All throughout coding, we encounter different concepts such as variables, classes, methods, if statements, and Booleans. Each of these concepts play major parts in coding especially Booleans. They are considered on and off switches or as they are commonly known for their true or false values. They are mostly used in arithmetic and logic expressions using operators such as “and”, “or” , and “not”. Booleans allow programmers to control programming structures and gain more focused and productive results. Booleans are used with the idea to control the programs people create as mentioned before they are switches, and comparators used to make coding all easier and to make checks in programs. Ruby uses it the same way as JavaScript, Python, and many other coding languages. They are universal concept to regulate, control, and test. Majority of the time, Booleans are used with if/else statements with arithmetic to see if a block of code is true or false as well as to gain a desired result. They are very useful in everyday life to learn about programs since they used in all kinds of coding languages. Boolean’s are able to help programs with checks finding the results that they want.
When I was young, I have always been infatuated with technology from the dynamic animations that are used in Microsoft Powerpoint to the latest Video Games coming out every month. Technology has always been apart of my life from the beginning. When I was in the fourth grade, I used to be on the computer non-stop, because of my love for technology. As I grew older the interest and love for technology only grew. When I got to college, I took a web development course and created my first website. It was energizing to able to create something for the public to see, and I wanted to do it again. Although my passion at the time was split between game design and web development, I wanted to both. After college, I wanted to make games, but it was hard to do. This prompted me to look into web development more and more. It was then, I created my second website using a website builder. It felt good, but it was not the same as when I made it from scratch. I was recommended by a good friend to look into learning Software Development and becoming a Front-End Developer. I was already excited, I used to be at work looking on Codepen.io and seeing all the amazing things developers would be creating. It was mesmerizing to see what you can do with the knowledge of the web. Software development will be able to help me achieve my goals of connecting more with technology, public, and many more.
