jvr Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Hello everybody! My name is Javier, I moved to the US in my 30's as many immigrants with no money, no english and no family, twenty years later I'm ready to start my new adventure, web development! I have no skills in coding (very basic). I know I will find a lot of knowledge in these forums. Since I was in high school I wanted to work with computers, but never have a chance until now, I love play the guitar and I have an obsession with dominate the Vim text editor (is a personal challenge). My goal is to became a full-stack developer I'm interested in learning HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, Python, and some frameworks in the future. Thank you, and let's start it ! (well, I'm waiting for my e-mail to start the classes, I just bought it) 5 1

Rachelle Posted July 4, 2020 Report Posted July 4, 2020 Hi Javier! I'm 52 and I've just started to make a serious effort to learn to code. I hope all is going well for you... 1
MarkW Posted August 10, 2020 Report Posted August 10, 2020 Hey there jvr. I'm 50 myself and just getting started, so you're definitely not alone. Glad to know there are other late-bloomers here. Mark 1
DanielGarcia Posted August 20, 2020 Report Posted August 20, 2020 Hey all, I'm almost in the 50 club! I just turned 49 in June. It's good to see that I'm not the only who decided to learn code at this age. I just started and I am loving it so far. Wishing you well, Daniel 2

Miro Posted December 4, 2020 Report Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Glad to see the older guys here. My name is Miro and I am 41 years old, from Split, Croatia. I have purchased webdev course maybe a year a go but I didn't have time until now to deep dive (former tower crane operator, but also worked in the office drawing blueprints in AutoCAD). My OS of choice is Linux because it's feel natural for coding. Probably I will start with Wordpress with parallel learning html, css to see is this for me or not Also greetings to the best teacher for this kind of work.... Stef Edited December 17, 2020 by Miro

Jhowardjr73 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Posted April 4, 2021 Hi all! Life long nerd and new coder here. It is definitely reassuring to see people my age just starting this journey! I'm 48. 2
Jhowardjr73 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Compared to a 169 year old, and considering I plan on living another 200 years, that's true! Edited April 8, 2021 by Jhowardjr73

JohnVHerman Posted February 6, 2022 Report Posted February 6, 2022 I guess I fit the grandpa coder demographic, although I am not a grandpa, but I am 61.
