This year I will learn to code
That's my New Years resolution. It seems simple but in reality it will be a huge commitment. My plan is to practice for an hour a day. I haven't yet decided what language to learn and what program to use to teach myself but I plan to figure that out today. I'm looking for advice and I know there are a ton of smart people here on Steemit so if anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Why do I want to learn to code?
For a variety of reasons. First, there is the fact that I have an idea for an application almost daily. I have so many ideas for tools I want to make that will make life slightly easier. Next, we live in a quickly changing world where computer programming is an increasingly important sill. I want to make sure that I don't fall out of touch with technology and I believe that learning to better utilize it and to shape it myself will keep me ahead of the curve. Lastly it is good for the human brain to be learning new skills. In addition to the fact that coding is useful on the job and in everyday life, learning new skills helps us to be better thinkers, learners and problem solvers.
I'm looking forward to getting out there and making new things to share with the world. In the mean time I'm looking for help so if anyone knows of a good way to learn/what language I should start with that would be awesome!
