I think the worst mistake is trying to learn every framework under the sun in your first year instead on focusing one language/framework and becoming really good at it.

Exactly ...and the confusion comes when beginners listen too much of other developers definition of a good framework or library ....instead of looking for one that best suits them....and also the fact that there is too much videos on vue js vs react and Angular on KZbin .....made people like me confused at the beginning

I think the most important ones which he mentioned here are reading the documentation and tutorial purgatory. Acutally reading and studying some framework's documentation has improved my coding a lot ,because now I am actively doing something(contrary to watching and replicating the stuff from tutorials of youtubers and udemy dudes). For example, I learned some Django by watching Corey Schafer's tutorials. While Corey's tutorials are awesome for learning the basics, reading and applying the Django documentation is was what really improved my coding ability.

[@rageman2247]

The worst thing about programming tutorials is the fact that they almost never explain why the code works

[@victorsilva1246]

Agreed, I've been learning through some courses in Udemy. This is the difficulty I find. I learn what to do, but not why... So I've tried my hand at codewars and have had a hard time understanding why what I've been doing hasn't been working. But that leads me to discovering the why haha.

[@thej680]

I feel this is the number one thing wrong with most programming tutorials. I can follow along and get the same result, but they don't really explain anything (Do this, do that.) At the end of the tutorial, I almost always have to fill in the gaps. I just don't know how anyone can be satisfied with just getting the result they wanted without knowing exactly what they did to get the result. Almost every tutorial or resource in this community is like swiss cheese, and I kinda wish some of these people didn't create tutorials. It's kinda the gatekeeper thing for me. So many resources, yet so many people can't give a good reasonable explanation for what they're doing. It's not just for programming either.

[@guitarman813]

The tutorial purgatory section at 10:58 is absolutely spot on! I admit that I've been approaching that phase. And so from next year, I'm going to focus more on projects. But equally keep on learning through tutorials. Thus doing by both side-by-side as opposed to having more of an emphasis on tutorials. Like at the moment.

[@robertstimmel1100]

I've been trying to learn programming for about two months. I am taking a class on Udemy (which has been great), but recently started on a larger project with people who really know what they're doing. They've been giving me tasks to do on my own. If I need help, they'll help, but they're mostly letting me do my own thing. I just wrote my first program without a tutorial. This project has been so huge in helping me learn. I was (and still kind of am) intimidated, but recommend to anyone who is trying to self teach to work on projects on their own.

@@prixfix2419 in not sure if I'm the best person to ask for advice, but I'll give it a shot anyway. This is what I did: I looked at what programming languages are most popular and have the most job opportunities. Then, looked at what I can do with those languages and chosee one. Don't take too long to decide. I spent way longer than I should have making this choice. Then, I found a class for beginners that looked fun and had good reviews. That gave me a basis for what concepts I needed to study on my own, outside of the class. Then, I got lucky. I responded to a post on a project that I was interested in. They ended up taking me on as an "intern." In really learning a lot from working on this project, but it is WAY more frustrating than following tutorials. Now, I'll have the projects to add to my portfolio for when I start looking for jobs. That'll be crucial since I don't have a cs degree. Take it easy, have fun, work hard and don't stress too much.

This is so true. Every beginning programmer should watch this. Those are mostly the tips I give to new programmers myself. I've seen the mistakes done plenty myself among fellow programming apprentices and this made their tasks much more difficult and led to resignation. Fortunately for me, I've already had some work experience in a help desk section of an IT department where I really learned my Google-Fu, trying to solve all kinds of strange PC problems. So getting into programming felt less stressful to me, as I already had the knowledge, techniques and most of all the patience, to research and find solutions to all kinds of problems that arose on the journey. Even now I'm still doing this on a regular basis, since the spectrum of software development is so vast that there's always new things to learn or look up again. +1 sub from me ;)

Tutorials are fine, especially starting out or if you just really needed to make a specific thing fairly quickly. But you need to transition away from that when possible. It’s easy to get in a loop of tutorials for everything which is just inefficient, and slow at teaching you things. The sooner you can teach yourself the critical thinking skills of applying the base fundamentals, the sooner you’re on your way to being really good at what you do.

First "mistake" it is not always a mistake. Sometimes 3rd Libraries/Frameworks are well done and tested, but their target clients are too big, they have to satisfy too many requirements and that means more code, more abstraction, more layers in order to make the framework extensible and robust for all purpose but at the cost of performance (too many nested callbacks, too many serializations in between, too many memory used). I was in a project in a small team of a big corporation and we were using its private framework, just like hibernate with a couple of adds.... So, yes, do not reinvent the wheel. BUT, a few years latter, we realized that the framework was too heavy in the ORM System... so we changed that part to use a 3rd library to transform the data. It was not successful, it was faster but not that much. That library was too fancy too. Solution? we wrote our own tiny ORM in 16 hours and it was very very fast, it was so fast, that the boss though "it has to be wrong, it cannot be faster than the another corporation/enterprise/well done/tested frameworks, we are missing something"... but it was perfect for us, for our use cases, for our project, and it was just a File with not more than 300 lines and 16 hours of code.

im learning c++. what i do to study this textbook style online tutorial, is i read everything that is needed to be read on that page, all the explanations the examples, terms, i look at the code and then for example if the instructions say its gonna show us how to fix it, i fix it on my own before reading further to see how i can get it to work the certain way that its eventually gonna have me do it. there's times where i get it right without looking at the instructions. and there's times where i do it right but it wasnt how it was trying to teach me. this leads me to understanding what the code does in more depth because im basically building it my own way first and then compiling it and then perfecting it after going over the tutorials instructions. i do this then once i figure it out the correct way after going over the correct examples, i then do the same thing again but i twist everything up, i change the variable names, the values, what type of functions are to be called and which order and what they do. for every thing i learn, i redo it again on the current thing im learning. i also break the code to see what can go wrong and why. then i add different things to see if it will work that way or not. i believe you can learn the foundations pretty well with tutorials with the correct studying habits but i think tutorials can only do just that, its the projects we need to do to exercise what we learned from the tutorials. i can only imagine whats to come and im looking forward to it. this will be my first tutorial for c++ and i will just move directly into doing projects like a small app or even doing some game development 2D games and just try to break down how its done to come up with my own code. dont know what to look forward to but i am and im excited.

“Don’t write from scratch”. If you’re already employed, sure - use whatever framework(s) are required by your employer. However, when learning, my problem with this is that if you learn MVVM using FooMVVM library, you’re not learning MVVM, you’re learning FooMVVM. When I wanted to learn dependency injection, I wrote my own (basic) DI service, and it wasn’t until I felt that I truly understood DI did I switch to Microsoft’s implementation. Just my opinion.

The best way I learned how to get pass tutorial hell is to just start a project and only refer to the documentation or short tips about small problems to help me along. Like if I was building a game that has a deck of cards, I might check the language documentation to see what kind of data structures it has that would be good for storing cards, then look online for what kind of deck shuffling algorithms already exist. That way I taught myself how to build a deck of cards then shuffle that deck without watching any tutorials. I might choose the "inefficient" way without knowing at first, but getting on with the project and not letting little things hold up progress allow me to get through more projects overall and learn a lot. Wasting time on tiny issues in practice projects isn't worth the time.

[@wenseslaogarcia295]

About using libraries and other peoples programs, I think it is okay, but I think it is more important to know what you want to do. If you just want to do a 2d game just use an engine or use some libraries, don't code all what you need from scratch if you just want the game. But if you are actually not just interested in making a game but also how they are made and how things work you can start a bit from a lower level, but it is also okay to use some graphic libraries instead of trying to make everything from the OS. Another tip I thought of about the tutorials hell, I think a good way to learn what you see, is just recode thr app you made, but avoid using the tutorial, make notes and use the notes, check the code you already made, but rebuild it by yourself without the tutorial. That is what I did, I just thought that if I learned what I needed to learn I could just make it by myself without the tutorial, and well, that taught me how what I was doing worked and what I wrote really meaned.

Never tried tutorials - got a course on java froma university (the helsinki one, maybe you know about it) and learn with that since weeks. Its very tough, but you learn a lot during the exercises because they dont hold your hand much. Most of the time, for example with classes, they give you a template and you have to finish it. Or they give you a main-method and you have to make the class for it. Stuff like that. I think thats a lot better, because tutorials dont teach you that much i think..i mean..you get the solution instantly and dont make mistakes/errors, which you learn the most from. If you know how to use the tools, you can make something similiar and maybe get inspired by tutorials. Just my 2 cents

Best way to escape tutorial purgatory/hell, is to listen what is the next step. Try to implement it before watching the solution. Some of the better teaching video makers actually tell you to pause, and try to solve the following problem, and unpausing only after succeeding or failing at it first yourself. Your learning is boosted by 100-fold compared to just following along, since you need to actually actively think and work on the problem. After working on it by yourself for a while, you see the correct answer, and it will hit home so much better... it is like, oh yeah, I should have/could have done it like that. Before long, your solutions start to get even better than the suggested tutorial solutions. And instead of just copying what the teacher is doing, you are able to anticipate what he/she is about to do next, and if what he/she does is different, you learn even more by thinking and examining why they chose another route

I was walking throug learning two language at the same time, and I was getting stuck in both, but finally I realized that if I dont learn one first I will never get good in any one.

15:15 YES! This happened to me for the first time a month ago and it was so satisfying. Literally wrote it in my sleep 😂

Also an advice I read somewhere. Don't worry about learning new languages, learn more algorithms
