I'm excited to have you here as I start this thrilling journey in the field of blogging my journey to if or when I become a software engineer.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Victor, and I've always had a passion for coding and becoming a software engineer. During my free time, I enjoyed learning about C# and some Python learned at school, which further fueled my enthusiasm for software engineering. I'm eager to share my learning journey with you and build upon my skills.
In this blog, I'll be taking you through my journey so far, the path I have ahead, the challenges and excitement I anticipate, and the projects that lie on the horizon. But that's not all. I aim to create a space where we can learn, grow, and interact with like-minded individuals.
What Sparked My Interest in Software Engineering?
Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated with the idea of programming jobs and professions; it has always been an unconscious desire to become a software engineer. I have always envisioned myself pursuing a programming career and exploring its endless possibilities.
One of the main reasons i got into programming and game design was a well-known YouTuber named Brackeys. Through his tutorials, and casual tone on game development, I was inspired and motivated to dive headfirst into the world of programming and game design, eager to create my own games and bring my ideas to life.
Previous Programming Experience
During the game jam, I had the opportunity to collaborate with my friends in creating a parkour survival game. The challenge was to develop this game from scratch within just one week. The game was built using the Unity engine, and the objective was to mine resources and sell them to upgrade your equipment and overcome various obstacles. As you progress in the game, you would also need to purchase lighting equipment to illuminate the environment and prevent your character from going insane, as this would ultimately lead to losing the game.
The Learning Path Ahead
Aspirations and skills
In the future, I want to improve my software development skills by understanding programming concepts, analyzing complex problems well, and coding proficiently with a deep understanding of the underlying principles.
One of my main goals is to make a game from start to finish. I'll choose the best tools and frameworks, create a detailed design document, code the unique parts of my game, package it up, and then release it to the public. I want people to have a great time playing it!
Interesting Technologies
I am highly interested in the field of Web development. I enjoy exploring into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript intricacies to create visually appealing and successful websites. Along the way, I am constantly learning and acquiring valuable skills that will benefit me in the long run.
Another area that captivates me is game programming. The concept of player autonomy and the implementation of object-oriented coding techniques are particularly fascinating to me. I find great joy in coding interactive and engaging game mechanisms, such as card games, while ensuring that the code functions harmoniously and creates a balanced and fair gaming experience.
My Commitment
I am strongly dedicated to continually learning and growing, which is essential for personal and professional development. I'm constantly looking to gain new knowledge and skills to improve myself and stay ahead in a fast-changing world, as I welcome challenges as opportunities to grow. I'm committed to expanding my horizons and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. Learning is a lifelong journey, and I'm fully committed to embracing it.
Thank You
So, whether you're a fellow coding enthusiast, a beginner seeking inspiration (like me!), or simply curious about my experiences, I invite you to join me on this path. Together, we'll explore new technologies and overcome challenges.
Thank you for joining this journey. Now, let's dive in and discover the wonders of the coding world!
Happy coding,
Victor
