Are you curious about becoming a software developer but unsure where to start?

This ebook is a practical, encouraging guide for anyone looking to break into tech — especially if you don’t have it all figured out yet. Written by a self-taught developer and current Computer Science student actively building apps and growing in the field, this book strips away the fluff and gives you a real-world perspective on how to get started, stay consistent, and build your first projects with confidence.

Inside, you’ll discover:

✅ Daily mindset shifts that keep you motivated
✅ What you actually need to learn first (and what to ignore)
✅ Tools, resources, and platforms I personally use
✅ A look at my journey — from game design dreams to becoming the dedicated Dev I am today
✅ Real talk about imposter syndrome, consistency, and finding your pace

This book is also a tribute to my late friend Clarence, a Principal Engineer who inspired my path and helped me see what’s possible when you take pride in your craft.

Whether you're switching careers, studying CS, or learning after hours — From Beginner to Builder will help you take the first step with clarity, confidence, and real direction.
