Hello World - My First Experience Coding

June 18, 2020 (6y ago)

Hi there!

During the pandemic, I didn't know what to do with my life as I still didn't have a concrete dream. I felt like I was wasting a lot of time.

Then I came across this free online course, CS50 from Harvard University. From then, I began to discover coding and computer science, thanks to the very cool instructor, David J. Malan.

The course started with the basics of computer science, and I learned about algorithms, data structures, and even some web development. It was challenging but incredibly rewarding. I spent countless hours debugging my code, but the satisfaction of solving a problem was unmatched.

One of the first programs I wrote was a simple "Hello, World!" program. It might seem trivial, but it was a significant milestone for me. It marked the beginning of my journey into the world of coding.

As I progressed through the course, I built several projects, including a web application and a simple game. Each project taught me something new and helped me grow as a programmer.
