The other day I wanted to start a new project, experiment thing to to learn how something worked. I got totally distracted and forgot what I wanted to work on. This seems to happen more and more lately too since there are so many things I really want to learn. I get so distracted with reading about those things that I forget to actually even start the thing.

I did finally start the one thing I did say I wanted to start though and that is to learn a new programming language. For the last 3 months I’ve wanted to dive into something new. A lot of that being because I actually like to know how things works and communicate. That was one of the bigger reasons I wanted to learn PHP and JavaScript.

The other day I jotted down on a piece of paper what I wanted to learn and because the way my brain decided to work the next day I wound up looking up random NodeJS things and that wasn’t even what I wanted to look up. It was in fact the Go language.

I began a course on it and what is super nice is that I am glad I did. There are somethings that I felt very comfortable with and some which were new to me. This was a great feeling. I do miss that.

The part that really caught my attention the most was I had already completed two courses on the site. One was SQL and the other being React. To be honest I forgot I even took the React course so that made me chuckle a little bit.

I think the reason I really liked it was because I do see a lot of the similarities between all the other languages I’ve wanted to learn and have learned.

I was able to get through at least half way done with the course today so that was a good thing. I’ll have to get back to it throughout the week and hopefully do more down the line too.
