Never! Never go for everything at once. Start building your basics. Understand which language you need to learn. Practice. Grab the previous concept before moving onto next one. Revision. Implementation. P.S. Don't forget to upvote this. 😅

- practice. - learn how to google to knowing how to search for somthing. - read a lot of code by excellent programmers. - plan your code before you write it. - stay updated on new technologies and languages, and never stop learning. - the best way to get better at programming is to write to lots of code, Just keep making stuff. - learn how to debugging. - don't ba afraid to ask for help or to help people back. - practice.

Spend as much time studying and practicing coding as you can. Get books, look up tutorials, and just keep practicing. You can excel faster than you think you can at coding, so get out there and do it!

don't mess life up with too much coding. keep it simple and focus on your strengths, while at the same time not forgetting to learn from your mistakes...

Don't just do the courses ! You also have to practice in the Code-playground. In otherwise, you can't remember a few things. :)

dont focus on one language. At first - u should understand what u want to do. For landing pages- learn html, css, js and its enough. For shops- learn cms with php js jquery and sql. For mobile apps u should start to learn java core. For games- python and ruby on rails

🔴 Never Give up , and always remember that.. 🔵 No Gain without Pain. .. Moreover, 🔸Try to learn from a certified source not to waste your time and to be learnt a weak material. 🔸Revise your skills first by first.

As a Python beginner myself (and with only enough other programming background to be dangerous,lol), I "brute forced" some code until it did most of what I wanted, and have turned to PyCharm for syntactical and structural guidance when I hit some snags. Moreover, I have also relied on simple flowcharting before too much coding. If I can diagram it well enough, I can eventually code it. Diagrams and code play off of each other, each improving the other. As it was once told to me, sit in a chair facing a door, and write as many steps as you can to describe addressing the door to exit the room. I made it to about 175 lines! Elephants are eaten one byte at a time.

don't bother about the time u takes to complete the lesson.... focus on the quality of knowledge that gains... don't simply leave the topic after completion...practice a lot ..the more u will practice the more u will become perfect... at last ...I think it's just a game..so play with it..good luck!!!

Learn math. Math will increase your level of abstract thinking. Solve IQ tests. Each time you'll be better. Practice is good but without abstract thinking you will always write spagetti-code :)
