Hey guys,

So after much contemplating I decided to join a community of software developers, I'm hoping to learn a lot from you guys. I'm a second year software development student from South Africa, I finish next year in June. I covered a lot in the last year and a half from Python to SQL Server, Java, C#, HTML and CSS with a bit of JavaScript.

To be honest I've never given software development much thought, but in this current day and age I thought it's a smart decision. My dream is to work overseas in Europe or North America and make a life for myself there.

I'm definitely not feeling confident in myself and second guessing things at every turn. What I'm trying to do is make my personal portfolio with some projects to showcase what I can do. I have some big ideas, but maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. Would love to hear about your experiences and how you got started and what you struggled with the most.

Cheers.
Marlon
