What is your motivation for learning? Do you agree that - Repetition is the mother of skill/s?
repetition in coding will make you more skillful.

My motivation to learn is to become a better version of myself. Yes, I do believe that repetition is the mother of skills. But in terms of coding, you must repeat by doing a lot of projects not by re-reading the books. If you are stuck then you can refer but starting again from zero is a waste of time.

I don't know why some people don't hate but also don't like to do programming .I think the best way to express yourself is programming the best thing about it has whole world of scope for the people who love it. Today we are surrounded with technology and when ever i see any I just start thinking “how those people have done that” and then come the word programing today we are entering in era where anything and everything need to be computerized and every thing needs to be connected with each other.

Practice* is the act of making sure you learn something through mere repetition. Opt for that.

@Sofi, i agree it feels good yah 😊
Programming is really cool! it is how I express myself too! 😊 surely it motivates me to go beyond each day! 😊😊😊

can't agree more... Steve Jobs is such an example for me!

I always loved math and people couldn't understand why. On the other hand, I can't figure out why they hate it. It's pure logic and of course to master it, you need practice, like for anything else too.
I have also always been interested in technology and natural sciences in general. If I could, I would study everything related to it :'D
I didn't go for Computer Science at first, as I was afraid to fail due to the lack of experience in coding. But during my math studies I developed more and more interest in it and wanted to visualize higher mathematics and its applications. Now I'm studying Computational Science and Engineering and struggling with the speed of having to learn languages other than Matlab, which I have already used in my math studies.
If you know a programming language, then the basics of another one are attained fast. Though, more sophisticated code is quite a hassle and that's why I want to get better in some languages like Python and C++. To look faster through existing code, program relatively easy subparts without spending to much time reading through the same references again and again, and also starting bigger projects myself.
It's auch a fantasting feeling if you programmed something meeningful from scratch or contributed important parts! Translating math into machine code, make it visible to others and scream (in your head) against their faces: "That's exactly why math is so cool! Look what you can do with it, literally everything!"
I really hope that this passion never dies, it is so important for research and extending human knowledge. Keep following your dreams, never give up!

@mathias can't wait to see your python programs! keep that passion alive!

Your point of view is interesting!

@CC Calvello you're right.
Programming expresses the potential of your intelligence and I enjoy it. I use to program and well ... it also helps me keep safe

Yes I think practice and repetition always makes perfect. My biggest motivation is that I love improvement and become better in things that I like to do. By the way, do you have insta? Lol.

I like being able to do things people can't understand, and this is what happens when I take my computer science courses out in public transportation, it feels so nice, I feel like I am smart and it motivates me to get better.

Nice one Matthias! I am agreed the importance of repetition in learning.

As Steve Jobs said . everyone should learn programing.if you have any doubt than watch matrix (1999) movie.and than imagine today without any software

You point out the main art of programming. I personally think
while practice is true:
you become perfect in programming.

Repetition is important for muscle memory. Your brain is a muscle too so practice makes perfect.
