After teaching myself the basics, building some scrapers and playing with APIs I have finally found my passion. Makers Academy, being a project-based course with continuous pair-programming and test-driven development at its core, has provided me with solid foundations for becoming a full stack developer (Ruby, RoR, Angular JS, D3.js) and future codepreneur with a previous background in Biochemistry/Biotechnology, CIMA/Accounting and growth hacking/SEO.
