A Backend Story

This story is quite intriguing as I would not call myself a Backend Engineer or Programmer yet.
I am a person with no background at all in backend programming except the basic CSC 201 class that taught us little to nothing about Python programming. All I knew was, there was something called languages, environments and a bit of their differences. We were forced to download them on our laptops back then to do projects and all.
But then, I was opportune to be employed by an accrediting company which uses SQL databases for their basic project operations. This is because they run most of their accrediting software locally due to network provider connection issues. That is where I got to know about PHP, CSS, HTML and other technologies.

I was fascinated, and I still am. I started getting the developer to put me through some basic things like how to connect to SQL and stuff like that. I guess he taught me so I would be able to handle accrediting projects on my own.
And yes, after a while, I was and I was promoted also. How happy I was but I wanted and still want more. So I started research and found a lot of websites willing to teach, but it wasn't challenging enough for me and I pushed them aside until I stopped entirely.

Well, that was until I found out about HNG internship program, it is a free Boot Camp apparently and it boasts of having a competitive workspace which I'm sure can hold my attention.
This is a journey I would like to begin with just a step in the right direction via HNG. If you would like to join me on my journey, click any of the links below

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step they say, I would say my journey into the tech world begins with this post.

I'm a brilliant analytical individual who discovered I have an affinity for numbers and lines of code. I mean I became fascinated with how coding works and while I don't know most functions, I can interpret the basic lines of code and believe me, I do not have any background.

I mean, this post is supposed to be about frontend technologies like HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, JQUERY and the likes but I know so little about them.
Yes, I have done my research on some of them, especially HTML and CSS and found their uniqueness to be quite confusing. Which is why I need guidance in this newly started journey.
This is where HNG comes in, a free BootCamp where all my worries can be solved. The niche they are going for is ReactJS and this has brought up my learning appetite.
I daresay I do not know anything about it and my research skills have been awakened.

I guess this post is really about getting mentored but if you would like to join me on my journey and watch me grow. You can use any of the links below, it's never too late to start.

I know there will be ups and downs but I'm counting on them, because how then will I grow if I don't face a bit of challenge?
PS: I'm kinda going in for the adrenaline rush also.

Well, this is it for this post.
