Advice for a begginer programmer.
Posted by nikica92213123123@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 6 comments
Hello everyone, I'm new to programming and so far and its honestly been very fun figuring out how everything works. I've been learning on codedex and just finished their basics python course and now I'm doing some mini projects and trying to get a better understanding of them before moving to their intermediate course.
So what I've been wondering is after completing the courses where should I go next, should I start doing project on my own and bettering my understanding of python or should I start learning about frameworks.
I'm feeling quite lost because I'm not quite sure where to go after this and how to expand my knowledge further as its my first time learning any programming language.

Decide what you would like to build, and then figure out what’s the easiest way to build it with python.
For example, if you want to build websites, you will need to learn basic HTML and CSS, then learn how to use a web framework like Flask in python.
I recommend you start building little projects as soon as you have learned the very basics of these things.
Then you can learn more python and more about the domain-specific stuff simultaneously. It’s nice to see your projects get more and more sophisticated as you progress.

Start typing and running your small snippets of code today. Like right now.
OR I can go into a 10 minute rant of what helped me and what I think is the best way to start and the best programming language and the worst things to do and blah blah blah. Then sell you a course for 100 dollars just so that you can repeat this post in a months time from not having typed anything yourself and unknowingly be trapped in what is known as tutorial hell.
Literaly just those 2 options. Your choice.

There's your problem. Programming is a means to an end. Set up a goal and do what you need to do to reach it.

Learning to code is like learning to pole vault. There’s a bunch of theory you should know but BY FAR the most important part is doing it for real, a lot.
So start a project, see how far you get. Learn new stuff when your projects need it. I’d say expect to spend about two thirds of your time actually programming, and one third doing more courses or whatever

Just focus on building your own small projects for now.
