My journey from language courses to studying software engineering was challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I am convinced that with determination and perseverance, any goal can be achieved. As a social worker in the Czech Republic, I always found fulfillment in helping others. However, I’ve always been fascinated by technology and enjoyed experimenting with web development in my spare time. When I moved to the UK in 2020, I aspired to combine my passion for IT with my professional growth. Initially, I sought employment in the social work field but quickly realized that to obtain the qualifications required for the UK job market, further study was necessary. This led me to focus on areas I’d previously enjoyed – design and IT. To be accepted into university, I had to meet the entry requirements, which included passing English language and mathematics exams at Functional Skills Level 2. Concurrently, I enrolled in a year-long IT Systems and Principles course at Blackpool and Fylde College. This course provided me with a solid foundation in programming and opened doors to the captivating world of IT. Motivated by my success in the initial course, I decided to pursue higher education and applied to study Software Engineering. Now, as I delve into C++ programming, I appreciate the importance of the strong foundation I built in my previous courses. The journey from being a Czech social worker, through intensive language studies and IT fundamentals, to becoming a future software engineer has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful for every obstacle I’ve overcome as they’ve led me to where I am today.

GitHub: A Beginner’s Guide to Version Control and Collaboration

GitHub is like a personal exhibition where you can display all your projects, from the smallest to the most ambitious. It’s a versioning platform, which means it allows you to track changes to your code over time and revert to previous versions. Versioning is essential for collaborating on projects, backing up your code, and keeping track

Guessing game in C++

As part of an introductory programming course, I created an interactive guessing game in C++. The game generates a random number that the player tries to guess in as few attempts as possible.  During development, I focused on implementing algorithms for generating random numbers and efficiently processing user input. This project helped me deepen my
