Time

Question

How much time need to practise for become a good programer? 5 or 9 hour daily?

Answer 1

That just depends upon you and how quickly you're trying to accomplish your goal. If time isn't a matter, then just do it at your own comfortable pace; maybe that's 10 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, 6 hours, 18 hours, etc... Really just depends upon you. As long as you're doing SOMETHING toward learning it, you'll eventually learn it.

If you're trying to learn it sooner than later, I'd recommend spending a few hours on it each day. A couple of hours learning the language and a couple of hours practicing what you learned. You don't want too much or too less. If you do too much, you'll get burnt out and have a higher potential of quitting (unless you're passionate about it), and if you do too little, you'll not progress as quickly and have potential to take longer breaks & forget what you've learned. So find a good middle ground for yourself.

A tactic that I've used is to tell myself that I'll do at least ONE chapter every day; that's my short-term daily goal. If a book has 24 chapters, I can easily finish it in 24 days. However, I often find that once I actually get started and I finish a chapter within 30 mins or less, I want to do more and so I read another chapter or two. See what I mean? I already feel accomplished because I met my goal, but I went beyond my goal and accomplished even more as a result also.

To further assist, read through the entire language completely even if you don't fully understand it yet. Then practice what you could understand. When you're done, read through it AGAIN, but this time write down notes of any concept you still don't fully understand. Afterward extensively research the concepts on your notes and practice them to solidify your learning. Repeat the process until you don't have to write down notes and you'll become a good programmer before you know it.

lol Programming is something I've been passionate about since I was a kid. Sadly, I've spent many all day/nighters working on code, but because I loved it, that time went by without me even realizing I had spent so much time on it.

Most people would get burnt out on pulling an 18-hour shift on programming, so I certainly don't recommend it to anyone, especially a beginner. :D If you have the passion and drive for it though, then you may find yourself in that situation, especially if you're stuck trying to debug something you can't figure out. Back when I first started this job, I was tasked with creating all the software we needed for this office, and I did that a few times during that period. I don't do it often cuz I'm getting older and need my sleep. lol

Answer 3

Yeah you don't need 5 hour per day.
1 hour is more than enough

Answer 4

18 hours?
