifications, certificates earned from taking courses that are free and paid. Having a degree with certificates and certifications, is a stacked arsenal, and nearly guarantees success. More of the courses in addition to the ones mentioned above are: Source: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/learn-coding-online-for-free HackerRank. freeCodeCamp. GeeksforGeeks. Codecademy. Codementor. HackerEarth. W3Schools. Learn as much information as you can. I own hundreds and have read dozens of physical books on various types of languages. I’ve also read several books on the same language to further ensure I know the language. In addition to having almost every free certification I could find regarding code languages. I’m still taking courses to this day and will continue to do so. Figure out your path and platform you’d like to create and learn the languages needed to create that platform. Use the tools I mentioned at your disposable. Take the steps I mentioned to complete a platform of your own mastering the languages needed.

I may be the most boring person I know, and this may not be a bad thing. boring. That’s a rather grim word. Seems kinda sad. Webster classifies boring as “causing weariness and restlessness through lack of interest:  causing boredom”. After reading that definition you can argue I’m quite the contrary. But I can assure you I am indeed boring. At least I can appear boring to most people looking at me. So who am I? Im nobody special. I continue to say this no matter what I accomplish in life. Well okay. So who are you? What are the things that make you, you? Since you are here I’ll start with myself. I’ll list the 5 main things about myself. You do the same. Software Engineer/ Developer Bibliophile/ Writer Movie/ Anime enthusiast Content Creator So I was gonna list 5 but all I can come up with was 4. I’m sure theirs more but these are the main things. A few other personality traits of a typical boring person are that I am: Quiet / Recluse / distant I hardly see sunlight I stay to myself/ lone-wolf Enigma to the highest power. Unrelatable That’s it. See? Now this is boring. Wouldn’t you say? For the very few persons on earth who actually “know” me. Yeah, I’m talking to you 4 or so people. Hey, how's it going? Anyway… They’d probably go on and on about the things I’ve done, can do, and some other stuff… But they’d also argue in a way I can be seen as boring, but more of an enigma as mentioned in #4. I'd agree. The Point The major grasp here is that some people looking in, like the ones who know you, don’t know you. And those that think they know you, will all have different grasp and interpretations of who they believe you are. I mean if you never speak people are only left with what they can see from you. This goes for everyone. Ask a few people, anyone what they think about you, or what they know. You’ll get some pretty interesting answers. You may appear (boring, great, amazing, or dumb), but the list of answers can be pretty radical. I seem as stupid to many but also the opposite. I’m below average in my opinion… no one asked, okay let’s continue. The larger picture So enough about me. Let me tell you how being boring may not be so bad 😜. One of which was just stated. As in you are you. You can appear as many things to many people. Get this If you picture a boring person in your head the results will differ from person to person. Some qualities of a boring person may be (laziness, dullness, lackluster, uninteresting,..) You may picture a person who doesn’t get out very much, on the couch, watching tv all day,… Some may see a person who writes code as boring. That goes for building equipment/ computers, writing, reading, walking, fishing, card collecting, chess playing… That can go on and on… To some people clubbing, meeting people, hanging out, talking, and watching sports isn’t boring. If you're part of an anime club. You watch anime, do cosplay, and so on… Then all of you are not boring. Because this is interesting to all of you. All of you are the coolest people on the planet. The same goes for any topic or activity. No matter how weird or obscure it may seem to others. Since I’m boring, or maybe not boring. Or shall I say: Since I know almost no one, have very few friends, loner,... Well depends on how you look at it. I have more time ⌛, or shall I say I have more focus on things that matter to me. Like coding, reading, writing, creating, gaming, building computers, “working out”, “training”,… and so on Conclusion 1 Boring people rule the world. Bill Gates was a “boring” engineer recluse building Microsoft. Steve Wozniak built the apple computer... The traits of this guy can be seen as boring. Elon Musk dedicated his world to writing code. Completely engulfed in his work as he slept on his office floor building what we know today as PayPal. Mark Zuckerberg the boring, recluse, arrogant psychology major who many HATED for no reason build a website… I think it's called Facebook. Hell people still hate this guy, I don’t. Even though I met him once when my friend sold his house to him. Mark told him I’m better than you... Well... hahaha… Anyway... The 4chan creator, Twitter creator, myspace creator, the person who built this and that… All from boring people... The creator of your favorite show, game, or whatever, 9 times out of 10 all came from a boring recluse person. There are some exceptions like “Howard Hughes” YouTubers But… well you get it. Conclusion 2 If you're boring, be boring make something out of it. Don’t be like the types listed in other articles. Make something out of your gift of being boring. Yes, you heard that right. Being boring is a gift. Interesting people have their benefits and quirks but the power of boring people can change the landscape of the world. Just look at all the things Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates have accomplished… In addition, add some cool personality traits. Most people go off of how they feel around you. If it's fear or inadequacy, you can enact rage and anger. Like Mark… If they can relate, kindness, you get it. These types aren’t typically seen as boring. Communicate, and have a sense of relatability “the quality of being easy to understand or feel sympathy for “: Cambridge English Dictionary … Today Elon Musk can be seen as cool 😎, by those who are completely adjacent to tech, rocket science, and computer science. How can people relate to this guy??? He’s not boring. My god he puts rockets in space. You take another person who is in techs, rocket science, or computer science, like a typical NASA engineer ???, nerd, or little ol' me… Well there lame and boring to some. Elon takes boring things and he's a monolith... Granted well you get the idea. … Hell! You can be a chess player, gamer, streamer, or pokemon master, and still be seen as cool by those that don’t do these things. Just by having some good personality traits. Happy National Pokémon Day!!! from your favorite trainers/gym leaders??? @snitchery @ThatFoxxGirl3 @missbrisolo ?: @BenjaminFarren pic.twitter.com/2D0hgKT5kq— Lea Martinez (@officialslayeas) February 27, 2023 I’m teaching myself how to communicate with people. I've always sucked at it... Again, the few who know me may disagree… It's all perspective… Here is a book i will be reading (Pic: ShashiBellamkonda/Flickr/CC BY 2.0). https://medium.com/publishous/how-to-win-friends-influence-people-decoded-d5c00512c499 Boring people can be awesome… Don’t let your boring unrelatable traits, skills, or awkward quirks, be a limit. Be a cool cosplayer or webcam actress… Boring can make you something great like those that I mentioned. Focus on the coolness of your boring hobbies and skills. Become the next loved and respected nob polisher, hacky sack champion. Or maybe developer if that's your thing. You are amazing no matter what you do, or who you are.
