One of the most frequent topics of advice on challenging your mind is developing new skills. Not only does adding skills to your set create a better resume, it also gives you important value. Learning a programming language is a start to exercising your mind. It is also a great way to set the groundwork for a side venture or even a main venture.
From the list of programming languages that are available on Code Academy, Python stood out to me as it is a "powerful language used by sites like Youtube and Dropbox." I clicked through the content list and found that I would be learning quite a bit! It was going to be a good challenge to push myself through, but being interested in how computers, software, and websites work, I knew I had the motivation and background to make it work.
I have over 35% of the course completed and am excited to sit and code each day to learn new things like creating string literals, using the keyword 'print'. I created a pig latin translator, a vacation cost calculator, and a tip calculator. I learned how functions work, how I can import math functions, such as square().
In the next few lessons, I am going to be learning to create a simplified version of the game Battleship!
There are several other things to come in the future on Code Academy for me in terms of learning languages. I do not think Python will be the only language I attempt to master.
