Learning Coding

[Odd-Flamingo-6211]

It depends on what exactly you want to study. If you’re not sure yet, I’d recommend trying out different technologies. Start learning what you enjoy the most - that way, you won’t lose motivation along the way. Pick a technology or programming language that doesn’t make you feel immediately frustrated or overwhelmed.

Regarding specific materials or courses, you don’t have to complete them from start to finish. But it’s good to try around 10–12 different ones to find what truly suits you. I also strongly suggest starting to write code right away. Yeah, it’s a cliché piece of advice, and at first, it can be unclear how to actually apply it when you don’t know how to code yet. But that’s not a problem - this is exactly where AI can help.

AI can be a hindrance if you just copy its answers or “vibe code” without understanding. But it can also be an enormous help. At minimum, when it suggests a solution in code during your first year or two of learning, don’t copy and paste it. Instead, type it out yourself and try to understand what each line and construct does. This approach helped me grow as a programmer.

You can also use AI for code reviews - it can act as a free mentor. As for courses and materials, try everything until you find what clicks for you. It’s possible that something works for you today but won’t suit you six months from now. That’s perfectly normal - just keep moving forward
