Hello everyone!, I'm a student of Mechanical engineering from Venezuela but I'm doing a course of programming called CS50 becouse I like the all of the related with technology and the development of software that is closely related to it. I like too the electronic, the knowledge and everything related with the education and the information sharing.

In the course I see a few programming languages but I'm not decided yet wich to choose.

I'm glad to be here and meet more people who are interested in the technology and programming as well as view valuable information that shares each

I'm new in this world of programming so I appreciate some material to help me on my long road as a developer and technology lover

I think it's all, I finish with a question:

If you were 19 years old, what would you have like to know to be a developer? ( like information, some course to know some things more fast, some opportunity or idea to be more successful... )

I've heard CS50 is a great start.

Also, I think just writing a lot of code and programs is such a useful way for learning. Learning computer science is a whole lot of theory and what not, but what has gotten me this far as a developer is just making projects and programs.

OH and @vaidehijoshi has been writing Basecs, her computer science program/series. Great stuff!
