Journey I Learn How to Code

Hello my name is Juan, here I want to share my experiences while I learn to code. It will be short story

I started learning coding since 2 or 3 years ago. At first, I was confused how can I understand the syntax of code. I start with many question such as Why there is if and else, for, while and do while loop, how do I know my code is working, how can I display the output and many more. So I ask my friend to help me out, I ask many friends to explain the code they made. After that it's going better little by little I know the syntax of code means.

But the journey doesn't stop there. I see people can build great apps, beautiful webs and smart technology. How did they do that ?!?. So I decided to learn from youtube tutorials, articles and free courses. But after dozens of tutorials, articles and courses my skills doesn't improve significant. It's just make me envy to the creator, why he can easily write a code and know every syntax, method etc.

Finally, after that phase I start to build my own project. Don't care if it will be great or not, I just want to code by myself. And do you know what ?!, I make a flow, code, debug and I ask so many times to many people "how to do this and that". And from that way I learn a lot of things. Now I can remind a syntax, method and etc. and the most important thing is I know what to do while I'm coding.

Maybe the point is:

  1. You can not easily write a code if you just watch tutorials and read some articles or join a courses.
  2. Tutorials, articles and courses will help you to gain more informations about code and how to do something.
  3. Make your own apps, just don't care about the result if it will be good or not just, let it be.
  4. Consistent
  5. Enjoy every learning progress and take your time don't be rush.

Hope you can enjoy it and let me know your journey !.
