Advice Needed by Lostinacircle: 2:30pm On Dec 30, 2022
The year is about to end. In new year, we all have our various goals and ambitions to achieve. Qtguru, tensa, airsaylongcom and others please can you give an advice to a student who is trying to learn to code.
I have been learning how to code for a while now but it seems I'm not making any progress. Everything is just overwhelming.
How was the journey like for you? what were your challenges and how did you overcome them?like there are so many things and changing technology out there how did you focus and how were you people able to be good at coding?

I so much admire qtguru and I want to be like him.

Phew... I'm in a way like this.. Just started my journey roughly 30days ago.. Pretty comfortable with intermediate HTML and CSS.... But you see that JAVAScript.. I'm in tutorial and courses hell like this.


What stage are you in and what path or language are you learning... Let's see if we can team learn

Learning to code is a meme


Just build projects and gradually you'll learn things

Completely agree with you. Even if the project is some so-called "stupid", "easy" project. BUILD SOMETHING. AND DOCUMENT BOTH THE PROCESS AND YOUR LEARNINGS.

OP this is the main key but also read on some Comp Sci by the way, Comp Sci is still a key, you don't have to be indepth, but covering it gives you a good mental note of what's going on from Code to execution.

This advice is the best actually.

Build something personal using the example from tutorials and dont code verbatim. For example you like football. You can create a football class with attibutes and methods. Your methods might not be perfect, it would get perfect with time and practice. What it does is that it would teach you all the tools available in the language to do a job. Just use that same template to create different projects with that you would never have to go through the tutorial again. You can also create a cheat sheet as well, it would help you.
