Hello,
this is my first blog. I am writing to document my journey as I become the engineer that I want to be. I dropped out of college, well my second college as I already got my degree in biology. I was doing a postbacc right after I graduated but I quickly realized that I can make a plan for myself better then what I was learning in school and I can do it for really cheap.
I am 23 and I currently know a bit of html and python. I have not made any projects or even explored outside of the terminal in python. The most code I've written is a for an assignment which was about 200 lines of code. I want to post the assignment here and what I turned into to look back on it, but I think thats illegal.
Currently I have a monthly subscription to Zero To Mastery, as of right now I really believe in the company and I think its pretty amazing. I learned python from school (well not really, I learned from youtube and just did the assignments) and i'm using ZTM to continue the front end developer path. I am going to continue to get better at python and make a project from it from youtube (thats just so I don't lose the skills that I have gained while I was in school). My main focus is ZTM however.
I will check back in after and week or whenever I feel it is necessary for an update. Listed below is all the things I know and want to know for python so lets see if I can cross some more of those items and get some type of tangible work in my portfolio.
