Being self taught is no F***ing joke!

Question

so I've been on and off learning code for about a few years (2-3).Now collectively I would say the amount of practice I've put into it would be about 1 year and a few months worth but I personally feel my knowledge would be of 6 months. I'm practicing C# and running out of ideas on how to train my skills. Yes I can just review code over and over givin by sololearn or any other sight that has a C# tut but that does little for how to implement that into your own code.(if you don't have a 100% understanding.)

Answer 1

Search for interview questions, it's a good way to find relatively quick tasks that will expose lots of programming concepts, as interviewers want to see you demonstrate those skills. To learn you have to keep pushing yourself, reviewing code on here is ok, but it's the easy stuff and becoming solid with it will make you good at... easy stuff. Push yourself with challenging tasks and the easy stuff will simply start making sense. Then more complex things will be easier because the foundations are at your disposal

Answer 2

training you self with out a teacher to give you assignment that have to do with what you just learned like "tomorrow class I want you to make a script that has arrays, user input...ect." then help you understand why your code doesn't work and how you can make it work.

Answer 3

I am self taught too, on and off for a while and then eventually made a bigger effort which has paid off. There are lots of different results on a google search, go through and pick ones you think you need to work on.

Answer 4

Thank you for your insight I know codefight has an interview questionnaire I can practice on that.
