I met the concept of G-code when I got my first 3D printer. I did not go deep into it back then. 2018

At university we had a semester of NC programming. The teacher was rigorous about understanding each command very well. We were expected to handwrite NC-code based on a technical drawing and a technical requirements list. We also had a chance (albeit a bit short and few for me) to try out the some CNC machines in the workshop. 2019

In practice I used to modify G-codes generated by additive manufacturing slicing software Ultimaker CURA. As I worked with 3D printers a lot, there were some occasions when I had to modify the G-code for various reasons. 2021

A practical demonstration where I took a picture and turned into a G-code to be drawn by my 3D printer.
