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: Sams Teach Yourself: Beginners Programming in 24 hours

Sams Teach Yourself: 

Beginners Programming in 24 hours 

Sams Teach Yourself : Beginners Programming in 24 hours 

by Greg Perry and Dean Miller 

Pearson Textbook (4th Edition)

ISBN 10: 0-13-583670-0


Where to Buy: https://a.co/d/b2TLimv


Goal: 

Was hanging in the library, decided to check this book out on the whim. 

Felt overwhelmed by the internet and the amount of information I was bumping into, so I decided to look at the Text Book section to figure out if there was anything that could help me figure out my career goals. I figured I wouldn't have a chance to become easily distracted with a book. 

Hope: 

I hope that I can gain an understanding of programming with python benefits. 

minimally, I can create a few things (projects) and add it to my list of higher level languages learned. 

I hope it all makes sense in the end. 

Outcome: 

OMG. Somehow I landed on Python. LOL But guess what, this book inspired me to keep going. the HTML, CSS stuff is fun and all, but I've always been curious about what Programming really looked like. 

I can officially add PYTHON to my things to do list. 🤣🤣🤣

📗 YES, highly recommended. (for all adults learners)

📕NO, for kids and anyone that hates technical manuals

📙 MAYBE, as a reference book
