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
In addition to ‘just write anything and stick with it’, getting someone who knows what they’re doing to look at your code and criticize it can be useful.
I was gonna say, having my code reviewed by senior devs and SMEs was the single biggest factor in me progressing as a developer. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t research and try things by yourself first, but having your code looked over by expert eyes will point things out to you that could otherwise take years for you to learn to notice on your own.
