About a year and a half ago I decided that I wanted to try something new. I love learning new skills and I wanted something to focus my mind and give myself a new challenge. I decided the “thing” would be to try and learn to computer program, but where to start? Well I did start and (while I can still remember) I wanted to write down some of the experiences, frustrations and successes of the last year and half, so that I can look back at them, but also to try and help others that might want to start the same journey. This is my journey from not knowing how to code, to publishing a fully working android application on the Google play store (more info about the app at the website here). I hope you find it useful.
