Code bit ideas

Question

i was wondering how you guys get the ideas of coding posts. I'm learning Java and i solve the practice problems, but it doesn't really help me to improve my coding skills. I see the trending Java coding posts and ideas blows my mind. So....How to get creative?

P.S I always learn without applying so i wanted to break this routine. :)

Answer 1

You can start creativity by first being practical. What are some projects you can/could code that you might use? Sure, there are a thousand currency converters, but not one that you have made (for example). What about something that tells you the weather, in any given city?

After you have started a few ideas like these, you can start to notice some things that maybe you would really like... or take the ideas up a notch.
You could start putting ideas into a game - players choose 2 cities and the one with the highest rainfall wins!
And so on...

Answer 2

Of course! The more you code, the more you'll be able to translate a real life problem to lines of code because you've become more versed in the syntax and methods.

Answer 3

You either are or are not. You can't really teach creativity. For the uncreative, just make other people's ideas

Answer 4

Actually that really helps! Thank you so much Ausgrindtube !

Answer 5

I agree with that creativity is not taught. However, experience may help, right?
