Hello, my name is Jack Atkinson! I'm an Australian citizen born July, 1996 who moved to America in 2005 which is where I currently reside. Since I first gained the ability to turn on my mothers computer I have had an avid interest in how they work. My curiosity was not getting me into too much trouble until I had a failed attempt at dual booting her computer with Ubuntu. The end result of that endeavor led to her computer being sent back to HP for the first time. That interest has manifested itself into a love for programming and solving problems with computers. After delving deeper and deeper into the land of software development I had heard about hackathons but thought they were a little bit above my level. When I read about Koding's Virtual Hackathon that was mostly aimed towards High School students, I thought I should give it a shot and to my astonishment and excitement I was accepted! One fact that made this competition stick out to me was that I didn't need to travel anywhere which made it easily accessible as I am in my senior year at high school.
Currently my strongest skills are: C++, C#, Python, HTML, CSS, DOS(Batch Files)
For this project I plan on expanding my skillset of Javascript.
I have chosen the theme of Introducing software development to a beginner. To make my idea a reality I will be using the following API's:
