Learning to code

Being out of job does not stop me from learning new things. Although it may be a little late to learn programming, but it is never too late. I am inspired by the 81 year old lady Masako Wakamiya who bought her first computer at 60 years old, learnt programming from scratch and single-handedly created her first iPhone game. Being a Chemistry major, I was not exposed to Programming and I felt I missed out a lot of opportunities. One of the things I hope my little girl Gabriella will learn is programming, and in order to be "connected" with her, I should learn some programming myself.

The challenge at the start of learning programming is "where should I start?". There are so many different programming languages. When I attended Tech in Asia 2017 a few weeks back, I met Masanori Kato who founded Progate (an online coding school). Progate helps beginners like me to learn coding, starting from basics like HTML&CSS, Ruby, Java and Python.
