Congrats and I'm glad to know that you got your inspiration from someone here on Steemit :) It's SO important to have the right support and guidance, especially in the first months of learning a language. I've been coding in C++ for almost half a year, and can say that as soon as you get the basics, all hard work will definitely pay off! If you have a coder friend, why not make a few small competitions, where you both have to code the same thing, but in your own way and language? Then at the end, you compare and see which one has done best and/or quickest. I found that to be a super fun way to learn :) Here is how I started, just in case you're curious :P Happy Steeming, and looking forward to your next posts!
