How to be better at coding?

I tried to learn python on my own last year from codecademy and MIT opencourseware youtube channel. I completed 80% of codecademy course and watched 4 lectures of MIT opencourseware, then I stopped, suddenly my interest level dropped maybe because I had university assignments piling up or maybe the course was not giving me any signals on how much I was improving. I am not trying to take away the value these course provide but as a commerce student, self learner and victim of instant gratification, these course did not work out for me.

Then I found neog camp, a bootcamp which is more focused on project based learning, in just a month I learned basics of HTML, CSS, javascript and even made two apps in react. Now I am on my way to take admission in level 1 of this bootcamp.

So first thing is watch a tutorial and then try to make the project from your memory, this will give you the confidence you need to keep going on this long journey also projects gives you satisfaction that you have created a working application at least it does for me.

You can join an online community where people share projects, solve doubts and make professional connections. There are tons of community out there but I have found it takes a lot of time to find a good active community, I have solved that problem for you, join this Team Tanay community where we discuss front end projects and solve doubts.

Last I would like to add is reading documentation, generally for a language there are websites which explains syntax and its usage but nothing is better than reading documentation, it will build your basics and is helpful when you are stuck.
