If you are reading this I am going to make two assumptions:  You are learning to code.  You enjoyed Andy Weir's first novel and/or the movie adaptation of  The Martian .  @kjpargeter I'm a huge fan of all of Mr. Weir's work. It just so happened I was reading The Martian at the start of a 15-week Fullstack Software Engineering course. I began to notice how many similarities I felt between Mark Watney's struggle to stay alive on a barren planet and my own struggles to stay afloat as an intense workload wave came crashing down on me. Fortunately for me, while the bootcamp workload pummeled me it did not cause bodily damage. Unfortunately for The Martian's leading man, Mark Watney, the communications antennae that penetrated through his thoracic cavity caused his companions to assume him dead and leave him behind whilst escaping a violent martian windstorm that nearly stranded the entire crew. But I digress... Now let's get to the reason yo...

Welcome! I'm glad you are here. I'm Morgan Hobbs and I am a Fullstack Software Engineering student at Flatiron School . My journey as a student in a 15-week full-time bootcamp has begun in the middle of reading Andy Weir's  first novel   The Martian . As such, it seems the only appropriate and logical way for me to share my journey with you would be to use space travel analogies.   I will be your intergalactic guide as we journey to Mars (and learn some coding along the way).   You might think the biggest challenge to overcome when learning to code is learning how to problem solve. You may be right.  “At some point, everything's gonna go south on you... everything's going to go south and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem... and you solve the next one... and then the next. And If you solve enou...
