MISTAKE 1 : YOU SWITCH LANGUAGES


  • Switching to a new language if one gets hard is a big mistake and quickly gets a habit.
  • Commit to one language and stick to it until you feel comfortable with it

MISTAKE 2 : YOU DON'T PRACTICE

  • Just watching tutorials won't make you learn a language, you also need to practice without tutorials
  • A good place is a website for coding challenges like codewars to just build little algorithms with your language.

MISTAKE 3 : YOU DON'T LEARN DAILY

  • Consistency plays a big role when it comes to coding. Consistency is the key
  • Better code 30 minutes daily than 5 hours once a week

MISTAKE 4 : YOU DON'T READ CODE

  • Use Github as a source of knowledge. You can find small projects written in your language and see how other people use them.
  • This gives you a deeper understanding of how language is used in practice and also some inspiration

MISTAKE 5 : YOU DON'T EXPERIMENT

  • If you just strictly follow a course, this won't teach you all facets of your language
  • Instead, also play around with your code, see what happens if you change some parts
