In my 40s, committed to learning to code. Ideally, want to live/work overseas. My goal is to succeed at and promote middle aged, beginner, self educated coding.
Being an older beginner, I find it can be a lot harder and more challenging and slightly intimidating to do something so vastly different that what you're used to. Through a lot of reading and research into coding, I realized starting a blog was a good way of reinforcing learning and meeting new people in the industry and making those connections. Dev.to came up time and again as one of the better places to start. My only real concern would be needing to learn Markdown. But not enough to stop me from joining.
I work as an Embedded C Engineer. Interested in expanding my knowledge in other areas of software development. Building a collaboration community for devs at https://inspirezone.tech
Thanks for sharing!
Blogging is a great way to document what you're learning. I'm also encouraged to post more by being part of a community like DEV. And Markdown isn't too bad once you get used to it 😅
