I'm learning software engineering because I want to build tools that solve real problems in my community.</p> <p>I've seen how much difference the right technology can make, and I want to be one of the people building it. I plan to study computer science at university and, after that, start my own software engineering company.</p> <p>For now, I'm learning in public. I'll share what I'm learning, the small projects I build, and the mistakes I make along the way. Some posts will be technical, and some will be about the problems I see around me that software could help solve.</p> <p>My first goal is to build a simple web app and publish it. I'll write about how it goes, including the parts that break.</p> <p>If you're also learning to code, or you've been through this journey, I'd love to hear your advice. Follow along, and let's learn together.</p> beginners buildinpublic learning softwareengineering
