There are many reasons why I like working through the night, it just seems to be the time when my brain switches on, and I am more productive. I have found myself a good cycle where I sleep in the early hours of the morning and wake up in the afternoon. It works great for me and I can get lots done during my ‘days’.

Learning programming languages is not like it used to be and is now very easy to teach yourself by using online interactive sites. When I was still learning the basics, there were very few opportunities online that helped you to get to grips with coding and the ones I did find were difficult and frustrating to use. Now there are loads, and they are detailed, explaining everything you need to know to learn and master programming languages without too much effort. I think everyone has the potential to try coding, and if you can handle it, you will grow to love it.

This may sound crazy, but it happened; I sat at my computer coding for five days without moving apart from going to the bathroom and grabbing some food. A client that I often work for wanted a complicated mobile app created for iOS that was then to be developed into a cross-platform app, and he needed it done fast. I accepted the task as I didn’t have many other things to do, and I was feeling ready for a new challenge.

Are you a night owl? You may feel more productive when you do things at night instead of attempting to do them first thing in the morning. There is a good chance you have heard people tell you that it is better for you to get plenty of rest at night, but that does not mean you have to follow their directions.
