Self Introduction
- This is the story of an unskilled NEET who started programming in 2020/6.
- My favorite languages are Rust, TypeScript, PowerShell, and Python.
Brief history of programming since I started
2019/12:
- I started learning Java on paiza.
- However, I got bored quickly because I couldn’t make the program (GUI) I had in mind.
- I felt that I wasn’t good at programming and lost interest in it.
2020/6:
- The word “AI” made me start programming again.
- My friend was busy writing his thesis, so we couldn’t play Monster Hunter together for a while.
- Also, I was interested in the source code of the save data modification editor for Monster Hunter Double Cross, which was made in C #.
2020/7:.
- It took me a month to learn and understand the basic syntax of Python class inheritance. It was pretty tough.
2020/8.
- I tried learning machine learning at PyQ, a pay site that costs 3,040 yen/month.
- The math was too difficult for me, as I graduated from a bottom-ranked high school with a deviation of 36, and I couldn’t fully understand it.
- I also created an Android app using Kotlin, a language designed to make Java easier to write. However, I only mimicked the samples on Google’s official website, and I hardly understood the meaning of the syntax.
2020/9:.
- Annoyed by sites that forbid copying and pasting, I start learning JavaScript, which will be my partner in the future, at MDN.
- Understand prototype in a week. (Because it was almost similar to classes).
- Learn the basics of HTML and CSS at the same time.
2020/10 - 2020/12
- MDN has a lot of information, but there are also a lot of descriptions that are difficult to understand, which makes it difficult for me to develop my skills as much as I would like.
- As a result, learning becomes increasingly difficult and I slack off for a while.
2021/1.
- Took Udemy’s [JavaScript & CSS] Thorough Practice of Web Development for People Who Really Want to Learn (Front End). This was a hit, and I learned all the way through, regaining a sense of growth and enjoyment.
- I also bought A Logical Explanation of JavaScript Behavior: The Road to Intermediate JavaScript and learned it well, and JavaScript became completely fun. I’m having a lot of fun with JavaScript.
2021/2:
- Reviewed the course I took in January.
2021/3:
2021/3: Learn about modern front-end development techniques using Node.js.
2021/3: Learn modern front-end development methods with Node.js. I took a course called Introduction to Webpack Environment Construction for Active Engineers with Babel｜Sass｜Eslint and finished it in three days. I got tendinitis from typing too much on the hard key-touch keyboard.
Since then, I’ve been unable to write code properly due to tendinitis. That’s not to say that I didn’t take in any information at all, I was constantly scouring programming news articles and reading the documentation for Vue, a UI framework.
2021/4:
- Began writing Vue and learning more about TypeScript.
- However, I soon developed a severe pain in my fingers and could not type properly.
2021/5:
- Purchased a high-end capacitance-free keyboard for about 25,000 yen. It was a hit and I was able to type again. Started studying again.
- Started working on React.
2021/6:
- I try to create a blog with React (create-react-app, Next.js).
- I finally understood class components from the official documentation, but I had to relearn that modern development uses function components and Hooks, which at the time were called Advanced in the documentation. useEffect and useState were difficult to use.
2021/7:
- I found TypeScript interesting, and started to look for information on Qiita and Zenn. uhyo’s article was especially useful for me.
2021/8:
- 2021/8: Learned about scoop, a package manager for windows. This will be very helpful for me.
- Setting up the development environment for PowerShell Core.
2021/9:
- Update to windows 11 beta. Although I was afraid of the bug that the screen becomes black and white and unresponsive when I change the color theme, I was delighted by the joy of being able to bring WSL GUI to windows, and even more delighted by the existence of an official package manager called winget.
2021/11:
- Discovered Rust, was impressed by the ease of installation using rustup, read the official Japanese documentation, and was moved to tears by the beauty of Rust’s syntax.
- Rust is the language of the moment, with execution speed comparable to C and C++, and an ownership system that allows for safe programming.
2021/12:
- I learn about dotfiles, a program to set up a development environment, and start writing a program to automatically build a windows development environment, following the example of others.
