“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu
Welcome to the beginning of my coding journey.
I'm a personal trainer learning how to code in order to one day have the possibility of creating something that could massively disrupt the human life for good.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job but there's just something that the ¨Tech World¨ has that the fitness world doesn't...
Big money! Haha, just kidding. It is the possibility of human transcendence.
I may sound romantic but it is something that can't be put into words. The closest ones would be: revolution, evolution, space-travel, start-trek, quantum-supremacy, etc.
Things only big minds would understand.
Perhaps I should thank my parents for nourishing me with this insatiable desire and curiosity for knowledge.
Anyways without further to blab about, let's get into the coding part
I'm starting with Python and thinking about learning a second language at the same time alternating throughout the week.
The reason behind my analysis is based on a strategy I heard while learning human languages.
In order to learn two languages at the same time, pick two from opposite sides of the spectrum (ex: German - Chinese) in order to avoid confusion with syntax and grammar, a counter-intuitive approach instead of learning two languages sharing the same root (ex: German - Russian).
However, I know that my analogy could not be a great fit for learning computer languages (High Level - Low Level).
So, what do you think about this strategy?
Should I focus only on one or two at the same time?
And if you think I should learn another language besides Python at the same time, which one would you pick?
Here are the ones that I'm interested in:
- JavaScript, HTML, CSS - High demand for web-designers
- Solidity - Although new, shows a great potential for demand in the future
- C - I've heard that once you mastered it, everything becomes easier. However, I've read that it is mostly used for enterprise solutions and that is something that doesn't excites me.
