Most journeys have a beginning and a desired destination. But maybe not my adventure into programming.
Programming for me started in JHS 2 when my uncle thought it wise that I acquire some of the skills that could possibly determine the future. And so he got me a teacher who taught me the basics; HTML. I decided to build a website for my JHS class, and this led me even deeper into HTML and then later CSS.
A sudden turn of events left me on my own in this journey, and I turned to Mozilla Firefox's developer recommendations to further these skills. Through it, I discovered Codeacadmey and W3 schools.
Fast forward to SHS 1, and I discovered Developers In Vogue (), a tech group passionate about women in coding and signed up for their Speak Python bootcamp v2. With little knowledge of this language, I barely understood anything, but it opened my mind to a whole new world of programming.
Combining academic work and coding was nearly impossible, and lack of use facilitated my forgetting almost everything I had learned. And so, in my first year in university, I had to begin picking up the pieces and continuing this journey where I left off: in Python, and later C, trying to make the most of every opportunity to learn more, to see what I could use this skill for.
Through my engineering courses and the plethora of extra-curricular activities I engaged myself in, I have come to get a better grasp of Python and C and see (no pun intended 😅) how they can be used not only to make fancy webpages but also control real tangible objects to accomplish useful things. Dare I say it has been even more interesting on my initial break into programming. Thus, you'd find a lot of repositories here that are related to robotics, electronics, and everything in between, though they are most certainly far fewer than the projects I have actually done. I hope to get them all here someday.
The world of programming is limitless, brimming with opportunities.
I have no idea where it will take me, but I do know I want to use it to make a difference in society and in the lives of those who think they don't matter.
To let their voices be heard. To help them connect with those who can help them solve their problems.
To solve problems.
This work remains my greatest front-end programming feat ever. It inspired me to explore the world of HTML and CSS on my own, and explore my love for color and art in a different environment.
Through it I came to know of different classes of objects, tags and features of these two languages. Many thanks to my uncle for allowing me to perch on his website ;-)
See it here https://presetshs.com/classof2018/ (it is no longer available, and I had no knowledge of 'saving on the cloud' at the time, so all I have left to show of it now are the pictures below 🥲).
