Answer 1

[PART 1]

You don't have to worry about mistakes, there will always be there. No matter how experienced you are, as long as you're learning, you will definitely make them.

If there is one thing that I think is critical for programmers, it is searching skills. Yes, asking questions is good, but searching before asking is more important. And this bring up on thing that is (in my opinion) very important as well: English.

Most articles and tutorials you will find in programming will be in english. You are most likely to find an answer in english than any other language, and you'll find it faster as well. But I can you're already good in english, so no worries on this point.

About practice projects: It really depends on you. When I was learning, I also was looking for projects and was hoping someone will give me a great idea for one, but I eventually get bored. Solution? Think of your own project. Think of something that can be really useful to you (and probably others), and make it.

[PART 2]

What matters is that you keep thinking of new things yourself, that is your best motivation. Learn new frameworks, and make programs as you go, otherwise you'll end up forgetting or confusing things.

Finally the technology part: This also completly depends on your field. There are thousands of tools available.

TL;DR
1. Searching skills
2. English
3. Testing and making programs as you go

Answer 10

Not enjoying the process.

Giving up too early when it seems too hard.

Answer 12

Create your own product (keep it simple)
Steps:
1) Write a purpose for your application
2) Take a piece of paper and draw your first interface.
3) Download XAMPP for PHP and MariaDB
4) Download "Visual Studio Code" editor.
5) Create a directory/folder
6) Apply MVC architectural pattern to your subdirectories and files.
8) Use HTML/CSS/JS for the front end, PHP on the backend and the fork MariaDB for your database.

Like this, you can make web applications that can be opened on a phone, tablet and PC.
If this is too much then find a programming job for 2 years and everything I said will be a piece of cake.
Books? Perhaps:
1) O'Reilly Learning Web Design 4th edition
2) Murach PHP & MySql 3rd edition
I hope this helps you to achieve what you want. This is a beautiful and interesting journey. Make your customers and users happy. 🙂

Answer 18

There is no such thing as mistake you can make is not learning anything from errors received.

The industry is ever changing, so stick to what you love would be the best advice I can give you. It is always great to branch out, but if you want to be the best in the industry, do what you love and love how you do it.

Choose a few additional languages and them to your "todo" list but never learn more than one language at a time, it will only confuse you.

Read blogs and articles. Code read the industry news and listen to the pros and what they are saying. That way you can easily branch out and learn about upcoming tech.

Regarding languages, never ever bite off more than you can chew. Learn one language at a time and apply it. Get a niche and kind of stick to it. Instead of trying to be a master of all trades, try to be a master of one. Choose something like Python or Javascript which has a big following and can branch out into tons of different streams. They are also super easy and fun to learn. If your job requires you to learn something else, then do that instead.

That is advice I wish I had 10 years ago.

Good luck!
