I have several certifications which honestly I am proud of I started with the freecodecamp certifications which honestly I think is a great start (No Promotions) then I continued on it got all the certificates in it every time I got a certificate I felt a sense of accomplishment
Then came a magical course CS50 I highly recommend it not because I was a review panellist there but because it is generally the best course for beginners. It teaches all the basic concepts and every time I did a PSET I would jump out of my bed in celebration. The PSET 9 was exceptionally a huge challenge for me which was the CS50 Finance I highly recommend it to intermediate students
I then dug into Python more as usual my first code was
print("Hello, World");I felt a complete sense of entitlement towards it I then worked hard and got several certificates in python. I then did several other programming languages you can all see at toodles :]
