It's Cow, It's a Cat... It's a Codeable Music Video!

Doja might've just did something!
Superstar Doja Cat's first rise to fame was as a meme when her viral "MOOO!" swept the internet by storm in 2018. Since Doja has made quite the name for herself with the success of her second studio album, Hot Pink (2019). Once again being absorbed by social media. Finding a home TikTok as users rushed to go viral by making creative dances and trends with a majority of the album. I can admit I cannot listen to the whole album without recreating a TikTok dance, shout out to  "Say So"!
In 2020 Doja released her third studio album Planet Her, met with amazing feedback. Planet Her is her most visually captivating body of works. Filled with playlist-worthy bops about relationships (and lack thereof). Our girl is noted as being ahead of her time. Well, she definitely proved that again this year!

Doja Cat and Girls Who Code teamed up to give us the first codeable music video! Yes, you read that correctly.  I'll wait for you to pick up your mouth from the floor. Earlier this month the unlikely pairing launched the first-ever interactive codable music video for Planet Her's, smash single “Woman”. Available on DojaCode.com, you can customize parts of the music video. Add master programmer, director, and producer to your resume, sis!

Initial Thoughts
I'm already a big Doja stan but this is remarkable. I feel like we're one step closer to being on the Miley Cyrus episode of Black Mirror.
Going on the website already looks so futuristic which is obviously the theme of the album. It states that the programming languages that users will code in are Python, CSS, and JavaScript. I always recommend these programs for beginners they are easier to learn as the syntax is "simpler".
Out the gate, we are into some programming. My good sis Teyana is sitting pretty and waiting to get her stiletto nails painted. The code is already pre-written but it gives you the option to choose from many colors/patterns by autofill. Which is the general vibe throughout the experience. 
I think the concept is super cool. I think this is a great way to urge young girls to get into the tech industry and show that coding can be cute. I wish there was a way that users can play in it a bit more, instead of just an autofill. However, that does not discredit this accomplishment! I think this is a great intro to some beginner-friendly programming languages. Literally cannot wait what other concepts Doja has in store and how this will inspire other artists.💚

Why Should Python be your First Language?

Image
I am a bit biased when it comes to Python since it was my first love 😍. I first used my Sophomore year of high school doing small-scale projects like adventure games and tic-tac-toe to get our footing.  I'm going to be completely honest when I was younger covering computer science and engineering was the worst part of the curriculum. I was more interested in mechanical engineering and physics at the time, however, the college had other plans for me. It was so benign. One day it works, one day it doesn't. A period here and indent there. So meticulous and tedious! Since finding a newfound appreciation for it and relearning the program for automating and data projects, I would like to share why Python should be everyone's first programming language: Python this, Syntax that! One of the most daunting tasks of learning how to code is getting used to writing and reading something you have never seen before. Java, Python, HTML, C, and more are programming languages. You can't...

Programming for Tech Newbs

Image
To  non-techies coding sounds like something for a beautiful mind to understand. Truth is most programming languages are pretty simple, but like most things in life it just take time and practice. Even the best Techies get errors from time to time. We all need to start somewhere so let's clear some things up: WTF is programming anyway? Great question. It's not a bunch of 1s and 0s (well not anymore), programming can be describe as instructions to accomplish a task on a computer.  Why are there so many programing language? Long story short different programming languages are made for different jobs. Though most languages can accomplish multiple jobs, one language can be way easier or take way less time to accomplish tasks. Which language should I start with? Well... that's dependent on what you plan on doing. Like stated before most of these languages have overlap and can be used for multiple tasks. This is how I would categorize them Website Development: HTML an...
