"Stick to one language." It's hard when companies require you to know 3+ languages and every school or BootCamp forces you to learn a minimum of 2+ languages. By the time I graduate, I will have experienced 7+ languages, and I started my degree with only two.

Relatable... My university teaches C++ for our freshmen, requires you to learn Python and MIPS for assignments in sophomore, and later you'd have to learn C and R in the third year. 5 languages, all in three years.

@elixer_prince Ай бұрын

I learnt Pascal then C/C++ in year one then in year two we learnt Java then HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP (We didn't get to PHP due to time), then now in year 3 we're back to C++ but with advanced data structures and game dev in any engine we want (we used Unity). I think next semester we're going to learn operating systems and software development.

@@unusuariogenerico8382personally I’m still very bad programmer aside from some specific things, but I’ve had the best success ditching video tutorials and just figuring shit out use LLM or stack overflow or other forums or manuals of a language or system or whatever where needed, and just do some coolio (or mandatory for work… or both?) projects. Video tutorials teach rigidly which kinda goes against the point of being a programmer project creator etc. If you don’t have a job to nudge you in the direction of what you have to do, go make some piece of crap website or game or app or hot keys or configurations on pre-existing software just cuz you think it’s cool or it’d be convenient

Projects not only gives you confidence, it allows you those lightbulb moments when you figure out why things are done a certain way, because everything else wasn't working. Also learning a language with memory management has the small upside that you will be forever grateful you don't have to touch pointers for the rest of your days.

@theanalystcharles3543 Sure, I only knew basic English when finished middle school, and high school English classes here in south america public education system are... less than adequate. So I started learning trough passive exposure, the simplest way is just watching youtube videos with substitles, I watched English videos with subtitles in my native language for about a year before I was able to Switch to English subtitles, and one more year before I could understand what people were saying without substitles at all. The most challenging thing is understand different speech patterns and accents, I recommend starting with cooking videos, because they talk slow and clearly, then gradually move to contents your like more.

It's actually easier than you think if you have the right resources and know where to look. In most populated cities, there's some kind of robotics club you can join. In colleges, there's usually one too. Aside from that, there's hackathons you can participate in. If you want something super professional, try reaching out to people and ask if you can job shadow someone. Drafting letters of recommendation for people and having them sign it is also a huge step in the right direction. The Tech industry is tight knit, so if you know someone who has a job in it, using them will give you a huge advantage over other applicants.

In my experience and I dont feel like many people tell you this but learning to get actually good at coding these days is just a side quest to being an actual strong overall developer. On my course, im currently doing a full stack assignment and coding the actual project is 25% of the battle 😂 I have to include a comprehensive and well detailed documentation of how I build my projects including Wireframes, UX designs, target auidience, client goals, extensive testing, collaboration tools and so much more. Knowing how to know, time management and soft skills are just as crucial as knowing how to code if not more important in some aspects.

When I first started, I often worried about forgetting concepts. What really helped me was sticking to one language-JavaScript/TypeScript. I stopped caring about what others said about it, as long as it worked for me and helped me build SaaS products. Looking back, I’ve come a long way. I’ve never been the type to take notes-I learn by doing over and over again. I began with KZbin tutorials, but now I either read docs or watch short, focused videos when I’m stuck on something specific. 4 years down the line, I still see myself as a beginner. Which makes me care less.

@AnonyousMorris Ай бұрын

I feel like there's no harm in learning more languages. Every language teaches you a new way of thinking. Java smashes objects into your skull. C teaches you to handle everything and gives you the simplicity of not having anything. JS lets you make something flashy. Python makes you do everything in iterators and functions and lists. Rust teaches you idea of ownership which becomes really nice when you start doing parallel programming. C++ ... well I just use it for competitive programming. I started to see that really mastering a language is an endeavor measured in years. However, I think trying out a language can be very nice after a year or two after started programming. With every language I tried, I got exposed to a new way of thinking which oftentimes carries over to how I code in all the other languages as well.

@grega4935 Ай бұрын

For first small project i would recommend, command line tic-tac-toe. You can do it with little no prior knowledge and you don't need to use any libraries which is huge, for the first project. You also learn to think more for yourself when programming instead of just going through a tutorial.

As far as the stick to the one language tip, I agree with this concept early on, but then after a while this is extremely diminishing returns. Use the right tool for the job is a good motto to follow after some programming fundamentals are down, and well it’ll help build fundamental programming skillset over continuing to build up syntax and specifics of one language. I guess if the title was “How I would begin to learn to code if I wasn’t an idiot” this would be a non-issue, but learning never stops

Thb learning to code is now easy asf. You have udemy, you have youtube, you have online forums, discord. Considering that programming used to be learned only from books, it is much easier now. But consistency is key. And that was my biggest problem - I learned by starting hard and stopping quickly. All you need to do is spend 30 minutes a day for 2 years and that's it. The second most important thing is not to learn programming to get a job, but to learn to create "something cool" and the work will be an additional benefit. And to be completely honest, after 2 years of work I realized that I don't like programming in the context of work xD. Losing all the pleasure of programming, I realized that I like to do it as a side hustle or as a hobby.

Programming is a long journey and if you’re doing it to find out if you like it and you’re not under the supervision of an instructor. I would not bother with the web and linux and databasesto start within or even mobile. There is simply to many distractions of component you need to piece together. Personally I’d go straight onto game development with a 2d framework like love and Lua as your scripting language or python/ruby with fast iteration cycles local to your OS like windows or Mac OS. My second would be using a compiled environment for desktop apps like object pascal or something like visual prolog. In game dev or desktop learn about data structures like lists trees and graphs and basic algorithms. Learn the game or development framework, file processing and multitasking. Then from there you can get into more components like learning the bash shell or different data communications like JSON and yaml or databases and shell commands like bash in a linux environment.

If you think Python is too abstract compared to C++, than C++ is too abstract compared to Assembly, (and then Assembly is too abstract compared to Machine Code). Learning a low-level programming language doesn't always make you a skilled or good programmer, it's about what you can do with what you got. Just learn what you want.
