Many times, when we were beginner programmers, we believed that the language we are most comfortable with is the best, and that other languages are wrong and are not useful for whatever task we are assigned. Many times, we see that that logic is not always correct. Experienced programmers know that different programming languages have different capabilities and different uses, and that you wont always use the same language in a job. While you might be able to do the same job with a certain programming language as with another, that doesn’t mean that there are better ways to do it.

Hello, My name is Anuar Rivera I like to play videogames, my favorites being of the RPG genre, like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft and other games like The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon. I also like different animated TV shows like Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls and Japanese shows like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Overlord and Attack on Titan. I mostly enjoy reading Japanese manga like One Piece, Hajime no Ippo and One Punch Man but I also enjoy fantasy novels like the Harry Potter series and Lord of the Rings. Among other hobbies I enjoy roller skating, playing tabletop games and while I tried to learn to play the guitar, it was never my strong point, although I enjoy mostly classic rock music like AC DC, Toto, A-ha and Oingo Boingo. Although I don't know what to expect of the course, I hope its something that will help me understand and develop a different method of programming that will help me in the near future
