First i think about my program or any programming question.
Then build my logic and sometimes revised my concepts if I need.
Then I write it on a paper and then run it on computer..and debug my code if need😃
By practicing you can achieve lot,it doesn't matter how many time you are taking .Always try to think a little bit on any programs,make short programs,it gives you a lot.👍

Answer 5

suppose right now I am told to learn Golang then .

1. i ll read articles to see why its getting popular.

2. i ll go to golang's official website and learn the syntax, or any popular tuturial whicever comes first in google search (coz more Helpful content will be ranked higher)

3. i ll try to do everything with golang that I can do using javascript(my main language).

idea is to explore why the programmers I follow are loving golang thus try to fall in love with golang myself so that I dont get bored during practice.

4. now there are always language specific problems, I hope Stackoverflow will have my back, if not I ll ask on github/blogs/articles to experienced golang coders.

5. time for doing big projects, I ll look for Good golang projects making in youtube and do first few by copying the instructor.

next projects will be done completely by me.

6. now time to learn clean coding so i ll look for Good programming practice for it in github project docs or good articles.

7. design patterns

Answer 6

Learn and learn things that you don't know how to achieve. Learning is good, but without practice you will forget what you have learned. So practice a lot too.

Answer 7

the trick for me was finding a good video instructor that I enjoyed listening talk about code with correct information.

Answer 8

Never get angry. If you're about to, just take a break.

Answer 9

I believe there is no shortcut for learning. My passion for coding makes me try new things everyday and i make a lot of errors and then i learn from them. Practice is the key! Though some errors make me pull down my hair and scream at the top of my voice sometimes lol :-p !! But practice and curiosity always works from me in learning coding !!

Answer 10

visiting howCode or Coding Train channels on youtube. You don't learn much often at first. But watching others code is something too.

Plus, code reading skill increases. So you're being better watching...

Hope that helps :D

Answer 11

Have a lot of patience... Lots of practice and never giving up on a code once started.. Also keep challenging yourself with tougher codes..

Answer 12

practice makes perfect

Answer 13

LogoMonic Learning Mnemonic= is it like "PEDMAS"(Parenthesis, Exponentiation, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction) ? Thank you for your answer!

Answer 14

this is just my way:

Answer 15

yes Cevin, that is one type of mnemonic called an acronym. there are other types such as the peg system and the journey method, and my favourite logomonics

Answer 16

Write pseudocode is the best practice for beginner, this also readable for people who don't code.

Answer 17

it just to keep learning
