Lesson #1: Hello World

Let’s crawl before we try to run. 🏃

I have a love/hate relationship with new beginnings ❤️. On one hand, I love challenging myself with learning new concepts, ideas, or skills. But on the other hand, that means I start all over - from the very beginning. And that process, takes hours of hard work, grit, and dedication 😅.

Often the people I strive to be like are on level 58 👾, while I’m here still deciding if I want to buy the game or not! Now don’t get me wrong, it is great to have role models and people to look up to, but that should not discourage you from the place you are starting from. It is a process... ⏳

“Even the greatest was once a beginner. Don't be afraid to take that first step. ” - Muhammad Ali

Goodness gracious, I hate when I hear this phrase^.. BUT HOW TRUE?! No one started out being the best 🏆. They all had to learn how to crawl before they were able to run 👟.

In computer science, the Hello World 👋🌍program is the entry point to any new technology. If you can learn how to do the most simple of things right first, the rest will fall in line. You’ll be able to connect the dots and build upon the knowledge and skillset you already have.🛠

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel 🎡, when the wheel is performing well. Go through Github’s tutorial on how to get started in github before going onto the next lesson.
