Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, we all remember our first project, Id love to hear about.

Passion Project, Work project, School Assignment. I'd love to see what inspired others to learn programming failed or successful.

Alright!

My first project was a text based trivia game. I was following a tutorial from Tech with Tim. I was in 2nd grade. I was sitting with my mom trying to figure out why it wasn't working (i didn't close the quotes probably 8 times lol). That was what got it all started!

Wow in second grade? That's awesome, it takes real perseverance to code that young and spark a passion. Can't wait to see your most recent work!

Started Late, around high school. It began as just a passion project for my robotics club(Was very difficult for me starting on). Then I started using some of my free time to learn programming and languages. I eventually went for C++.

I'll start

My first ever project my professor had assigned to us was to code a number guessing game . Very common to understand loops, random numbers, user input. I still remember the late nights trying to understand it all.
