Hey there!, I'm sure there's the question of time travel on those two pictures😊, right!, let me walk you through.
Well, I was a really curious one to begin with, i had a lot of questions to how on earth do people make things work on devices, dvds, vhs and the likes, it was just astonishing!
So i decided to open up some these things we had home back them to see the little men making things happen in them, I guess the outcome was pretty painful🤣.
Well moving forward, It all started when a cousin to my friend had an accident and he was moved to the city I am to be treated and then he stayed with my friend's parent, and Yes!, he had became a full blown web developer back then, so we went to him and that day, i learnt my first hello word in HTML😍.
Even without having a laptop, I was rocking my samsung J5 mini, I did most of my coding practice on my phone, started with the front end, client side programming wasn't much of a problem while developing on mobile, the real headache begun when i started the backend (PHP) and needed to start running a local server, was able to get one and use for a while till my phone went for it😓.
Fast forward to few years after, a friend gave my a laptop which really helped me improve my skills then, though i was still struggling to find a balance between sticking to front end or back end, so was here and there claiming the fullstack developer title😅.
Well, I officially got my own first laptop few years after landing my first gig
Few months after, i had to stick a stack and keep up with frameworks to get better, so i chose front end, started out with react, learnt a little typescript too.
But moving forward, i got my first Job and the framework in use was angular, this made me dive deeper into Angular and get familiar with other supportive frameworks that moved me from being just a web developer into a web application developer and mobile application developer using either react native or ionic angular.
CONCLUSION
I hope this encourages someone not give up, it's worth the try and hard work!, It'll definitely come through!
