The Beginning — Journey to becoming a software engineer! (Flatiron School)

Next week, we will start our ~20 week journey to becoming software engineers through Flatiron School!

I am sitting in my new home office listening to Ed Sheeran on Spotify thinking about what to write for my first blog EVER and thinking of several topics:

A. How much do I write? Short and Sweet vs Long and … (is there a phrase for long works?)

B. How technical should I be? Should I talk about the languages (Javascript, Frontend, Ruby, Backend, etc.) and other various tools (Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc) that we will learn?

C. Should I tell a personal story? Something like *deep inhale* how I was a computer science major my freshman year in college (Graduated May 2016) and changed my major 5 times until I went back to computer science but by this time I was a junior and needed to graduate (student loans) so I went to my second favorite which is business so that I could graduate on time but still knew programming is something I wanted to do but not college again so I researched and found coding bootcamps and fortunately came across Flatiron School. *phew* (Should have listened to my Dad who knew the technology field was where I was going since high school. (Live and Learn!))

Now which will you focus on Emmanuel?? How about all of the above!!

Soooo welcome to the blog and I hope you enjoyed this introductory post! It is my goal to give you a look at this tough but exciting journey in which I am embarking. And hopefully, with some of my interesting humor thrown in, you will at least crack a half smile along the way!

FYI* There will be a lot of side thoughts and written interpretations of visual thoughts!

Thanks!!
