Author's Journey

Hi, I'm George Medawar, a retired software engineer with over forty years of experience in software development, product testing, and systems certification.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across diverse and high-impact industries, including:

• Telecommunications

• NASA's Space Launch Programs

• Commercial aviation systems and software certification

My journey has taken me from mission-critical systems to embedded solutions, and along the way, I became fluent in a wide range of programming languages, including Python, Java, and C/C++. I’ve developed a deep expertise in embedded software engineering, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and safety-critical systems.

Today, even in retirement, I remain passionate about mentoring beginners, sharing my knowledge, and making software development more approachable for those just starting out. I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can learn to program and unlock the power of technology to solve real-world problems.

When I'm not behind a keyboard, you’ll likely find me on the tennis court, enjoying a good rally and staying active.

Mission

I created this website to offer practical, beginner-friendly resources in programming; drawing from decades of real-world experience to help others learn, grow, and build with confidence.

Whether you’re exploring your first programming language or brushing up on skills, I hope you find value and inspiration here.
