Embarking on My Coding Journey

RMAG news

Hey Dev.to community and readers,

My name is William, and I am excited to share my first post on here. I am writing this blog to document my journey to becoming a software engineer.

Background

I am a third year Computer Science major at York university. This year I finally got into the coop program here in York, so my goal is to learn lots of tool’s languages and technologies to hopefully land my first co-op work term.

Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to:
• Share my learning experiences
• Document my journey
• Hold myself accountable
• Connect with fellow students and aspiring software engineers

Why I chose to study computer science

Growing up and see all the technology help us in our day to day lives I knew it was something I want to pursue a career in. The idea of creating something with only line of code and readily accessible to anyone with a computer and an internet connection.

Current Progress

From the month of May I have coded everyday from learning to building out personal projects which I hope to share in my future posts. So, this month I plan to take it a step further share what I have learned and a reminder for the step I’ve taken for myself.

Goals for This Month

My goals for this month are:
• Continue learning Python and SQL
• Start developing a portfolio website
• Add more project under my belt
• Refining my use of power bi

Conclusion

Thank you for taking the time to read my first blog post. I’m exciting to start this next chapter in my life. Feel free to connect with me on Linkdin, I would love to hear your thoughts.
