  1. Leave a comment below to introduce yourself! You can talk about what brought you here, what you're learning, or just a fun fact about yourself.

  2. Make some new friends by responding to another newbie's comment πŸ‘‹ Feel free to follow one another, too!


P.S. If you have a technical question, you've come to the right place! Use the #help tag in a new post to ask the community for assistance with writing your first line of code, picking a tool to use for a particular project, or anything else. No question is too basic.

Hello!

I'm Joan from Nairobi, Kenya.
I've been trying to carve out time to work on side projects and learn more in-depth stuff, aside from work, but have struggled a lot with keeping consistent.
Nice to be here with you all :-)

I'm available to help with any Python questions!

Hi Fellow CodeNewbies,

I am Denis and I am based in the USA. To be specific Minneapolis, Minnesota. Though I actively participate in CodeNewbies twitter chat by answering questions and engaging with people, it is my first time here. I am happy to be here and I am excited to participate in this challenge starting with the writing challenge. Though the challenge started several days ago, I wasn't fully ready to start the challenge until this weekend. I am still going to do it. It's better late than never. It is great to meet you all.

Hi Denis,
I am also in the states, north-east.
How is the political 'weather' in Minneapolis? Did it seem like touch and go for a while?
