My Journey To The Computing World. Thanks Everyone
The journey to the Computing world, in this topic I will mention the people who pushed me into computing world. As usual, let’s start from the beginning. As all normal kids, whenever I asked what I am going to be in future, the answer will be “Police”, “Doctor”, “Lawyer”, and you guys know the list. Never in a thousand times I thought I would be a software engineer and I never knew this kinda job existed at that time. So, where does all of this begin? Here come the first character that are responsible for it; Azhar, he is my cousin and he is one year older than me. in 2007, we went to INDIA and I have no idea how he got this idea
of getting involved in the computing world, I guess it is inside the indian genes .
The First & Second
Once we back to Malaysia , I totally forgot about it
but not him. He went to look for a computer training center and he found one . He told me about it and I told my parents about it, and my parents totally supported me and didn’t ask any questions . Second, My parents are another main reason why I am in computing world. Full support without any rules, in fact they don’t even know what course of computing I am going to study. They just support me. Feel so blessed and awesome. The first course that I took is “Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, & PowerPoint)”. Had a wonderful teacher and we learned fast. But this Microsoft Office is not the reason I me into the computing world.
PC maintenance is the course that attracts me to the computing world. The teacher who taught me showed some basic programming using batch file
. It looks so cool and most importantly looks like a hacker . At this time I made up my mind to become a Network guy, reason? I actually don’t know the actual reason. My best guess is, my teacher is good in networking and he look like a very pro, so that is how I made up my mind to become a networking guy
The Dive
I take a diploma & degree in Computer Science
, at this time still I want to become a Network engineer. Here comes the 3rd and most important person that makes me a programmer. Of course another main reason is the teacher but he is the one that pulls the trigger . His name is Joel. He is my classmate and he is the main reason I do coding now. The story begins like this;
Far far away there is an island called <Hello World />
. Nah, it didn’t start like that. Let’s go to the actual story.
Joel got a freelance project and he invited anyone who is free to join. I am not sure why but somehow I say I wanna join. I didn’t do any coding until 1 month from the date line or so. Then Joel asked me,
Conversation Mode: ON
Joel : did I do anything, if yes please show the work (in the coding world we call “commit”)
Me : I say to him, sorry bro I think I need to back off
Joel : (He nicely replied to me) it’s ok if you do little because you already promise to do some. Now if you backoff without doing anything it is not good
This is the words that become a motivational speech to me and automagically I am so fired up to do the work.
This become my first ever mobile app and I so much fall in love with Programming.
Me : Ok Joel, I will do it and brief me the task again. Thanks Man
Conversation Mode: OFF
Done, this is basically the full story of how I become a programmer. The journey was so amazing and everytime I think about it I feel really blessed. Awesome partners and priceless experience. They are the 3 main figures whom is responsible. I would like to take this opportunity to Thank them million times and a 5 star for them . Thank You !!!
