I have just completed three months until my admission as a B. Tech student at a university. As a novice in the tech world with no prior coding experience, I focus this month on getting introduced to tech, coding, programming, etc.

My talks can help new beginners and motivate me in future journeys

FIRST MONTH

1^st Week:

In the first week, I give time to get friendly with tech. What would you like to learn in the future? Our college also arranges sessions to familiarize us with college and future technology.

2^nd Week:

This week I started my coding journey with the language JAVA. I learned it from an online platform GreatLearnering. Here I completed the basics of JAVA. Then practice some easy problems. I learned JAVA from

3^rd Week:

In the third week, I started learning HTML for WEB development as advised by my seniors. With that, I continued to JAVA. Some like-minded seniors started mentoring us(some of our progressing-minded batch mates).

4^TH Week:

This week I got to know about Git and GitHub from my seniors. They made us familiar with GitHub also.Dibyendukundu04. I get to know about Opensource.

SECOND MONTH

5^th Week:

This week's advice from my elder brother who is also in the field of tech changed the coding language to C++ for DSA. I started learning C++ from the CodeWithHarry YouTube playlist. I get benefits from this playlist because it teaches you from scratch.

6^thweek:

We started contributing to our seniors’ existing WEB Development project MAKAUT_BUDDY. This website provides resources for our college students. Thus I was able to make my first Opensource contribution.

7^th Week:

Our CA exams have come this week, and for that reason, I become a little bit busy with academics and can't focus on coding too much.

8^th Week:

This week I got to know about GSoC from my seniors. It is a great opportunity for beginners in the field of open source. I also started monitoring all social media accounts about my journey like Twitter @Dibyend54100636, LinkedIn, etc.

THIRD MONTH

9th Week:

I attended my first-ever international seminar conducted by JCON WORLD on open source. I started my coding journey on leetcode, and I have solved 7 leetcode problems. This week I attended a Web Development Boot-camp conducted by Programming Hero from Bangladesh. I have also made a project for the boot camp. Here is the live link https://dibyendukundu04.github.io/web-development.dev/.

10th Week:

I continued solving DSA on leetcode on Binary search with it I had make another Web Development project for Boot-Camp. This week week I started learning CSS. I along with my classmates started working on a Web development project.

11th Week:

This week I continued With CSS and DSA. There was some pressure from academics in college so I was busy solving that.

12th Week:

This week I learned some design skills in Figma and Canva. Also, I made a Design for a group project.

PROS:

1. Started learning C++ language.

2. Started learning web development.

3. Started creating small projects which can be possible at the starting phase.

4. Started working as a team (as a required skill).

5. Started developing communication skills

CONS:

1. Changing one language to another.

2. In the first two weeks getting advice from the wrong persons.

GOAL FOR 1^st YEAR:

1. Completing web development as much as possible)

2. Learning DSA.

3. Building better communication skills.

4. I have an interest in collecting information related to society from here and

   there I want to continue with it.

CONCLUSION

This is a small part of the long journey in tech. I have to learn lots of things. I feel fortunate that some seniors in college are always there to help us. I will continue to write about my journey in the future.

I am overwhelmed that you gave your precious time to read my journey. I hope it will help you somewhere.

Self-Opinion:

1. when to start coding?

• I would say you should start coding from the first day you enter your college. If you learn coding before coming to college that is more beneficial.

2. which language should I choose?

• You can choose any language in which you are comfortable. For DSA C++, JAVA, and Python are preferred.

3. Which development I choose?

• You can go with any development that you like. There are many developments – WEB Development, Android Development, AI ML, etc.

4. Can we manage academics along with coding?

• Yes, it can be managed together. If you do have a good time management idea you can. Yet I am new to it, for now can say it.

For any further queries, please comment down I will try to resolve them with my utmost knowledge.
