Finding Programming

My degree incorporates Python by way of ArcGIS, the industry-standard GIS software. This exposure taught programming fundamentals that inspired me to learn more. This interest blossomed into a pursuit for a career in programming, and more specifically as a full-stack developer.

Learning Programming

This journey is paved with a myriad of resources, those of which primarily came from books or official documentation. Nevertheless, reading is only part of it, it must be applied. This essential aspect manifested as uniquely scoped projects to reinforce studied materials. Most of which assisted in the creation of this website.
