Salute! My name is Álex and I'm passionate about solving programming problems. I'm no master, only a beginner ("Judge me by my size, do you?") and I really hope to contribute to this community!
I relate to this in so many levels. Last year, I tried to make a game on Unity, using C#, but I'd not seen a lot of programming. What did I do?! Followed a 40 video-tutorial series.
It was the biggest mistake I could make. It was so fast and I thought I was learning it all, but most of it was copy and paste, even though I watched every second of it.
When I ended it, I was lost and couldn't add new functionalities to the game or even change a little of what it had. So the game was put on hold.. :/
Buuut, now that I've worked sometime on a company that values learning from practice and discussing the results, I've been back on it. That made me be not as lost as before, because I have an idea of how I should face those problems. I must say that having a realistic expectation is very satisfying and helps me to maintain myself motivated ;)
Thanks for the great article!! Hope you guys find your learning ways too hahaha
