Tips to self taught programming

Question

Hello everyone here
I just wanna ask if anyone got tips to self taught myself programming skills?

Answer 1

Learn, practise, code, repeat

Answer 2

Then keep going and you'll improve faster than you may expect
Once you've done all the courses you wanted in this app leave it and learn further with other resources :^)

Answer 3

Actually, i found that doing a real life project beyond the tutorials, is way more beneficial for learning. The more real problems you tackle, the greater your program will be.
It doesn't have to be something complicated but it must be something useful to you, so that you use it and imrove it along the way, increasing your set of skills.

Answer 8

My advice is to start making clones of simple programs(games): Hangman, snake , Tetris, quizz app aka sololearn, dictionary, shopping list, reminder, stop watch... also coding Katas
Check the book about creating of Linux: Just for fun. Linus Torvalds was making clones of computer games when he was a kid and eventually cloned the Unix operating system. Have fun :)
