I have always been interested in computers. Couple years ago I started to study Visual Basic on my own initiative. I was motivated to do so I could use this skill at my work place. I was able to automate some of the daily activities to make my life bit easier and to become more efficient. I was working in a big Aerospace company in UK. I worked in Supply chain, in Operations and in Logistics. Over period of three years I developed a number of tools for our company. As the time progressed I became better and batter in Visual Basic. I had a lot of success and very good performance thanks to the tools I made which in turn progressed my career. In the end I packed my job in under voluntary redundancy in order to go and travel 1 year in Philippines. For the last 2 years I have been thinking that coding was one of the things that really made me happy. So now being back in my home country in Estonia I'm taking steps to become a junior software developer. This decision came in a good time as in Estonia they are just launching a pilot project to train 500 people as junior software developers (in Java and .Net environment) over the next few years. They are creating this super-duper intensive 14 weeks crash course (6 weeks of academic stud and 8 weeks of internship - partnered with some of of the IT companies in Estonia). The courses start in January. Hopefully I will get selected. I'm already learning Java. I'm using Head First Java second edition as my study book and I'm following "thenewboston" on Youtube of his Java for beginners series (the guy Bucky is awesome, really awesome series, would definitely recommend). I'm really doing my best to make this work and hopefully to steer my life in a desired direction. Will definitely use stackoverflow as I always have some questions but I do not have anybody right now to ask these questions.
