First steps in Dev world

Hello everybody 👋 !

This is my first post and I would like to share some tips & tricks from my newbie experience and maybe help other beginners.

One year ago I have decided to change my career and start learning programming.

So here are some tips & tricks:

• Find your path

  • I am not good at self learning, so I've decided to join a school, for me it was Codecool
  • If you are not like me, I strongly recommend freecodecamp
  • Or just have a look here (the hard and long way) or get inspired here

• You do not need technical background, you do not need to know math (some basics are still recommended:))

• Do not try to learn everything ❗ (there are a lot of programming languages and tools)

• Start from the basics and then add more and more (don't jump into OOP or some fancy frameworks)

• Be consistent (try to code and learn something new everyday)

  • You can practice on codewars or get more advices here
  • Start your dream project
  • Look for some applications ideas here on dev

• Don't give up and be optimistic

Thank you!🙏
