I’m wanting to do a few camping trips with friends and I’m also going back to school for a second degree! It’s gonna be packed, but I really wanna get outside more this summer, before the smoke rolls in. Do y’all have any fun plans?

    I’m not sure if it’s fun in the traditional sense, but I’m going to learn Python! I’ve been really unhappy in a dead-end (non retail) job and I’m hoping to branch out into tech for better opportunities (and perhaps benefits that don’t require me to use my PTO to cover mandatory holidays…) It will be a lot of work, but so far the tiny bit I have done has been really fun!

      Good luck to you! Python was the first language that I ever learned and it has led to a very stable and secure job that I actually enjoy (funnily enough, NOT programming Python but Java). It is good to have the outlook that it will be a lot of work; I’ve attempted learning to program on a number of occasions and was very frustrated with how difficult it was. The payoff will be great! I haven’t been on their site for a number of years, but I learned at code academy. The interactive courses where you can develop in-browser was invaluable to my ‘visual learning’ nature.

      Honestly that does sound really fun! The best thing about coding is that once you’ve learned to do it decently in one language, you can pick other languages up really easy. Good luck!
