Hello Everyone,
My name is Vinay Kumar and I am a mechanical engineer. I learned to code in my school day using C++, I was pretty good :p. I like to code and solve the problem after completing graduation web development seem good to learn and earn by yourself. I usually do CAD design and looking for a job. I learn first using Codeacdemy, I also try Udemy and other video course but FCC is curriculum is way better to learn.
Didnāt expect reply so fast, and so directā¦
ā¦and thank you for having meā¦

As you can see my name is Željko, from one of small countries on Balkan peninsula, as far I can remember I was always near computers, soldering stations, monitors and televisions. For years and years.
To cut my story short, one of reasons to learn, in my case not exactly to learn, but to wrap my head around all of concepts, and to get good in it. I have wasted too much time jumping from one to next field, not staying in any for too long. This could be related to my willingness to learn new stuff, constantly.
How I tried to learn to code? Usual ways, YT, codeacademy, and here at freecodecamp. Restarted my progress too much times. 
And this restart is my last. Weāll see how will it go.

I am no longer doing MeteorJS. It is great if you use there front-end framework if you try to use your own framework like angular with it. It was very buggy and poorly tested. Iām glad that FCC has updated their curriculum so it is so much better.

Iām soon learning the code to start my own business as a freelancer. I worked on other peopleās websites and how HTML, CSS, and computers worked for many years. This three year is a long and slow slogan with some success, but it is a good community and a place to find a place that will help you learn something already. I am starting to dive into javascript, so this is the right time to find code camps. I also gol project from Aol Shield.

Iām learning to code because I want to make things. CSS and Javascript apply to my job, tooāso thatās a bonusābut Iām driven because there are certain Web applications that I desperately want to create, even if just for my own use.
I played with Apple Basic in the 80s, Pascal in the 90s, Object Oriented RealBasic in the '00s, and studied Swift with the Stamford YouTube course last year. In each case, I had a ton of fun, and built working prototypes for fun things. But I always stopped shortānever arrived at something that could actually be polished, used by others, published or shared. Iām optimistic that the āfull stackā path of freeCodeCamp will overcome that.
Iām keeping running, live notes on everything I learn on freeCodeCamp.

Greetings, fellow travelers!
Iām Richard. I am a hobby coder learning through free online resources. Itās an indicator of my ānewby-nessā that my first post on this forum asked for help accessing my FCC account. Fortunately, I donāt remember the details of that fiasco but hereās hoping my future posts will be more of a help to fellow newcomers. Happy New Year!

Hi Manny ! Iām not sure if you are still on since you posted this in 2017 youāve probably achieved your goal by now. Iām also currently in P.R and learning code for the first time. I wondering if you know if there is an active FCC community in P.R ? - Geny

Hello Everyone!
My name is Ant and I am a network engineer (data, voice, security) by profession, and have been in the IT field for about 10 years now. I also teach technology courses, mostly networking and systems, as an adjunct professor at a local university. Iām a guitar/bass player and singer, and have loved working with Photoshop (since v7) and photography in general so I like having creative outlets; which is one reason Web development/design is appealing to me. While working through my undergrad and graduate studies I had several programming course to include Java, Unix Shell(s), VB, and of course HTML and CSS.
As I mentioned previously one reason I am getting into Web development/design is for the creative aspects but I also hope to someday work as a freelancer on the side or work with a team on larger projects while making a little extra income. Who knows, if ever get good enough maybe a career change would be in order;)
So far I have been using Codecademy, books (the real kind you can hold in your hand:), The Oracle (Google), YouTube, and now freeCodeCamp.
Anyway I look forward to learning with and from you all and wish everyone all the best on your coding journey!

Hi Julien!
I have lived in Europe for about 20 years now but I was not born here. I had some Web Dev and programming courses at university but as far as really learning Web development I just started about three months ago. I think your English is fine:) I look forward to seeing you on here in the future!

Hey everyone, Iām Alphie
I liked the pretty things (Grapics/Illustrations etc) and started to learn to build websites with Webflow. After getting my head around the principles of code structure and flexbox I was keen to give the real thing a go, I dived straight into Javascript and React thinking that I could pick up HTML and CSS along the way, which thanks to the mighty glory of the web and the awesome people that share their knowledge online I did to a certain degree. Iām studying RWD at the mo but hope to progress through the certificates for a more rounded knowledge, not just the oasis of tit-bits you pick up when scouring infinite articles to get you past the wall.
Looking forward to learning with you guys!

Hello All! My name is George. I initially became interested in computer programming decades ago. While in middle school I learned BASIC and became pretty proficient in it, even winning a few programming contests. For some reason, I lost interest and pretty much dropped all things tech for several years. After careers in the military and in education, 5 years ago, I started a small remodeling company. I enjoy the work, but it got to be too physically demanding, so I shut it down a couple of months ago.
I then decided to get back into the technosphere, and I just founded a tech company. Having only a great idea and next to no current coding skills, I brought on a couple great software engineers and we are in the process of completing our app prototype.
I am here on FCC to learn as much as I can about the coding process and software development in general so I can have a better understanding of the concepts and processes involved in software development. I hope to be able to earn all of the certifications. In addition to FCC, I am also taking computer science courses on EdX.
All the duties and responsibilities of running a start-up keep me super busy, but I have set a goal to work on coding a minimum of 2 hours per day. Hopefully through FCC, I can meet some great people along the way. Cheers!

Hiya!
Iām new here, and new to coding.
I used to be a dog trainer and kennel manager, before that I was a stable manager, and for various reasons Iām looking for a career change.
Iāve dabbled in html and css when I had my business website for the dog training, so I figured that was a good place to start. I also love that there are projects so I can build a portfolio. I tend to not be very good at coming up with project ideas on my own.
