29 years old… I want to try again
Another post asking for tips as a beginner. I’m so sorry… haha. I have no background in CS other than when I gave it a try maybe 8 years ago in community college but I was not in a place where I was focused enough. The teacher also just didn’t mesh well with me. Anyway, I now am a stay at home mom, she’s going to be 4 later this year and I keep coming back to this want to try programming again, keeps creeping up in my mind for the past 2 years.
Has anyone in here taken this course specifically while parenting? Am I in over my head? Is there anything I should do to prepare? My ultimate goal as far as what I’d want my job/role to be is still unclear, I feel taking CS50P first and then taking CS50 or CS50x might click with me better than the other way around. I’m someone who thrives in a trade setting as far as learning, so that’s a big reason why I feel learning Python first can help me kickstart. If that makes sense? Because it’s focusing on strictly just a language and I’m not being bombarded with the whole concept of comp sci, software engineering…
I just want to make sure I’m taking the proper courses to set myself up to be versatile. I am open to going back to school but I’d like to get myself into the programming realm first before committing to school… in the “realm” meaning learning it and seeing if it’s something I can see myself committing to proper school wise. But I’d love tips on how it can be done without a degree.
