Introduction

Hello 👋🏾 and welcome to part 2 of Learn How to Code! In the last post, I gave an introduction to programming and how computers work, then shared tips on how to get started with coding. I hope since then, you were able to figure out what path you would like to pursue in the technology field, and maybe even start learning a bit of coding. If so, congratulations for taking your first steps 🥳🎉! Next on the list is to learn basic coding concepts, and practice with examples. I’ve decided to split this into two posts, because I want to go more in depth with some important computer science concepts in the next one. Don’t worry if some things don’t make sense right now, you will understand as time goes on — so feel free to bookmark for later. Let’s begin! 🚀
