What was your first coding project (no-code counts)?

My first no-code project: https://twitter.com/kimnuyen_/st...

Before I made www.workbreakhq.com I made a software directory based on a template, no code. Highly recommend building something that isnt your “big idea” but something that you can learn from, and templates are a great way to learn no-code.

My first coding project was making a website by using HTML code

My first project was to create a registration page for a game server decades ago. Started off with videos on Youtube, forums, and Googling for HTML, CSS, and finally PHP tutorials. It was also then I realised I'd prefer coding than gaming. Especially, learning new languages and then, "wow, it works.".

Recreating the Malloc/Realloc/Free functions in C. Not very funny but super instructive!

I started working on my project when Apple released their own coding language Swift in 2014. I have always been Apple fan so I started learning it right after they released it. I wanted to be more productive on that time in my life and I was tracking my progress in normal paper sheets. As you've may already guessed, I did an app for it. It was working well for myself so I decided to share it on the App Store. And then boom! Apple featured it over there and I was shocked. Few days later Cult of Mac reviewed it as many local tech blogs as well. It was so overwhelming success that I couldn't managed to reproduce that dopamine shot level to this day 😂 best time of my life for sure.

Management Information System for Hotel Inventory & Logistics, in 2008. It was built using Visual Basic and I think MySQL database. I built it for a school project. You should try React Native or Flutter 2, they are platform independent framework (meaning they can run on Mobile, Tablet/IPad, Desktop and Web, from one codebase), they have huge communities and tutorials. I think Visual Studio Code supports both

Hello, World!

I am a veteran in food and beverage industry, started learning Python and then Django about an year and a half ago. I started with a simple blog application, converted that blog into listing site for food and beverage industry, where industry professionals can put their products, machines etc. Added few more applicattions into that site and still figuring out as to how I can add value by providing a platform where like minded professionals can add, share and enrich relevant content. A work in progress at the moment https://www.foodbevhub.com.au/ma...

I built a developer productivity tool. It was a horrible mix of a Perl script glued onto a VB6 GUI. But it was fast, had few competitors and I sold over $100,000 of them. Lessons learnt: code quality makes very little difference as long as your product "does what it says on the tin". Also the best way to learn how to code is to find a project that achieves some objective that is important in your life. For example after being cruelly made redundant I vowed never to be 100% reliant on somebody else for my income.
