Hello I'm Robert from Tucson az I saw this group and had to join i can't wait to get started and meet new people on the same journey as I am

Not because it’s perfect. Not because everyone here has a flawless resume. Not because every path has been straight. But because every single person here chose not to quit. You chose connection over isolation. You chose growth over excuses. You chose to build instead of break. And that matters. Many of us here are parents. Providers. Dreamers carrying responsibilities bigger than ourselves. Some of us are rebuilding. Some of us are rewriting our stories. Some of us are stepping into rooms our past said we didn’t belong in. But here’s the truth: Your history does not disqualify your future. The fact that you are here — learning, connecting, striving — proves something powerful. You are not trying to do this alone anymore. And that decision alone separates you from the version of you that would have stayed stuck. This community is not about pretending we have it all together. It’s about progress. It’s about accountability. It’s about building skills that change the trajectory of our families for generations. Some of us are doing this with kids watching. Some of us are doing this after setbacks. Some of us are doing this while working full time, exhausted, but refusing to give up. That’s strength. And here is my promise to you: This will be a place of real support. A place of transparency. A place where growth is expected, not optional. No ego. No gatekeeping. No pretending. We will share resources. We will share strategies. We will share wins. And when someone stumbles, we help them stand back up. Because success alone is temporary. Success together is legacy. You didn’t join this community just to learn information. You joined because you want transformation. You want better for your children. You want stability. You want freedom. You want proof that your past doesn’t define your ceiling. And I believe in that vision. If you are here, you belong here. Not because of what you’ve done. But because of what you’re willing to become. This is bigger than credentials. This is bigger than titles.

I have another resource for you guys! Seeing as how we'll be working with Git and it's good to know it from the command line vs. something like Github Desktop, voila! https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

I already know that the amount of work we'll need to put in as students is much more than the exposure our lessons will give us. People are posting about completing an entire 10-week course in 2 weeks time. So what study habits will you employ? For me I've been downloading Youtube videos and I have a large library of computer science books to refer to. That being said, I'm really excited to see what Maestro is like!
