A couple of years ago I had no idea what a Software Engineer or Developer was. I couldn't write a single line of code. I was a History graduate and a full-time parent to two little boys.

Fast forward to today...I not only know what a Software Engineer is, but I actually am one. A real life Software Engineer, working for a real life Software Engineering company, writing code day in, day out. I know, I'm surprised too.

Starter for Ten? What's that?

When I started learning to code, as someone with very little technical background, I struggled to grasp some of the most basic concepts at first. All the tutorials, blogs and lessons I found assumed a certain level of prior knowledge, which I did not have.

In an effort to fix that, I am writing very basic, very quick introductions to important Software Engineering concepts for anyone who finds themselves in the same situation. If you're here, hello 👋. Enjoy!

Check out my homepage for the latest in the Starter for Ten series.
