"It is good to have and end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matter in the end."
This quote has really helped me put things into perspective, trying to enjoy the journey and not just wishing to get to the end.
This blog is a record of my journey along the pathway of learning to program in C++. I took programming classes in college, but I just endured to the end of class rather than take the time to really learn and understand what was being taught. Now I find myself programming for a living and I have really grown to love it. I look back to my college wishing I had paid more attention to what was being taught in those programming classes that I took.
Now, if I find myself wishing I had a little program to perform a task to make my day easier, I'll write one. Sometimes I won't stop thinking about it until I have it up and running, and sometimes after that I think of all the new and better features I want to add.
I'm hoping to take as many classes I can to gain the knowledge and skills I need to accomplish any programming project that I can think up.
My goal is to write two posts a week about what I am learning currently in my programming journey. Each post will be like a checkpoint along my journey, and even though my end goal is to become a better programmer, I am enjoying each little step along the way.
