Will I be Able To?

Hi everyone,

Am a student currently studying Architecture. Over the last couple of months, I've been learning how to code on my own using some documents from the web and also YouTube tutorials. I can say I've gotten much knowledge from these and I am confident that I can continue learning and get to do better in the coming days.

The main problem is that we are resuming studies and Architecture is a very demanding course. I am just in doubt if I will be able to balance the studies and my part-time coding studies. If anyone can advise on how to go about this. I would gladly appreciate it!

I suggest using the Pomodoro technique to keep you focused while learning to code. Set aside 25 minutes and be fully focused on a coding task. Do this at least once a day (every day!) and you'll make it!

In my opinion, if you are paying to learn architecture you should focus on that. You can learn to code later. If you feel you have time to do both then try to have some material handy for when you've got some spare time. Like a book.
I'm sure the software that architects use have the ability to add plugins. Maybe look in to that.
It might make you more valuable as an architect.
