What's the best way to approach coding?

Question

I'm basically learning to code for myself. I know it takes time, but I'm just curious about the best approach, overall, to learning and or having a full mastery(while continuing to learn) of coding. First post by the way.

Answer 1

Don't rush it. Programming is a complex subject, demanding great patience and attention to detail. It will pay off if you take the time to really understand the fundamentals.

Most importantly, code, code, code. Even if you only have 15 minutes here and there. Consistency is key.

Answer 2

get behind that keyboard!

Answer 3

First very very basic step: Learn boolean algebra. Or, And, Not, Xor and the combinations. Then research what is a variable, then a function. What is the scope of a variable.

If this seems easy, look for Object Oriented Programming concepts.

All this is common for almost any modern language.

Finally, try to code, code and code. It's the better way to learn.

Answer 4

Learn the the impact of an efficient data structure and efficient algorithms in your code. If you can't tell why bubble sort is slower than quick sort, you probably aren't ready to program yet.
