How to ACTUALLY learn to code... 7 Roadmaps for 2023

[@davidshanahan6081]

Another key thing - All coders, no matter how experienced, end up googling for answers. Don't fall for the illusion that coders retain all the knowledge in their heads.

asking correct questions is much harder than finding the answer once you know the question.

Remember: give yourself permission to write ugly code. It's just a first draft. It can always be refactored and improved upon later. Also this helps over-engineering your code / aiming for 'perfection' on first try, which usually just slows the development down. Edit: better advice in the replies

[@mcsquidinc.4648]

i think it can be more useful to break a problem into high-level steps first and organize top-down to keep things cohesive. getting used to writing messy code makes it harder to debug, which ends up being more painful that initial organization.

[@tabsc3489]

@@mcsquidinc.4648 Great point and great advice. Perhaps allowing oneself to write messy and ugly code is not so much a good idea, but it's rather the point of not holding oneself to perfection in the first go. I tend to freeze up when thinking of the "BEST" way to implement something and worrying more about if there's a better way to approach what I'm aiming for. "write ugly code" doesnt really fit that point concisely looking back at that comment

[@turboHaunt]

I agree, start early, start ugly! There will be many, many drafts. (Use Git, Use TDD) Most important is to start. Take pride in your first steps, no matter how unsteady they may be. It's an iterative process, and you'll be painting over, and revitalizing your past work. Make a small step towards better, rinse and repeat.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

@@256k_ That's the issue. Obviously, trying for perfect is probably going to result in the program not being completed ever, but assuming that you'll come back to it is a big assumption. Especially if you're being paid to develop the code, chances are that once you've got something good enough, that you won't be paid to go back unless there's a problem that arises later on that's bad enough to require a fix.

My advise on programming is learning what does it (whatever tech/tool you're leaning) do, and why is it important/needed. Programming is building with digital legos. Once you really understand what you're building and why you are building something, the questions on "how" will naturally come to your mind, thus google will become your best friend.

The embedded road map that will get you hired: 1- start with arduino. Arduino IDE, some small project there. 2 - after you feel comfortable with it, drop the Ide, find the PDF for your chips data sheet, and use atmel studio and a Jtag Debugger. Code in raw C. Your project will run way faster without the arduino overhead, and you'll learn a lot more about how MCUs actually work. 3- learn KiCad. Make a PCB for your project. 4 - grab an STM32 board. They all run off of the same basic Arm architecture, and have way faster speeds than your average atmel chip. They are a little more complex, but If you're used to reading atmel datasheets, you'll be good. 4.5 - learn arm ASM, and how hex files work. If you're good with C, it'll help you depend your understanding. 5 - build a project around a GHz+ NXP chip, or bare metal programming on a Raspberry pi. You'll learn all the considerations you have to take into account working at very high clock speeds. After this, with all the extra stuff you'll learn along the way (serial protocols, external chips, HIDs, ect) you will be unstoppable.

Step 0 is the most important advice I think anybody can have when first starting out. It's always what I tell people when they first get into coding. Create your own backlog of reasonable projects (emphasis on reasonable) that you can create as you build your new skills. Going through endless tutorials is boring. Building a project you're passionate about is fun, which will make it more memorable and help you retain all of the information you're taking in. I recommend staying away from the numerous frameworks and libraries until you have a strong foundation in the languages you choose for your projects (if they are actually "reasonable" for your skill level, you wont need them anyway). Dig in to that stuff on subsequent projects where the goal isn't to "learn to program" or to "learn JavaScript" but instead the goal is to "learn React" or whatever framework is the objective. Everyone is different though. Know thyself when it comes to learning. If you like a chaotic approach too, then open up all of those boxes at once. I like a structured, 1-by-1 approach, personally. Most importantly, have fun!

I have so much respect for programmers of all languages. I started going down the web design path in late September/early October and the amount of knowledge required is absurd. I am currently struggling with JS and It feels like I’ll never be able to learn it but I don’t plan on giving up. I encourage anyone who wants to give coding a try to do so.

[@yoramswiers]

The key is definitly to give your self some time, you need to go through so much information, you need to give your brain time to connect the dots. Today you're learning the basics of js in a month or two you're learning about api's, databases, servers and all the frameworks and platforms that come with it. You will soon be able to have a grasp of what's out there and what it's for and then you can focus down on frameworks and technologies that interest you.

[@philiprea8540]

yes definitely go easy on yourself (and dont be afraid to ask "stupid" questions). i found that learning how programming and computers work was what i call a "nonlinear" process. if you want to learn history, read history. sure there are a whole lot of other things to consider in the process of understanding history but, compared to learning how to program the basic process is to step through the events and gather as much relevant information as possible. you cant read, "the Pinkerton gun thugs and strike breakers opened fire on the striking laborers in Ludlow, Colorado at the behest of the US gov't and capitalist tycoons before walking through their makeshift encampment and setting each of their tents and shanties ablaze - many times with women and children still alive inside." and be terribly confused by the actual events that took place. this particular event is incredible and raises a million other questions, certainly. but as far as actually understanding the event, what took place, there is nothing to do but step through the historical record... contrast this with programming... (oh and yes, enjoy my planted historical plug about a very, very important event in US history) programming is "nonlinear" in the sense that, when you are first starting out, completely naive to what the hell a computer does or why and how programming languages do anything at all, you can go through long periods where it seems like you have accomplished absolutely nothing and have made zero progress. then, one day, out of nowhere, when you are absolutely convinced of your failings, something clicks. from the abyss comes a flood of understanding. you thought you were nowhere and then all of a sudden you are everywhere. this is what i mean by "nonlinear". there was no incremental steps along the way to help assure you of progress. there was nothing and then everything. this is why you remain steadfast in your efforts so long as your goals of learning how to program remain your interest. i promise you. you can learn the dark arts and once you do youll realize you can learn anything! oh yeah and dont be to impressed or intimidated by the amount of knowledge other programmers seem to possess. i can assure you that they do possess quite a bit of knowledge but once you clear a few learning humps you'll find learning new things to not only be enjoyable but that as you learn more and more the process gets easier and easier. that is you "learn how to learn" and given that the subject matter of computer science and programming has a whole lot of overlapping parts learning one thing leads to (or "sheds light on") other things. the trick is to get over those initial "learning humps", keep at it and you will, i am 100% certain of this!

[@TheKd8lvt]

Been programming since I was 12 or so, if you can count what I was doing at 12 programming. I'm in my fourth year of college for it now - here's my advice: Never be afraid to google something you don't quite understand and look for a different source. Sometimes it just takes the information or example code being written in a different way for it to make sense. If you're REALLY stuck - taking a quick 30-minute break to simply just go on a walk or grab a snack does wonders for letting information sink into your brain. Sometimes it takes a minute for the neurons to connect together in the right way. Taking a walk, even only a short one in the pouring rain/snow, really makes things click into place. It gives your brain a break and time to (importantly) _not think about the problem_ and is a fantastic tool for learning anything, not just programming. Another bit of advice - if you're having a horrible time debugging something, you can't find an answer online as to why it's doing what it's doing, and you're truly stuck - explain, out loud, your code to some sort of inanimate object. (People work too, if you're embarassed to talk to an inanimate object. They don't have to understand programming... just willing to hear you spout computer wizardry at them) It's called "The Rubber Duck Method", but it doesn't really matter what you use. Explain line-by-line what the code is doing, and what the problem you're having is. Eventually, you'll say something so profoundly "captain obvious" that a cartoon lightbulb will appear over your head with a sign that says "I'm with stupid". If it doesn't happen, you probably either didn't explain the part of code that's causing the problem, or you just need a longer break.

Learning C can really set you apart from other coders. The foundational knowledge you get from understanding how memory and pointers works under the hood as well as how to implement data structures from scratch really helps to understand the different trade-offs in other programming languages. Learning C++ on the other hand is generally not worth it unless you need it day to day. I eventually did loop back into C++ after 25 years coding in many other languages only because I wanted to go deep on Unreal Engine.

@@shu3684 Yeah that's somewhat true. In some ways it's harder because you're kinda learning both at the same time. A few years back I did some projects in C++ using Ogre3D, that was fun.

After many different projects using all sorts of languages and frameworks adding another one to the toolbelt isn't particularly scary anymore.

[@ExpensivePizza]

@@peacemaker7188 Depends what benefits you're looking for. For me, the benefits of learning C are about understanding the principles of memory allocation, pointers, data structures and how programs can be written without classes and other object oriented design semantics. Almost all modern languages hide these things away but really, they are still there under the hood. When you have a good understanding of the foundational layers that modern programming languages are built upon it makes a lot more sense when you run into strange cryptic errors. Learning C++ on the other hand will probably only be beneficial for writing more C++. If you're not actually going to be doing that day to day you'd be better off focusing on higher level languages and building real world applications.

I am missing a few things in this video. 1. where is the basic idea that you should make fun while programming? Don't try and make a new os, but start with something easy that gives you a good feeling. 2. I would say that is important to try different things and dont be afraid to quit something if you dont like it. Furthermore, great video, I am a great fan!

[@bellshoe2894]

Number 2 is really good advice, knowing when to drop something is really important because sometimes you really just need to take a break and start fresh again. Even though you may think you just wasted time, what you're really doing is priming yourself for round 2.

[@BomberLT]

Also it misses the point that you don't need to create COMPLETE thing to learn. For example in web dev - you can connect to existing online backend and use something like Bootstrap instead of writing css and do not care at all about those things and learn them later.

[@grandmonkey7455]

I have started learning how to code a year and a half ago. I started on JS, but i really found it frustrating since i wasn't not really interested in working on websites and if you wanted to anything more complex it would be too frustrating without a framework, but i did learn the basics. Then i took a break, tried making some games with the Godot engine. It's really fun and i still dabble from time to time. Then i tried to learn some C++. I learned the main basics and it was fun, but again making an actual project is a whole different beast. It is so hard to go from making some mundane program to making something that is actually something you would use. And i am still alienated by the job market. I am not sure is there any chance of me getting even a entry job position. Most companies want you to be an expert. It really makes feel everyone gets their job through nepotism, but that could be not true.

I think being specialized and having a portfolio built around that specialization is the way to go if you want to get employed. If you have a bit of everything but a whole lot of nothing in particular then youre less valuable for any one specific position.

​@@lazerhawk2192 The "you have to network part" doesn't give me confidence at all. It just comes down to complete luck if you ever even meet the right people. Nepotism and networking seem to be closely linked together. There are already so many stories of people who have barely even touched code and they are working as a junior dev. And in the future the job market for entry level positions will be even more rough. Think of chatGPT and other AI. Sure everyone laughs at them now, but in a couple years it could easily replace junior devs. I honestly think average programmers will be replaced faster than people working manual labour.

[@andrews8733]

@GrandMonkey I don't believe average/entry level devs will be replaced by AI for a while, but the number will look like it's decreasing due to the bar being raised across the board. Today, everyone wants a staff/senior level person. It's all about risk and velocity. For the most part, nobody wants to take a chance on someone who's yet to prove themself in the job market. Though modern tech is in 'some' ways easier than tech of old, the sheer breadth of knowledge you need to be competent, and produce quickly, are higher than ever.

I think starting with the frontend and and then progressively involving backend when you need data or authentication in your frontend is a good approach. And then finally when you get it working locally on your pc, you need to start thinking of how it could be deployed in the cloud. It takes years if you are new to programming.

I didn't even write the code - the best way to do what they wanted was to use a hash table and, as gptchat just explained, it can take a moment to build one - we only had half an hour to answer the question so I tried it in java, after wasting a few minutes trying in C, and only got about half way through due to my unfamiliarity with the language.

Tip from someone who went the prison route: The only potential way in which C isn't self-torture and a complete waste of your time is if you learn it together with ASM, and regularly read your compiler's ASM output. Makes it much easier to grasp the underlying CS concepts and you get to know the whole compile/link/debug toolchain, which definitely will transfer to the higher-level languages you'll invariably end up using.

[@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5]

"and you get to know the whole compile/link/debug toolchain, which definitely will transfer to the higher-level languages" - can't sound more false. Don't justify wasting your time. If you use high level languages(Javascript, Python...), you certainly 100% don't need to know or understand a single thing about complile/link/debug toolchain or any asm low level stuff. Not a single thing will help you, just a waste of time(for high level languages). I see that people lately think it sounds cool or something. I feel the "Yeah I learned C, Assembly and reverse engineering, I am now better than you at Javascript" energy here lol.

@@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5 try it first maybe, learning C will force you to learn how data structures and algorithms work, plus, in languages like JavaScipt, knowing how memory works is very beneficial considering how shitty its GC is (unless you don't care about perf/etc enough to care, but point is, that learning C does help a ton in various fields) * as someone who mainly did JavaScript TypeScript for 2-3 years and is now writing toy programming languages in C

[@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5]

​@@evil_witch I already learned c and c++ in the past, but not that much(around 50 hours total on my own(self-learning), got well into theoritical advanced stuff). I understand what you are *trying* to say, but I am still completely sure that it is all a waste of time for a high level language dev. If you want/need to learn how the memory works, how different data structure work, learn it, but there is no merit in learning low level languages JUST for that. That is comparable to *professionally* learning design as a mere frontend programmer. 95% of the time you will implement what you are told to by the actual dedicated design team, and the other 5% you can just learn yourself, without having a design degree or extensive 3 year UI design training. In short, you guys are just messing up the priorities. If, for example, it took you 10 hours to learn something in low level, and for example it give you 20 points in that specific skill, you will have only 1(!) point carried over to high level. Now learn something in high level in the first place using those 10 hours, it will CERTAINLY give you AT LEAST 10 points, if not the same 20. It simply doesn't make sense to compare that and say that "it will help you!!", when you were just better spending 10 times less time learning it more efficiently in the language/environment you need it the most. Of course if you want to learn low level, I am not stopping anyone, but I am just saying that "learning low level will help you in high level" is just a straight lie.

Some people get into advanced database engineering, and they know relational algebra, whilst other people in the advanced functional language sphere learn lambda calculus. My advice would be for you to take it easy, see what you'd like to explore deeper, and to remember that the most overlooked skills that a computer scientist needs are creativity and patience. In CS you never really stop learning, so it's okay to mess up, feel like you don't know all the answers, etc. That's what the internet is for.

In short JavaScript can do 5 of the things, so you should just learn it.

But what if you don’t hate yourself?

[@7heMech]

@@droidy347 that seems like a *you* problem.

I started learning python because i wanted to participate on a project that my dad has with IA. I always hated maths and then I found out this area is full of it. At least now its been a little easier to understand since now is math applied to real situations and not just some equations that I will never understand what they are for

"There's no guaranteed step by step program." Agreed on this one. I started out with C++ as my first programming language in college then moved to Java as part of my mobile dev course. Then, PHP and JS (with jQuery) in my 3rd year all the way to my first 3 years of professional experience. During my first work experience, I learned python by myself for basic scripting then started learning Django and Vue in early 2021. In 2022, I got another job where I used React and Ruby with RoR for our internal app. By 2023, I've already learned TypeScript, some basic Lua for NeoVim, Nuxt (for personal projects) and Next (made contributions on open source Next projects), a handful of other technologies, and I've started learning Rust. It's been a wild ride so far and I feel like things will get wilder this year.
