What do you do if you don't think you are getting better at programming?

Question

If it seems like you are not getting better at programming, even if you keep trying again over and over but still fail, is there another way or better way or faster way to get more skilled at it? Like a different way of learning where you will understand it 100%?

Answer 1

follow a course from Sololearn

Answer 2

Mastering a skill becomes a daily commitment. Try coding, revisit your own code for improvement. Study the code of somebody else. Finally you can become a better progeammer.

Answer 3

An easy approach is to start a project. Something like a web-page or mobile app and get it done. The part about getting it done is most important. Giving up won't get you better, but trying harder will. Solving problems on your own will help you to 'get a feeling' of how to solve other tasks. Believe me, once you have finished 2 - 4 projects on your own you will be way better in coding. From there you can submit to bigger programs or even work for hire. As soon as you are working for money you can call yourself a professional and at that point it's just about honing your skills and aquiring new ones.

Good luck and keep up the hard work!

Answer 4

dont push yourself too hard too fast, make it slow like turtle programming its rule of life being stillness, give yourself time. and leran from other sources 🐢

Answer 5

By the way if you seek an allround training I suggest you learn how to hack (white hat style of course). If you are good at it you will have a very good understanding of how to read/write good/secure code and there are loads of jobs and money in security buisness. ;)

Answer 6

actually when u learning a coding is like learning a new language for example chinese. but the good thing is choose one language (java or c# or c++) the one u like then stick to it. practice everyday until u feel better. after u master one language it's easy to learn any other programming language out there.

We all have our own ways to learn. Some people learn by reading, while others learn by doing. My personal way is to combine several ways of study;
Follow courses, not only sololearn.
Download apps for learning, but also for playing. because kids nowadays learn coding by playing. And they will learn the basic principes.
Whatch tutoriols on YouTube.
Go to meetups.
Read books and magazines.
Share questions at forums. (this is also helpful for other coders)

Answer 8

one thing I've been doing is rewriting earlier projects from scratch and comparing it with the old. if it's more efficient now, has less lines and does the same things, is better encapsulated, easier to read, needs less comments to be clear, etc then I know I've improved. likewise if I struggled to write a piece of it then I know that I've gotten worse in that area. another thing I've done is try to make something I've never done before and consider all the things I need to write, how they connect, so on. in short, I either refine and rehearse what I've done before or try something new.

creating a team of students is a good way..
