Computer science.

How I got into it was I've always been interested in the gym and mostly building muscle and really anything related.

Thio human, the human body and performance.

And so that is what led me Thio getting my bachelor's degree in exercise science during the last year of my degree.

I started looking into whether they're any good workout tracking APS out.

And it turned out no, I found that there were a lot of work out tracking apps out there.

But there were, in my opinion, at least, no great work after they were all really cluttered with stuff I didn't want and especially they were missing features that I knew were really important.

So a bit annoyed that this didn't exist, I kind of thought, Well, maybe I should make one.

I mean, how hard could it be?

Keep in mind that at this time I didn't really know what programming Waas and I'm not really a big gamer as I play games maybe once or three times per year, and I also don't really consider myself very good with computers.

And at this time I thought that programming was something that you had to learn from when you were like three.

In spite of this, I still for some unknown reason, thought that it wouldn't be that hard.

So I got set up for some Eye West development.

And then I just watched YouTube videos on how to build things.

I mean, how hard could it be?

Turns out after about two hours of watching videos, that it seemed extremely hard and a bit out of reach.

So I quit.

Then, after about two months or so, I still had the thought nagging me about how great it would be if I had this app that I was dreaming about.

So I got back into it for another month or two, and I actually managed to publish an app to the APP store called Compounded, and it was completely unrelated to the workout tracking app.

But it helped me learn some of the basics of how to build the act.

I wanted to build, however, after having published it and realizing that I spent way too much time building this really, really simple act.

And while simultaneously being in less six months of my bachelor's degree and also working part time, I just slowly stop.

But I know at this stage that this was something that I wanted to do, and I've always loved creative things and building stuff.

Building software was something that I knew I could just spend hours and hours doing.

So I finished my bachelor's degree in exercise science, and then I had signed up for another bachelors degree, this time in software engineering.

And during the summer before school started, I looked into what the course literature was gonna be, and they recommended the book Java Head first.

So I bought the book about a month before school started.

It's a big book.

It's about 600 pages, so but it's extremely well structured and easy to read.

Okay, so really, the three months starting from when I got the book, because I really didn't learn much before that I was very unstructured and just all over the place, with how I was trying to learn it.

So really, even though one could argue that I must have learned something during this time.

I would argue that anyone can replicate the three months that I'm about to explain to you and get a job with relative ease.

All right, so I've got the book, and I figured out that if I read 20 pages per day, I would be finished with the book by the time school started.

Now, 20 pages per day may seem like a big task, but here's what that meant.

Event.

About one hours of reading every day and at most two hours, and I'm not a fast reader.

I finished that book and started applying to jumps based on the premise that I had read the book and that I was about to start my software engineering program.

And I actually got a few responses, but no job.

During the next two months when school started because I had already read the book, I didn't really need to spend much time on school, so I spent most of my time building my app.

Then, during the second month off trying to get a job, I finished my app and it's called extra log, and it's still just an absolute basic beta version of what my vision is for.

But I built it in Edward's studio on using Java, and I got it published to the Google play store.

Right after having done this, I started applying again for jobs, and this time I got a few interviews but no job.

So I decided to start building the iPhone version of my in order to increase my knowledge base and build my resume within the next three or four weeks.

I managed to publish the IOS version off my Ex a log, and I published it to the APP store.

And once I've done this, I started calling some of the companies that I've gotten calls from and interviews from from my previous job application.

And most of them weren't interested in me still, but one startup, Waas and I came in for an interview and ended up getting offered a job as a front and Web developer, which is an area that I didn't have any previous experience.

And so that is how I went from zero programming experience to working at as a front end Web developer started.

I hope you got something out of this video, and if there's anything that you would like for me toe make a video on the future, then just leave a comment and maybe I will on that's it.
