I started learning programming in the beginning of 2015 by reading, doing exercises on code-academy and taking Udemy courses online. However, I knew I wasn't learning fast enough for my taste, so I enrolled into Galvanizes 6 month intensive Full-Stack program. Here I was able to learn rapidly along with my classmates and benefit from instructor guidance. I continue to immerse myself in code by going to Meetups, reading tutorials, taking Udemy courses and practicing code.
Programming has reopened so many doors for exercising my creativity again. This is something that I missed tremendously from my previous jobs. Problem solving from my past jobs have made it a smooth transition to start solving problems with code.
