In this video, I'll share my coding story, and how I learned to code and successfully changed careers to software engineering. When I was first learning to code, I really found these "testimonies" very helpful. The struggles, tips, and just hearing others succeed at learning to code served as a huge encouragement to me. I'll discuss what I did before coding, my first exposure to code, learning to code, and the various jobs that followed. We'll discuss what I learned in each step, my successes, and failures, and how you may be able to apply the same tactics to help you in your journey. Tune in!
