This is my first coding experience, and a blog is a cool and easy way to start making something practical with it!
I will put some pictures of my trips and some thoughts that come up in my mind (nevermind the grammar/spelling). Enjoy!
...to start: a little bit of context.
Hello! I am Marco, 26 from Italy. I graduated in engineering in 2018 and, after a short period of working, I decided to take some months off for travelling!
In order to "make my time productive", while donig something that can be considered an holiday, I decide to learn how to code. The reasons are two:
- Back in real life, when I will be in front of the HRs for getting a serious job, I can say: "Hey! I was chilling for bunch of months, but forgive me! PLZ LOOK! I can program now!"
- I think an awesome opportunity that my generation has is to learn to work online, and hopefully never come back to an office. You can become very flexible in facing a turbolet job market, and, most important: GEOGRAPHICAL ARBITRAGE! That is: earning in USD and spending in Thai Bath: that is: working for an American client, getting paid decent amount of dollars: that is: live LIKE A KING/BOSS in an exotic place such as Thailand, while you are happly working on a beach on the PhiPhi island. It is not that easy, but you have to start from somewhere...
About the code.
The website is entirely coded, using HTML and CSS. Hosted on Github, and with GoDaddy as a Domain provider (I feel so cool talking about "Hosting" and "DNS", I just leaned what they are, more or less). Time by time, I will learn something new and I will make my blog super awesome. If you want to see the evolution of this website week by week, come and make a visit once in a while! The idea is to learn Javascript and SQL after, to build more complex websites and apps.
