Python and Github

I am a huge fan of CodeNewbie blog, podcast, twitter chats, and slack channel. I am not sure what sort of superhero juice Saron (the founder and content creator) drinks every morning before starting her day but sign me up!

I have done a couple of Code Club sessions, on Swift (when I thought I could just go learn how to build an app, no big deal), and recently a tutorial on Github with the awesome JimmyLoCoding. All of these resources I found on Twitter when I decided to dive head first, and unaware, into the wild world of coding. I usually feel like of all the Codenewbies, I am the MOST newbie of them all - even after an earnest 6 months of learning on my own. They never, ever make me feel that way, though.

To date I have dabbled in Code School, Code Academy, Treehouse, GDI-SF meetups and classes, Women Who Code meetups, and about every youtube video I can find. I needed to start culling my resources and focus. Bright shiny objects still distract me every once in a while (will I ever learn Javascript? "Ask again later" says the magic eight ball.)

Now that I have been accepted into Hackbright, I have switched over to Python and -voila- the fine people at CodeNewbie slack channel and Saron had generated a discount code for the Real Python course as well as a Code Club / Study Group. Looking forward to learning with real live people.

So, I will be focusing all my efforts on two things: Python and Github. May the force be with me, for real, y'all, because Github makes my brain hurt.
