My name is Luke. I am an aspiring software developer and in the process of "self-teaching". I currently work full time in a warehouse in Minnesota. I have decided I need a change and want to learn the skills required to start applying for jobs as a software developer. I am hoping I can do this without a college degree, so I am devoting all my spare time towards learning. I worked for several years as a computer repair technician and have been around/inside computers most of my life but I have never mustered the gumption to delve the programming rabbit hole.
I started my journey about a month ago with C#. I am currently using YouTube, a few books, SoloLearn and CodeWars to learn and practice. I signed up to be a part of dev.to in the hopes that connecting with other like-minded individuals would teach me a lot and help in progressing towards my goal of becoming a software developer. If you know of any learning resources or have any tips, I would be grateful for any and all suggestions. I really like the content I am seeing on the site as well as the positivity, I hope I will be able to contribute to both in the days to come.
