My Tech Journey Wk 3 update

14th June, 2020
Even though I'm writing this a little late, no I did not forget to update this blog.

It's becoming difficult to stick to this schedule but I will push through. Here's an update on last week:

  1. My friend taught me some C programming. It's the first actual language I've learnt (other than Pascal). I enjoy the logic and problem solving of programming.

  2. I learnt a little about Game Programming Mechanics on Futurelearn. It was interesting so I will try to complete it soon.

I will be focused on my studies so programming will be a necessary challenge.

Xoxo. Thanks for following along. Leave a comment on how I can manage my time or on what I should learn next.
