Welcome to Coding Newbie!  For those of you that are visiting for the first time, allow me to explain what this site is all about.  I am teaching myself programming from the ground up, and I would like to share this experience with you all.  In the short time I have dedicated to learning programming so far, I’ve come to the abrupt realization that this will not be an easy journey by any stretch.  When I came to this understanding, I couldn’t help but think that I wasn’t the only one out there struggling.  That was when I decided to make this website and dedicate it to drawing in all those coding newbies from around the world.  I have high hopes that the community founded by this website will inspire and motivate each and every one of you to continue pushing on with your studies.

Now, a quick bit about myself:  That guy in the picture is me, Adam Schmidt.  I am the proud founder of Coding Newbie.  I am a 24-year-old sailor in the United States Navy.  My Navy occupation is to operate and maintain the NATO Seasparrow Missile System.  Despite the hours being long and the underway periods painful, I am grateful that the Navy has helped me support my family thus far.  When I’m not working on the website I’m usually tending to my two daughter’s seemingly infinite list of needs (with pleasure, of course) or fixing up my house in one way or another.

I’m looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you.  If you’d like to tag along in my educational journey, please head on over to my blog!
