Starting off...

Back in mid-February 2018, I started to learn to code in C++; a vital skill for entering the gaming and IT industry. I started with a YouTube video by Yan Cherinokov aka "The Cherno", who previously worked as a Software Engineer at Electronic Arts in Melbourne, Australia. I went in not really knowing what to expect, perhaps it would be hyper focused on mathematics or the syntax would be confusing and archaic (I mean it was developed back in the 1980s). Well, fear not! It's way easier than you think, it's about thinking logically and having a deep understanding of what every line means. Seriously, Get started today - it's really cool and rewarding!

software - Visual Studio
2019 / 2022 / CODE

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, 2022 and Code as my IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) and text editors. It's widely used, very in-depth with a ton of functionality and the community version  is free. Check it out here: https://www.visualstudio.com/

GitHub

GitHub is a web-based file-repository system with branching and syncing mechanisms to improve team-based development of coding.
