It quickly became obvious that the professors were trying to use the class to filter out students - so many of the enrollees on day one made it through the semester. The class was taught in C++, which, unbeknown to me was supposed to be learned over the summer before the class. The next semester, I enrolled in a Data Structures and Algorithms course which was next in the computer science sequence. I quickly decided to minor in computer science, and I just wanted to write more code.
It honestly came pretty easy to me, and I had a ton of fun. Over the course of that class, I built a Tic Tac Toe script with a GUI to input pieces and a Flappy Bird clone. They had printed the code and just had us type it in and run it - I was immediately hooked. So coding was brand new to me when I took that Python class in college.Īs soon as I walked into the classroom, they had us type Python code into Idle, a text editor that comes with the Python language. My high school definitely did not have any coding classes, they barely had functioning computers! I didn't play video games or engage in activities that traditionally lead to kids learning how to code either. I thought we would learn how to use Microsoft Word and Excel - I genuinely had no idea what code was. I had an untraditional path to writing code - I randomly enrolled in a computer science class during my sophomore year of college because I had an extra credit hour and I was curious what it was about.
