If I could start over.

Coding is one of the most amazing things you can do in the world. You can build games like flappy bird. You can build apps like Notion. And you can start companies like Facebook.

It’s a skill you have to learn if you want to be part of creating the internet.

Introduction

I’ve been coding for 6 years and worked at large companies including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

If you’re interested in being a successful programmer, we’ll first have to learn how to build a programmer’s mindset.

That sets the foundation to learn the coding choices that make sense and how to be even more efficient coding.

This is everything you should know when you’re learning how to code.

All the information about coding is out there. The only difference is how they approach problem solving.
