Why Learning Your Second Coding Language 'Should' Be Easier



Active Reading: Crack Coding with the Bard

When thinking of an idea for a blog I tried to think about using a personal experience that other coders could benefit from. But I’ve only been coding for 6 months, and I come from the world of acting. What can I write, as a rookie, that others might see genuine contribution in? Well, I’ve l been learning lines for various shows since I was a kid. And honestly, the most asked question I ever got as an actor had nothing to do how I related to a character, or if something from my personal life helped me. No, the question I was most often asked was,” How did you memorize all those lines?” That was consistently the most anticipated question from my Grandma to some annoyed teenagers who were clearly dragged in to support someone’s cousin or something, to OTHER THEATRE PROFESSIONALS. At all levels of acting, I encountered it. It was a little funny and a little disappointing. You know, you’re trying to be an ‘artist’ and whatnot and people are looking at you like you pulled a 30-foot handkerchief out of your mustache.
