What are you waiting for?

Question

After reading alot of post I see alot of people talking about "oh before I build my website I need to master such and such", or " before I make a serious app I need to be a pro in [ insert language here]". I have some advice for those people.
Don't spend so much time preparing to code or preparing to make apps (useful to society and ppl) that you never actually do it. You don't need to be a pro, or as good as Mark Zuckerberg just get started trial and error is key.

Answer 1

I agree, you never know unless you try. People quit the race even before they began running thinking thy are not good enough. Knowing that the first step is the most important step, goes a long way.

With that in mind, practicing the skill as and when learning it, better reinforces the skill. Building an idea in increments is much better than doing it all in one go after you have spent a long time to master it.

Answer 2

Good point. Learning while doing is the key.

Answer 3

Additional advice: the app you want to build should be your utmost priority, not the codes to write. When you get an idea of the new app you want to build, think of the programming language that will get it done, write the steps to build it bit by bit using your logical reasoning then learn the programming language especially the areas you will need.

Answer 4

Practice is the key, programming you won't learn it until you try, keep practising and you will learn it quickly.
