A new start, a wonderful new adventure!

Since I was a child I was passionate about?everything?related to computers, (that was 14 years ago). In particular, more than anything I was passionate about games. I remember and now it seems like it was yesterday that I've mostly played GTA San Andreas and Counter-Strike 1.6, day-by-day...:) and I was never bored playing even a whole day.

My neighbours used to come to me for help when something was wrong with the computer or some software (especially at that time we had boxes of CDs and DVDs with music, games, software). What interesting times they were...and how everything related to technology has advanced today!

But enough with the nostalgia. Back to the present, where a week ago I started this new chapter in my life, after a long absence from everything related to computers. A true friend who was willing to invest time (and nerves) in me brought me back computers, but at a different level, that of programming and coding.

I started like a junior web developer by familiarizing myself with everything about Visual Studio Code, a spectacular program for creating pages with HTML, CSS, with so many extensions that really help you, and then with GitHub, this really interesting and useful platform in all the progress you make. So far I can say that I've learned the basics of HTML and CSS and how I can start creating and structuring pages, but also make them look really pretty with CSS syntaxes and properties. At first I find it overwhelming how much there is to learn later on, but then I remember that without hard work you don't get lasting results, some of the results last a lifetime.

I've been taught so far that I have to handle different situations as I know and can, step by step great things can be done, it just takes time...and the waiting is the hardest, but when you see the results you forget everything that was hard. Any support is welcome, I really ask those who read this article (it is not much to read) not to be afraid to leave me suggestions and lessons learned, I welcome them.

Looking forward, I am eager to learn more and more, to become a really good programmer and start my own projects that will come up. Some important steps for me that I was learned to take and I want to follow are:

• learn step-by-step;
• be passionate about programming;
• learn to touch type (to improve your posture and muscle memory, you will definitely notice a difference in speed when typing on your keyboard);
• be patient with yourself every day and always learn more than you set out to learn;
• watch presentations(tutorials) and read books;
• read and write code(practicing every day);
• type rather than read (for better understanding);
• learn and implement;
• recap and make a brief list of everything you learned each day.

If you decide now that your dream must become a reality, it will become so.

I hope not to bore anyone with my lines inserted here and u ntil next time I'll leave you with a favorite quote of mine, which is reflected in many situations:
