My back story

It was february 2016 when I started coding.

First stared reading how to start, which language to chose etc. and everyone had different language to recommend as first to learn.

I choiced c++, I’ve watched series of totorials, 30 episodes each about 1h long in a week… and oh my god, most of this things was so useless.

I really regret that i haven’t read more about what path should i take when learning basics. I could spent way less time learning something that won’t be helpful in the future.

About 1 month leater i started playing with web development, technologies like(chronologically ordered):

Html Css Js, Jquery Php

It went slight after i learned main concepts of programming.

Side projects

When i started developing my own ideas I realized that what i’ve learn is not enough and how important things like frameworks, software architecture, developing technologies are.

I think that’s the part when I learning the most. Doing something on your own makes you learn new things that will help you with development, it makes you think like programmer, it teaches you essential parts of that job.

I’ve read many stories from tech students and how much time they spent to teach concepts that you can learn on your own in an hour, e.g Logo Design Tutorial

you just explained in 12 minutes something that my teacher couldn’t do in a HEKIN semester[…] — Graphic design student

If you want to learn programming i strongly advice you to go deep in whatever project you want to develop. You’ll make mistakes, it will teach you something what any tutorial or article can’t teach you, Practical knowledge.

Seriously you don’t even know how fast skills and how much skills you can get.
