Hey, folks! Tuning in from BST (which doesn't seem to be an option, actually--but we're still in "Summer Time" here in the UK!) so will be nipping in and out in between fixing dinner and watching the Nintendo Direct later!
I'm a proper CodeNewbie who is starting on the Nanodegree programme with Code First Girls in hopes I'll be a newly-minted software developer in about 16 weeks!
I grew up with computers--I used to play Q-bert on a Commodore 64! Although I never really viewed myself as someone who would be in programming, I've always had an interest in building websites and making things work, having made websites and blogs with Wordpress back in the '00s and early '10s.
I took an Intro to Python course with Code First Girls over the summer and really enjoyed it, so I'm pursuing that further with the Nanodegree, with some SuperHi courses I bought last year still chillin' in the background. :)
Having guided courses definitely helps. I have a huge backlog of courses on Udemy that I keep meaning to get to. I keep meaning to make time for them, but I never do.
I am a science loving, pie baking, Tetris crushing, curious human that enjoys nature and research. Currently, I am learning Java, SQL, and web API design using Spring Boot.
Location

Congrats on the Nanodegree programme! 🎉
I'm also keeping an eye on the Nintendo Direct. The final Smash Bros. challenger reveal is finally here! Woot woot!
I'm a friendly non-developer from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife, our 2 cats, and greyhound. (he/him)

That's awesome! Good luck on the Nanodegree! What started your interest in programming?
Aside from wanting to change careers? XD

Woot! Awesome to hear you're working toward that Nanodegree. 🙌
Also, fun to flick back and forth between CodeLand and Nintendo Direct! 😀
