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.
Hello Mucheru, I guess we are in this together. I wish us the best🤝🤝🤝
All the best to you too Sherifah.
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!
We are in this Gill. All the best
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.
Nice one Mucheru, I have a basic knowledge of Python too & Django frame work is the best bet.🤝
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 also followed you guys on CNC.
Good luck!
Even I am interested in this framework :)
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.
Same Clinton, I based my choice on job availability tbh lol
Same here
Same! I'm Jo Luna. Hope to see you in the community.
Hey JS team here too, hope to see you around. And share some knowledge.
Hey Guys,
this is also my current status in my learning Journey!
I am also working on Free Code Camp and i do a eDX Course by IBM.
I think web development and JS are a good starting point lo dive into coding...
Greets,
Basti

same here !
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!
My name is Binta, I am a newbie currently learning HTML and CSS and also looking to move on to Javascript as my primary programming language. I am very much interested in connecting and learning from and with you on this journey.
Welcome Binta!
i am also working on JS as my next step :)
I'm learning CSS
Let us all connect 💚
Sabine, I'd like to do much of the same as you! I'm focusing on JS and React after having finished the freecodecamp HTML/CSS courses and having used Bootstrap in the past.
I'm learning CSS
I'd like to do much of the same as you
Hi Sabrine,
I also have a fundamental knowledge of HTML and CSS. I have decided to focus on Bootstrap. So let's connect. Jayne
I'm learning CSS
Hi Sabine! I'm Yoshi. I'm also interested in front-end development. I'm currently studying through JavaScript on Codecademy. Nice to meet you!
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.
Hi, I'm Gideon
I'm also interested in js and I hope we do build cool stuff
Hey Jerin,
I am on the same level too, excited to learn javascript as an next step :)
I wish the best for your journey !
I'm learning CSS
I have decided to learn Javascript, and focus on Front-End programming. Web development to be more specific. For instance, I would like to learn how to create beautiful websites using Javascript and React as it's framework.
Me too! I'm Jo Luna. Hope to see you in the community.
Hi! I'm also interested in learning JavaScript and Front-End programming. Looking forward to learning with you
I'm Gideon and am also interested in JavaScript
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 ..........
Thanks for checking up on me
Believe me I get it with four kids it’s tough finding the time. Check out the article link below. My brother sent it to me today… something to think about. Well if you have any questions let me know I can try to help as much as I can. Good luck! apple.news/AeL73baY2R42zE1t1IrteRw
I want to start learning concepts in javascript and react and also study resources on how to make a programming language!
Hi there! I'm Jo Luna. I'm going for JavaScript and React. Hope to connect with you in the community.
hey luna, looking forward to connecting too! sharing a good resource i found below

Thanks so much Anushka!
Hi I'm Gideon and am also interested in JavaScript.
Great! If you are ever interested in a coding buddy, I'm here ✌️
Hi! I've also chosen Javascript but haven't yet decided on a framework yet. I'm currently working on The Odin Project!
I've decided to learn Javascript and React framework. I choose this based on my familiarity with language and the popularity of the framework. I hope to have smooth learning experience ahead.
Hi Aleem,
Looks like we'll be learning similar technologies, hope we can show each other a thing or two on this learning journey.
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.
C# and Unity is a path I would like to explore one day maybe 😊
C# and Unity are on my radar also. Focusing on JavaScript for this challenge.
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.
I will continue to learn JavaScript with Vue as my choice of framework. I believe that Vue's simplicity is perfect for my way of learning and creating.
Hola! Yo elegí JavaScript pero con React... hablas español?
Entiendo pero no hablo. Ya hice un curso hace unos años pero como no lo usé terminé olvidándome de muchas cosas );
Hi Diego, I have decided to learn JS and vuejs. I’m planning to start learning vuejs after I learn fundamental of Javascript.
Hope to see you soon in the community :)
I am learning Python. In the IT Support Field, everything is getting automated. It's important to learn this skill. Seems like Python is good for automation. Looking forward to learning with you all. I would like to suggest checking out netacad.com/portal/learning from Cisco. They have a free course called Partner: PCAP - Programming Essentials in Python.
I have decided to learn Python as I know the basics already. Then I would go deep into Machine learning concepts.
Hi Edward. Machine Learning is very popular right now. Great choice. I am just starting to learn python. If you have some resources I can use I will appreciate if you can share them with me.

Hi, @edwardpraveen89 I am also learning Python. Automation and Machine Learning are the future.
I'm late! I'm moving forward with the JavaScript language and React framework based on the available jobs in my area. I've already started to learn JavaScript and React in the past so hopefully I'll get caught up on the concepts quicker.
Hi Jeff!
JavaScript is next for me as well, once I get a better handle on HTML & CSS. 🤞
I enjoyed your Pillars article btw. It was good to see a different perspective of the stuff we're learning.
