The Worst Programming Habit

The programming inside of you dies when you spend your life watching Tutorials, and you suffer in Tutorial Hell.

Many of you spend a great deal of time watching tutorials on YouTube, medium, and other websites in order to learn how to program, but the main thing you never learn is how to execute your own code after watching the tutorials only.

How do I learn to program?

Learning just a few concepts and then creating a project as a beginner will enable you to learn to program. Try to create something by yourself if you are only learning two.

Concepts. Learning new things, and building practical skills, is a better practice.

As soon as you begin to do good projects, you will discover that you are learning at a much faster rate.

How do I get out of it?

Here are the tips, so you can come back to your tutorial if you’re stuck in it and know how to get back here.

  1. You know your stuff, but you cannot implement them in projects.

  2. You get overwhelmed by making large-scale applications.

  3. You cannot finish any project that you started.

Learn how to program; don’t learn how to code

It is a way to become a better developer if you learn to write a program and then build some projects, it builds your confidence level as well if you design, plan, code, and test yourself with the program it’s an awesome way to develop your skills.

Stop watching tutorials

Instead of watching tutorials, just clean your mind and start to focus on the project you are working on

Briefly go over design patterns

Patterns are really important for a developer’s design because they help them in creating an awesome and easier-to-understand project. A good pattern will help you focus on logic and make your project easier to understand.

Plan your project before you start coding

The first thing you should do is to think about the project you want to create and what are the components used for a project. Think about the user interface, moving parts, and other components to make the project work well. Think about the application you want to create, and use your knowledge to make the application work best. You should probably recheck and research the most essential things about it.

Start coding

The best way to learn is to create some project work, start coding, and have a look at your own work if you run into some errors, find out the solution in Google. This is the best way to learn about yourself and code yourself.
