My first steps into the programming industry

2006: First Computer

As I wrote in the "About Me" post, our house met the computer for the first time in 2006 in Ardahan, where my family was born. I remember that day; I didn't know what I was going to do. One of my friends installed a lot of games on my computer then the connection between the computer and me started. After several months, I had already started copying CDs and selling them to people. BTW, we still didn't have internet.

2007 - 2008: Introduction to HTML

The next year we moved back to Istanbul, and I started in the middle of school, and we got the Internet. I was lucky because we had a computer class, and our teacher gave me a printout that contained 5-6 pages of HTML code. A few days later, after a lot of trying, I asked the teacher, "How can I publish the websites to Google?"

2009: CMS World

I was collecting the computer magazines, and one of the issues had an amazing booklet. Joomla & WordPress.

I read every word of that booklet and studied. Then, no surprise, I learned a lot of things about WordPress. How to install it? How to configure the template? How to install the plugin? Also, I published a lot of posts about it. But the most important part is that I started freelancing. To be honest, I was a cheap worker. But I earned money, and it gave me extra motivation.

Also, I started high school and was known as a computer guy. I continued my freelance career with the school website. "kocasinanlisesi.net"

Besides these stories, I was improving myself in SEO and AdSense and built websites for AdSense income. (zevkliblog.com)

2013: Computer Engineering

Again, without any surprise, I started a bachelor's in Computer Engineering. To be honest, I struggled in my classes, and my main interest was always building a team, doing something, and earning money.

2015: Finally! First real job!

I struggled with a lot of classes, but finally, I got started on my career as a professional in May 2015 when I was studying.

(One day, when I was walking home. I saw my computer teacher, who gave me HTML prints. We talked, and he told me that I could reach him if I wanted to do an internship.

I was also working daily jobs sometimes, like welcoming customers at the event gate in a suit, and I thought about the teacher's words. So I texted him and had an interview with the company, and then my career started.)
