Hello there, I'm Jawdat(pronounced: JHao-Da-T), a self-taught backend programmer.
I have been into programming for the last three years but rarely committed seriously until the start of this very year.
For the last three years, I have made 5 Games using Godot Engine and posted all of them on my itch.io Page (https://lnkd.in/dB98ktmb).
I have also worked for a friend of mine on the server side of a tourism service application using Java and Firebase - although I was new to both of them back then - but we, unfortunately, dropped the project before it was complete. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about my past experiences and what I have created, But I wanted to give you all a brief intro before I dive right into my main topic.
I just finished reading "Django for Beginners: Build Websites with Python and Django" by William S. Vincent. I have to say that it's such a brilliant book that expresses many complicated things in the simplest of ways. I would recommend this book to anyone that is just starting with Django and wants to figure out how the majority of the fundamental things in Django framework work.
I want to make it clear that:
1- I'm not paid to promote this book.
2- I'm just speaking my mind on it.

After I understood the projects that the book uses to explain many functionalities, I decided to start working on my own first project.
Today I started planning my models and the work flow of my web app
and I will be posting weekly about the progress of developing my firts complete -decent sized - web app.
The thought of posting daily here is like a motivation for me to keep going and never drop the project.
I'm planning to land my first Job as soon as possible since I'm starting college this fall semester. I read many articles that the LinkedIn Dev community is wholesome and supporting more than any other platform.
I thought that people who are more experienced than me can provide some valuable advice after reading my posts and I can keep earning and sharing knowledge through these series of posts.
Tasks that I finished today:
