So you’ve decided you're going to learn how to code and you’re going to teach yourself. You curate a small list of tutorials that you plan to start...

Took me a while to learn how to leave tutorial hell in game development. Combined with perfectionism and fear of criticism was a very huge problem for me.
Your post is very helpful for people like me from the past, thank you!
Thank you, really appreciate the feedback!
Great advice, and great reminders. A couple of experiences I can add: I find I can learn and understand a single concept from a tutorial in isolation, but I need to keep in mind how implementing that concept in a more complete application might be different and require more flexibility. Another helpful practice I've found is to try to keep a small project going over time and add to it as I learn new things that it could use. It helps me to get a more complete understanding of what I've learned, not to mention some experience to talk about in interviews.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I love your small, ongoing project approach!
Thanks, I'm into tutorial hell from last 5 years, moving from one tutorial to another LOL. I agree with "too many expectation" thing, I need to lower it down. Right now stuck b/w Harvard CS50 vs TheOdinProject. One helps for stronger CS skills and core programming concepts and another one to become fullstack developer.. :( I want both
I'm mentoring a student who was stuck between CS50 and TOP too! I recommend sticking with one or the other. You don't have to follow both courses at the same time, otherwise you'll run the risk of spreading yourself too thin.
Thanks James,
I'm thinking to continue with TOP, and pause CS50. I guess, I can build many things without DS & Algo stuff, and I can learn them later when I am get used to programming.
Your suggestions are welcome if any for me.
Cheers :)
Sounds like a good plan. You're very welcome :)
Great advice, I am new to this field, can you tell me how to find an opensource project.
Thanks! Id recommend starting here firstcontributions.github.io/
You can search for projects too. If you click on a project it will show you the issues tagged as 'good first issue'
Thanks
Some interesting points here. Hopefully this helps some devs that feel stuck.
Thanks, I hope so too!
Thanks man! needed this
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Great post - tutorial hell is my least favorite level of limbo 😜
Thanks Ash :)
Well written! 👏
Thank you :)
Thanks for the advices, friend!
You're welcome Airton!
I'm just now starting to learn front-end development on my own, so I really appreciate the time/effort you put into the resources like your website and discord for the community!
Thanks Eric, that means a lot!
