As somebody new with coding (learning for less than 6 months), how should one split learning up logically to avoid getting caugh

Question

As I have been learning to program, I have been facing an issue where there is so much to learn that it feels as if I can't keep up with it all. I would like to take a bite-sized approach on learning what I need to be successful. Any advice?

Answer 1

Personally, I'd pick a single long term goal (mine's Kotlin Android tool development) and take steps towards it. You should become fully knowledgable about your selected language (know every syntax and library feature.) You don't need to use it all, just enough that you think you could. The most important thing is knowing everything that exists so you can make use of it when you do need it.

Read existing codes to figure out how they do what they do. This will expand your design methods making future tasks easier as you know multiple ways to attack the problem.

Answer 2

Lego blocks is a favorite toy of my kids. Learning is like playing Lego. Start with easy algorithms and do variations with it. Then increase the number of functions doing s bit more complex functionality.

Make learning fun!!
