It's been a few months since I started learning coding. As a person under liberal arts education, learning coding used to be considered a way of committing suicide of our brains. Fortunately, by the time of the development of programming, we have some programming languages that fit people like me now.
As I mentioned in About me, Python is the first programming language I learned. After a few years, it helps me a lot when I learn JavaScript. However, I make mistakes often because of the syntax difference between them. And still, I have a long way to go in the algorithm.
If you need me to make it short, I would say Java is my nightmare. Many concepts of it are very tough for understanding to me. I guess that's why programming is considered a skill for people good at math. In addition, everything has to be declared. It's like you're talking to an idiot. For example, you must tell it "1" is not only a number but what kind of number it is. But on the other hand, I like its strict part. It makes the code clearer if you're willing to dive into it. You need to have extraordinary patience and wisdom when you talk to idiots everyday. That's probably the reason why Java developers deserve higher payback.
HTML and CSS are very different from the above. For example, the count starts from 1 instead of 0. Although it takes a while to get used to it, I find the core part is the structure. In my native language, the term "programming" usually comes with "design". Both of them are relatively loose languages, so it's crucial to have a good code structure from the very beginning.
Learning coding is not as tough as I thought so far. There are still a lot of things that make me feel frustrated sometimes though, it also has its interesting part. Whenever I lose my way, I always try to recall the reason why I learn it and what it's for. However sometimes it still doesn't work so...... it takes time...... I guess.
