Male Female

So it was about five years ago when I was first learning how to code or learning programming, and my biggest wish was probably to learn something outside my domain of knowledge. I came from a financial background and had never typed any code. I think my first step to overcome it was just writing a lot of code, watching many different kinds of programming tutorials, and reading a lot of books. After about six months, I felt that I could do it really well, even though I still feel that I lack fundamental knowledge of computer science. I am still trying to learn some basic fundamental knowledge of computer science even now. However, from my experience, I think as long as we keep trying, we can put a lot of skills into our brains. We can do it, even if it's not really good the first time; it's just about getting better after a lot of iterations.
