So I’m an on/off noobie but have been focusing on actually sticking with programming what I’ve been working on is Python but this question is for programming in general. For me it’s hard but I want to see how I can get better
Like are these good ways to get good:
Follow tutorials, then work on ways of adding your own twists or changes? Or trying to code it in something else?
Work on assignments from a resource you’re using like in my case Python Crash Course and attempt to redo the assignments without looking back?
Experiment with multiple libraries and library methods or built in methods?
Please share any other ways especially ones that helped you
Also when would be good to start a new language after learning one
I always try to build things that I might want!
I am fortunate to have a lot of other hobbies, so I build little things for myself for those hobbies.
One of my first scripts I ever wrote around 2004 was a Perl script to get what song was playing and automatically update my IM “status”.
I also made databases of comics and CDs for myself too.
The easiest way to get better is by doing, and doing is way easier when it’s something I care about.
