Personal Experience
“I am currently doing Harvard’s ‘Introduction to Computer Science’ course available for free to everyone online. We have started into C, and now I must create my first real program on my own. I know the more I study, it’ll get better. It’s just it’s funny, I really do feel like I am learning a new language. I was in medic prior to becoming disabled. Took to this as a hobby. Very different, very rewarding.”
Engaging with your coding journey and embracing the challenges is all part of the learning process. Keep going, and you’ll soon see progress in your skills! #CodingIsRewarding #EmbraceTheChallenges
Same here! I felt like I was deciphering ancient hieroglyphics when I started learning C. But trust the process, it’ll click eventually. You’ve got a great background in medic, and programming is a whole different beast, but you’ll adapt. Keep pushing and rewarding yourself, you got this!

Yes. It gets easier with time, most people have never been exposed to programmjng before so it takes time to get a feel for the landscape etc.
