How did I start Programming? Part 1

My Transmission to programming.....

Hai guys,

I am Deepak M S. I am a Second Semester (2021 June) B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering student at the School of Engineering, CUSAT. I was a bio-math student in my secondary education at an ordinary government school. But I was interested in technologies from my childhood. Like other students, I want to attempt Medical Entrance. But the problem is that I didn't like biology. At end of plus two, corona cases are increased and the lockdown was implemented. That was a blessing for me, so I find my passion (that is programming) during that time.

After finding my passion I was searching for which course I want to choose? , B.Sc. or B.Tech? finally, I decided to take a B.Tech degree in Computer Science from a reputed college. But I was what are the precautions required for taking this course or how to succeed in this field?. After all of my findings, I was came to the conclusion that I want to learn Programming. Now I find the course, college, and path I want to learn. The next question was how to start programming? where do I start my programming career? For that, I deeply traveled through the core of programming. learned about different stacks, usage of programming, how to study a programming language.

Then I decided to start with Web Development. Why because I have basic knowledge about HTML and CSS. My first google search for learn web development was ' web development tutorial for beginners '. The first result leads to W3Schools website. From there I learned more basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Then I realized that building website or participate in a live project should give the correct idea of how these languages are working. So I started on working my personal portfolio website from scratch and published it on the internet with the domain deepakms.info(this domain not available now). This developed some confidence in me.

After a few weeks (when I published my personal website) I got admission to the School of Engineering, CUSAT. When I go through their syllabus I realize that we want to learn some programming language. That totally confused me! because which programming language should I learn first? is it C or Python ? which one is better? I search it a lot. Finally, I decided to begin with C (why C ? I will be publishing another blog on this soon). Once again I came to W3schools website and a lot of other websites and started learning C programming. After learning the basics of C programming, I started Competitive Programming on HackerRank. I get a silver badge(there are 4 problems are left and it was quite tough to solve). After practicing a lot of stuff on C programming I decided to learn another language. So my first priority was Python. I learned Python. But I didn't like Python Programming(I will explain it in another blog). So I switched to Java. Java is my favorite Programming language.

this quite enough for this blog. Follow me for the next part........
