    It's the same with goals in life. I've stated one of my 2015 targets as 'learn to code'.

Hey me too! Tried earlier this year and it didn't go too far because of other projects and then trying to keep my grades up, but I really want to try and learn it this time around (shoutout to insomniasexx for being an amazing source of knowledge on these things).

Currently: Downloading Ubuntu, a Virtual Box, and then going to install Ubuntu in the VB and then setting up LAMP and everything else in Ubuntu. I think that will work for now so that I can use Linux instead of Windows and make it easier to follow along with The Odin Project. It's the most amazing resource I've found so far, part of my problem earlier this year was Codecademy and textbooks weren't doing it for me, but this site seems to go above and beyond those. However, it teaches Ruby instead of Python so I'm going to have to find some other place to learn that after.
