Learning in public - Scrimba fullstack path

Short introduction to myself

My name is Fredrik, 36 years old, I have a fulltime job working with safety in the energy/oil-gas sector in Norway, educated within the maritime field, I live with my girlfriend, our 1 year old boy and 2 dogs; Kira, which is a 8 year old staffordshire bullterrier, and Macho which is a 6 year old english bulldog/french bulldog/olde english bulldog mix.

Interest in programming
Since I was a teenager, perhaps even before that, I have been interested in programming, I remember when I was able to create my first hyper link, perhaps it was around 26-28 years ago. I think I used 2 days to figure out how to do that, there wasn't many resources to learn from and I was very young so couldn't understand much of the documentation out there....

I took a maritime education and have been working within this field since 2012 - for various shipping companies and operators.

Maritime offshore training with the coastguard

Here we were training with the swedish coastguard on our way to Nynashamn for offloading crude oil.

How to do this?
I am going to start with Scrimba fullstack path, I need to dedicate a fixed amount of time during the week, and post regularly. I am also thinking about registering the actual amount of hours I am using on Scrimba and give a review on my sessions. This is at least what I have in my mind right now, lets see how it develops..

Motivation and ambition
Motivation is just learning itself. I am not in need or rush to get a developer job or anything like that, but I do have an ambition of being able to create various fullstack projects, and my dream would be to be able to become a freelancer, either as a side gig or as a fulltime freelancer but I am realistic about this. This project with learning in public is mainly to push myself, it creates a pressure on me by publicy announcing that I want to complete the Scrimba fullstack path.

I also hope that I can be able to get to know alot of people in this community, and that we can help and motivate each other.

Thank you for reading!
