Best way to learn to code?
| Trial and error. Tutorials and courses give you a quick shortcut, but in the end, it's just a matter of trying out and learning from the failures you make.
Also, reading other people's code is a great way to understand the flow of the language you're trying to learn.
| To understand the code, you must become the code
| Make code, whatever you want, hello world must be the first if you're superstitious, though
After hello world, do anything, a site, a game, a library, a chatbot, anything.
hit a wall? Don't know how to proceed? Google is your friend, but don't search "how to make x" search for the specific part you can't get through alone, tutorials teaching how to do things from scratch make you lazy to even plan your program so try to look only for the small details that trouble you
| Just have fun with it. If not it can be a pain, thats why i quitted programming
| Never get too caught up in reading. Get creative and make something using the concept you learned qnd build from there.
| People will try to tell otherwise but programming is art as with art expressing yourself is the best way to improve
| By doing it idiot
| Get some general problems to solve and learn the syntaxis. I suggest to start with an scripting language like Python or JavaScript, but a high level language can be good too (Java, or C). Once you domain one language the next will be a bit easier to learn because many languages share some stuff.
