Well, if you've clicked on this post you might be expecting a deep dive into why computer science or programming is a science. I would like you to hold your horses, this is more of my approach to coding as a rookie at this skill. The thesis of my article is based on my own approach to coding given that I have a great background in artistic fields more than technical based or STEM fields.
I first encountered coding in 2021.Back then coding to me meant nothing, actually I only found interest in it from the fact that one of my friends was a leader in the tech club at my former school.I knew from the start that my aim was to go for functions since as rumors had it, their were fine ladies at these conventions. Well, that changed when I started exploring the world of technology and found out there was more to it than just fine ladies(well I always knew but was bluntly ignorant.)
Last year was the first time I engaged coding for the first time.It was a decision that came from a place of genuine interest and career shift. I came across an advert from a tuition free training institution called Zone01 Kisumu.The same interest drove me to follow the application process. I landed a spot in the piscine a one month selection process.I accredit my growth to that month because of the fact that up until then then only thing I knew about coding was vs code. It is during this one month that I learnt that programming was more than just Hello world.
Honestly, programming is not as easy as some people would like to tell you. During that first month of real programming I realized that up till then I had not done anything remotely hard as programming. I had to shift the way I approached it, That's when I decided to relate this skill to fields that I was used to. That is the only way I could understand the spectacle of writing code on an IDE and it outputs information. I started looking at all these great coders as Picasso's of there field, using the IDE as there canvas and the syntax as there paint.
Well, programming like any art form has its own technicalities, with programming having more. The different coding languages and there various accents(syntax).Honestly, I'm still figuring out a lot of things about coding,with my first language being Golang it has forced to go back to the STEM subjects and borrow ideas from them.It might be hard but what can say 'Do hard things'.
