More About Me

Let's be honest, despite the clever intro; I have no clue what I am doing. I am trying to figure out how to transition from one career field to another. I currently work in Acquisitions but I want to be a Software Engineer (Full Stack Dev). I will use this post to help me track and share my ongoing journey through the tech world. Good Luck to my future self. This should be a bumpy ride.

📚Book Review: Beginners Step by Step Coding Course - Scratch

on   in   with No comments

Beginners Step by Step Coding Course - Scratch 

Learn Computer Programming the easy way

Penguin Random House 

ISBN: 978-1-4656-8221-1

Where to Buy: https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Step-Step-Coding-Course/dp/1465482210 



Goal: 

Harvard CS50 requires me to understand Scratch for the projects. 

Decide to use this book to learn and do a few introductory projects to save to my website (portfolio)

Hope: 

I hope that it helps me to understand the logic of coding from a kids point of view and give me the confidence to move forward into more difficult things. If a kid can do it then I can. 

Outcome: 

Book was returned. Was a nice overview but NOT for my age group. Not very useful for me but encouraged me to continue looking into textbooks to learn versus online platforms. I wouldn't say SCRATCH is for babies, but I am beyond that point in my learning. 

Recommendation: 

📗YES, for Kids 

📕NO, for someone with beginner-level or moderate experience

📙MAYBE, for anyone super afraid to get started
