70% of the people in tech today were once confused and lost about how, when and where to start from. I am a living example. Although some fortunate few may have it all figured out early on, it’s not the case for everyone.
On a daily basis, I receive numerous messages from tech newbies who are genuinely interested but need a helping hand. Unfortunately, I often miss these messages due to my life commitments or can't always respond. It's a concerning situation, but then I remembered - I have a solution: my YouTube channel. This platform was created to reach out to those in need - to better educate and to guide.
So, I dedicated a few hours to putting this together. If you, or anyone you know, are seeking to step into the realm of coding and tech, this video will guide you.
Leave your comments and ask questions. Even if I can't reply directly, somebody in the community with more experience may have the answers you need. I hope you enjoy it!
