What was your first coding project (no-code counts)?

What was your first project and how did you get started? Curious how makers get started in their journey and learn the skills they need to create something. Any advice for makers who have an idea but don't know where to start in the building journey?

My first coding project was code to decrypt text and figure out the cipher key used to encrypt the text. For example, H BC B RDZ decrypts to I AM A BOY Was a C++ project making use of Reading dictionary(to figure out words) and used binary search to search if a word was a valid word in dictionary. This was back when i had no knowledge about Data Structures. Later figured out dictionary search could have been implemented using Trie's or could have made use of a HashMap as well haha.

My first project actually began when I was very young. I had started writing small scripts and programs to get used to what I was actually doing. Fast forward 14-ish years, I have begun working on my actually first project with a business model and product. For those who are newly looking into creating something, I would highly recommend just exploring the area first. Find tutorials on how to create examples that are similar to what you want to make. And keep doing this. If you can't find education through school, education through experience and practice is the next best thing. Also, my favorite motivator is knowing that failing often is better because then you learn more for next time.

@hans_husurianto1 Awesome Hans~ thanks for sharing. Going off tutorials to learn how to create a copy is a great first step, def agree.

My first business was related to online games. It was in 2004, when game producers didn't use pay for win model as they do now. My business model was very simple: pay for game subscription, configure bot, which mine ingame gold and sell for real money. It was 4 years journey, during this time I learned programming, web development and ad. I don't think this experience is actual any more. I shared it for demonstrate not-uniq idea: "find your passion, it is a key to grow and success". It is actual any time, but I don't know how exactly find your passion.

@nikita_galkin thanks for sharing and that's a cool story! Something similar can be done with exploring games in the metaverse on the blockchain :) As for passion~ I guess we have to stay curious and we'll know once we find it.

Back in the day one of the first big things I made was a custom Tumblr theme. Was able to learn a lot and got featured in the Tumblr theme store

My FIRST project for was for the Illinois State History fair back in (gasp) 1993. I made the Al Capone Quiz game that won state honors on a now defunct software and computer. LOL.

My first project was data analysis and modelling using Python - I had taught myself how to code during downtime when working as a management consultant. My advice would be get started now because you just need a few hours a week to develop some potentially life-changing skills. Whether its learning how to code, or via the many great no-code tools out there, it's never been easier for non-technical people to turn ideas into software.
Gabe Perez
@aaron_tran2 that's a good use of downtown and also inspiring. No-code right now is a brilliant way to get things off the ground.
