DEV! Starting my journey with Python, PowerShell, and Git 🚀

Hello everyone!

I’ve finally taken the plunge and joined the DEV community. I’m currently at the very beginning of my coding journey, and I’m focusing on three main tools:

Python - for logic and scripting.

PowerShell - for mastering the terminal.

Git - to keep track of everything I build locally.

I'm excited to learn from you all and eventually share my own progress.

Question for the community: What is one piece of advice you wish you had known when you first started learning to code?

Don't rush to learn numerous languages, technologies, or frameworks. Learn one thing and learn it well - give yourself that solid foundation first.

Thank you for your advice, Richard. One of my biggest problems is I sometimes get stuck, and when that happens i like to take a break from one thing and move to something else. That's why I'm focusing on all three, not all at once its just what works for me and stops me getting bored or giving up. Are you learning Python too

The trio is fine, it's not like you're trying to learn Python, Java, and, say, Rust all at once. I'm currently working through the freeCodeCamp curriculum but, yes, my first love is Python!

I'm using Coddy for my Python learning for the moment its not bad, and I like to refer to W3 schools if I need any help with code structure. It's great your learning Python too
