Four years ago, I got curious about programming. It wasn't my first time though; I took an intro to computer science class in my first year of Engineering School. The programming language was C++. I remember it was the best class ever compared to the other classes, and I think I have fallen in love with programming. Then I forgot all about programming until I graduated and started working full-time as an electrical Engineer.
I found out about edX, Coursera, and FreeCodeCamp websites. I started learning HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, JQuery, and More. Never got to try learning Backend development, though. I have always been interested in design, colors, and that is why I loved front-end development and focused on learning those skills.

I took many online courses on several platforms while working full time. I never started a serious project to use my skills, it was only the courses' assignments. Then one year later I started my MBA program and forgot all about programming again. But every once in a while I took a course or two online. At that time, I learned Python and the Basics of Android development.
While I was doing my MBA, there was once a project needed to be submitted for Creativity in Organizations' class, part of my MBA program. I chose a real project, and I even submitted the website written in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, without Backend development, though. I could have used Bootstrap to make it fully responsive, but I did not have much time. It was really fun to do and fun to submit and present it to class.

A couple of months ago, I became interested again in programming. I started with CS50 "Introduction to Computer Science" Harvard Course. The course was outstanding. The lectures were fun to watch, it was as if I was watching a show, not a CS lecture 😁. But When I started Android development track, it started to get really challenging. I tried to solve the first application assignment, Pokédex, but could not. I took OOP "Object-oriented programming" in Java and Android development using Java courses on Udemy, then went back to try to solve the assignment. Unfortunately, I failed to do so. So I decided to take a break from the course and go back later to finish it, hopefully before the deadline.
Now I decided to start learning Android development with Kotlin from Scratch with more patience. I chose Udacity Courses by Google. The courses are:
- Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers
- Developing Android Apps with Kotlin
- Advanced Android with Kotlin
Currently, I am studying my second Course, Developing Android Apps with Kotlin. You can follow my daily learning Journey on my Twitter Account, while doing the #100DaysofCode challenge. Sometimes, I post my notes, code, or the final developed application.
