What to Practice

Question

I still feel very new, and nervous\shaky when it comes to coding. I understand the need to practice, but besides the one or two little assignments after the lessons. I am not really sure, (for a lack of a better way to say this) how to come up with ideas to do, that I can practice on.

Answer 1

Wes ,

you can find coding exercises (code coaches) in the community section of the android sololearn app.

> they are available in several programming languages and they are also marked with difficulty levels.
> tese are not only giving a task to solve, but also supports us by checking the solution to various test cases.

if you have specific questions you can raise a question in the `question&answer` forum.

Same here! I’ve been on the self-taught path too, and yeah 😕 it is intimidating sometimes. Anyway, let’s keep learning together!

Thank you. I will take a closer look, at that part of the app.

Answer 4

Similar problem. I constantly feel that I lack experience. Especially in the implementation of my pet projects. Also, one of the big problems is that there is no person in my environment with similar interests (namely programming) so I can't somehow share or unite with someone.

Answer 5

I get frustrated when I can't remember, the simple stuff, and when it was something I just did in the lesson. And, then I go to do it in the exercise after.

Answer 6

That’s totally normal 🙂 I believe it happens to all of us, especially when we’re learning something new. Repetition and practice really help. I’m a learner too, as I mentioned earlier & honestly, I’ll probably be one forever 😅 I mean, as long as I’m on this earth! lol 😆

Answer 7

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

Answer 8

I thought you were a teenager! 😄 Don’t worry 🙂 it’s totally normal to feel nervous or unsure in the beginning.
If you’re looking for ideas and motivation, just look around your daily life—what could you solve with code?
For example, I’m a mom and my son is learning Chinese, so I want to build a web app for him once I finish the one I’m making for my friends here

No problem, don't worry about it. :-)

Interesting, I didn't think about that. That will definitely take some thinking about.

Answer 10

I must admit, taking this self taught(?) route, is a bit intimidating.
