I saw you on FreeCodeCamp youtube Channel for the very first time explaining Git and GitHub and I liked your way of explaining there so I directly moved to your YT channel and Subscribed your channel and then after a while I got to know about MLH and EddieHub discord community then l got introduced to Open source and that's how I got to know about the community 😃 |

Thank you. I love your content. I actually have a project as an
organization and private repo. Do you have any video that covers Github
projects and organizations?.

The community encouraged me to start learning & working on GitHub and I'm
really enjoying the process of learning and contributing to Open Source. I
loved the way folks here are really active and encouraging to each other
🤩 . There's a lot to learn from all our community members ❤️

How I got into techI am a person who didn't like computer science at all till 2019, this was because the school syllabus taught me all the time about excel, making ppts, and the basics of computers, which were not at all of my use back then. When I entered 11th standard, I got python there in my syllabus. But still, due to my very hectic schedule involving physics, chemistry, and math tuitions, all I learnt in 11th standard was just how to print and the basics of functions. Now when I came in 12th standard, I got time to explore various fields. In order to prove to my CS teacher that I, who never liked CS, could do programming, I started learning python from scratch. As time passed, I liked programming so much that I started programming the whole day. I got interested in programming specifically because my father runs a coaching class and I saw him working hard all day long to satisfy family's needs. I created programs to automate much of his tasks and it looked just magical to make computers do my father's daily works. It was as if I got the world's fastest servant to assist my father. How I discovered EddieHubGradually I learned python, its libraries like pandas, matplotlib, tkinter etc and qualified Microsoft's exam for python. Felt the need for having a version control system after I got tired of doing So till now, I have learned python, HTML, CSS, data structures and algorithms of javascript, SQL, MongoDB etc. I am presently learning nodejs. My parents and friends were literally shocked after coming to know all that I have learned in CS, because they knew how weak was I in CS just a year ago. I feel happy when I see my class' CS toppers learning basic python, and me having learned and discovered so much. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to share my journey. |

This is inspirational. I hope Eddie could share this too. I still feel like
I need to give tech a one genuine try.

How I discovered EddieHub
Gradually I learned python, its libraries like pandas, matplotlib, tkinter
etc and qualified Microsoft's exam for python. Felt the need for having a
version control system after I got tired of doing Ctrl+Z in order to get
my previous stable code back, so learnt git, came to Github, got a
recommendation by YouTube to look onto Eddie's channel, so joined discord
channel ( knew nothing about discord). Putting links of sites other than
that of github on Eddie's discord channel made me discover the issues forum
situated in eddiehub. I then read the readme and got into EddieHub
community.
So till now, I have learned python, HTML, CSS, data structures and
algorithms of javascript. I am presently learning nodejs. My parents and
friends are literally shocked after coming to know all that I have learned.
I feel happy when I see my class' CS toppers learning basic python, and me
having learned and discovered so much.

I came into tech for those kiddish games when I was in the 1st grade. They got me into mobiles and games. Then my school's web portal taught me computers. Then I started webdev for competition with elder friends who were still using WordPress. That dropped me into wp development. Finally, the lockdown introduced me to discord bot development. Then my dev spirit enriched, I learnt many programming languages. Now since feb here in open source with my project reseter.css |
