Chapter 11: Where to Go from Now
Thank you for reading my book — or should I say, this journey — as a blog series on Dev.to.
Your support, encouragement, and kind words have meant the world to me.
A special thanks to Nathan Tarbet and Prema Ananda for your invaluable feedback on Chapters 1 and 2.
You shared your experiences, gave honest suggestions, and reminded me why I started writing this in the first place.
Who Am I?
I’m nobody special — just a 16-year-old boy, a student of 11th grade.
But… I’m also something more.
I am a developer, a dreamer, and now — maybe — a bit of an artist.
When I began coding, all I had was a dream.
That dream pulled me forward, one line of code at a time. I didn’t know where I was heading, but I kept moving.
That dream turned me from Prasoon to Developer Prasoon, the creator of Spider.css.
The Dream
My dream was simple but powerful:
To create a masterpiece that helps non-English speakers, especially Hindi speakers, write code easily and expressively.
From that dream, Hinglish Programming Language was born.
At first, I failed. Many times. For six months, I struggled.
I had no idea how to create a language — but I kept trying.
And then one day, while working on a different project, something clicked.
I felt something inside me — not inspiration, but logic — and I returned to my Hinglish project with fresh eyes.
And finally… it worked.
I still don’t know everything about creating programming languages.
But I know what it means to follow a dream — and see it become real.
From Dream to Masterpieces
From that one dream, many creations followed:
Spider.css – a powerful CSS framework
Gold Programming – a browser-based programming language
Aarambh.js – JavaScript for complete beginners
Typenova – a modern typing experience
Volt.js – fast and simple JavaScript tools
I didn’t know I was creating masterpieces — I was just chasing a feeling.
And now, I see what that feeling created.
My Personal Guide Before Goodbye
Before I say goodbye, here is my personal guide — from one developer to another:
For Web Development
Use Semantic Tags
I admit — I forget sometimes. But they help browsers, developers, and accessibility tools understand your structure better.Use Comments
Especially in big projects, comments are your best friends. Code without context is just confusion waiting to happen.Master JavaScript Before React
Don’t rush into React. Learn JavaScript deeply. Understand functions, closures, async/await, DOM, and ES6+ features. React will become 10x easier after that.
For AI & Machine Learning
Start with Python
Learn libraries likeNumPy
,Pandas
,Scikit-learn
, and then move toTensorFlow
orPyTorch
.Learn the Concepts
Algorithms are the heart of AI. Learn about decision trees, neural networks, and gradient descent before building models.Build Real Projects
Create chatbots, recommendation systems, or image classifiers. Apply your learning in real use cases.
For DevOps
Understand the DevOps Mindset
It’s not just tools — it’s about collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.Learn Tools One by One
Start with Git, then move to Docker, CI/CD (like GitHub Actions or Jenkins), and Kubernetes.Practice Automation
Automate testing, deployments, and backups. Learn scripting with Shell, Python, or YAML-based workflows.
Final Words
We laughed, we reflected, and we created.
This book is not an end — it’s a beginning.
You’ve now seen how programming is not just logic — it’s art.
It’s your voice. Your imagination. Your soul. Whether you’re just starting or already deep in your journey — keep going.
Let’s create a world where everyone can code, no matter what language they speak, where they come from, or how old they are.
Thank you for being part of my journey.
