#CNC2021 "Start Coding" Mission 2 Submission Thread

After completing all the steps in your Mission 2 email, post in the thread below about the language or framework you've decided to learn and tell us why you picked it. Now, find one or two other people who've picked the same language or framework and introduce yourself and share a thing or two about your coding journey so far. Keep in touch with these people and follow them on CodeNewbie Community — you might reach out to them for help in the near future!

Reminder: No need to drop a link to your worksheet! That's for your personal use only. Instead, please respond to the homework prompt directly in the comments.

Congrats on challenging yourself to Start Coding! If you have any questions about the challenge overall, head to the Start Coding Help Thread. For any technical questions throughout the challenge (or in general!) write a #help post and share with the community!

I have decided to learn python and mainly focus on the Django Framework. I have a basic knowledge of some of Python concepts and i believe the applications of the language are world changing, from Machine learning to AI, naming a few.

Hey Mucheru, that is exactly what I have decided too. I know a little Python just from some personal study, and I think it is the most versatile language for the type of projects I can see myself getting involved with. I have never used the Django Framework, so will be trying to learn about that too. Good luck!

Hello! Even though I'm kind of late, but I'm hoping I could join.

I have chosen python as my first language to start to. I have known some basic knowledge about python and I'm still halfway on finishing it.

Not too late to join the team I hope, lol.

I choose Python. I have a basic knowledge of the language and is gradually moving on to the frameworks.

I love how versatile and cross platform it is.

All the best guys!

If it's not too much, can we all drop oye Twitter handles in order to aid the keeping in touch process? Mine's @preshh0

I have also decided to learn Python. I am almost halfway through the Codecademy course. From what I have read so far, Django seems like a great framework to start with once I finish the basics.

I have decided to learn Javascript and React ( After learning JS ). I have a basic knowledge of Javascript and I have read a bit about React.

I think is good to learn since is more popular and can be easier to get help when I get stuck.

I'm picked JS as well, I know the fundamentals of HTML and CSS that I learn from FreeCodeCamp course. I've made a few projets using this knowledge and now I'm half way through the Fundamentals of Javascript and ES6.

My interest is in frontend web development. I already have good knowledge of HTML, basic knowledge of CSS, and have used Bootstrap before. First, I want to learn more CSS, including Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Sass. I may also take another, deeper look at Bootstrap. With a good foundation in HTML and CSS, I then want to move on to learning JavaScript as my primary programming language and eventually learn React as a frontend framework.

If you want to #startcoding with HTML and CSS, too, either as a total beginner or more advanced, let's connect!

I'm giving priority to JavaScript because I found it to be main language of other frameworks later on moving to React. And I've already tried HTML and CSS, hoping to move my step towards JS. Let's think and make something cool with these technologies.

I have decided to learn #Java because last year(2020) around August I decided to pick coding as hobby , I found a book called introduction to java and taught myself some basics stuff and i am still half way through. Now I feel like pursing it as a career or maybe just having some practical skills . My area of interests are mobile app developing , front end web development and software engineering. I am still not sure which framework to go with but I am open for suggestions and guidance from the community . Thank you

Hey Dis_Connected how's it going since your post. I'm sure you've made additional progress. I fell in love with Java a few years back but never really pursued it. In between jobs this year and decided to pick it up again, and now I'm obsessed. I've been readmitted to college and pursing a second BA in IT. I am currently working on eds2go, codegym, jetbrain academy, and several books. I am trying to stay positive and motivated even though some days are more difficult than others. I have a lot of doubts but right now my motivation keeps me going. I love it when I am able to actually solve a problem without having to "google" it or go back to the lesson.. That's what actually keeps me going. Godspeed....

Hey Ron , I have a made a little progress. Finding balance between work , family and coding hasn't been easy. Some days i feel like giving up because there is a lot of staff I still have to learn. I enjoy solving problems from the book that I am using , but sometimes I can't find the strength to attempt a problem . This has been a tough journey for me, I love coding and I have a passion for it ..........

I decided on C# and Unity for game development. If I have time, I will make my life even busier with JavaScript, and if I really squeeze myself I might add React to the list. Regardless my top priority will be C# and Unity.

Hello, I have decided to learn Python and continue learning about React. The reason i am choosing this two is because they are like a break for me after going through C++ and JAVA in college. Also they are very flexible when it comes to fields of application.
