My Programming Journey: From Zero to MERN Stack

When I started my engineering journey at Ideal Institute Of Engineering in 2024, I had no idea that programming would become such a passion of mine. Looking back, I can see how each step led me to where I am today.

The Beginning

My first encounter with programming was through C language in my college curriculum.

```c #include <stdio.h>

int main(void) { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; } ```

That tiny program opened a whole new world.

Discovering Web Development

After C came the web trio:

• HTML for structure
• CSS for style
• JavaScript for interactivity

Why MERN?

1. JavaScript everywhere – frontend and backend
2. Huge community and learning resources
3. Industry demand for MERN developers
4. Scalable architecture for modern apps

Current Focus

I’m building a YouTube clone to sharpen full-stack skills, with extra attention on backend logic.
