Hey, thanks for your comment!

I understood that programming was for me from the moment that I got really excited about it. Actually it was at one of the meetups where someone was doing live coding on screen and I was following what they were doing on my laptop. The thrill that I got from it, I will never forget. I went back home so excited and just wanted to do it more and more! Yes you do get stuck sometimes and some concepts take longer to understand than others but it only makes me want to dig further. Have you tried joining a local tech community? I know in US there are loads! It really does help to have some support around you. It can be difficult doing it on your own. Have a look on meetup.com to see if there are any meetups nearby :)

Ah I went to a UX/UI workshop and I wrote about my experience and what I learned. I am interested in UI as well but haven’t gone deep into it yet. Soon I will!
