Starting a new adventure.
what happened this year made me think, and I started thinking about changing industry. YUP! I am a General Manager in the Restaurant business, and in the forced spare time that I have had since covid-19 hit back in March, I have felt the desire to go back to programming. What are the most popular languages now? How can I go back to learn to code, since I am out and really far from that business? I studied HTML, PHP, VISUAL BASIC when i was in school in Italy(2001–2007)What is up with the web developing?after a couple of weeks looking into C language ( which i find it really interesting and powerful, and I am also studying it) Java Script and so forth, I started over from the Web, therefore, CSS, which was new to me, HTML of course, SASS and all of those things, and here Devslopes comes to play. When I met this online Bootcamp I understood that the web programming was not the right path to start with(I think it is really important.. I will dive into it), and I switch my focus on Swift. the Apple programming language I have never heard of it, however I feel really comfortable with it, and it is really good if you do not know where to start! with this language I am learning every aspect of what exactly means programmer, programming, coding and all of these words that we use to find often nowadays.I personally find learning new things awesome and learning to code it is really helpful to organize your brain and your line of reasoning. With that being said, the main reasons that push me to want to change industry are:
1. Willing to create new things and solving problems
2. Rebooting myself with something new and challenging with the possibility to help others

Those two ideas are the fuel of my new energy, I am still working in the restaurant business, however, I am pushing my self to achieve those goals.

I will keep you posted on what struggle you might find or other positive aspects I will encounter on this path.

we will catch up soon ! and….forgive me for my English skills as you have probably understood by now, It is not my first language!
