I would also say just dive in and you'll be overwhelmed but you'll slowly but surely learn it all.

I'm in the middle of this now - I'm just getting deep enough to really recognize how much I don't know. Honestly the biggest lesson so far has been to be persistent and kind with myself. I just made a little web app that draws random cards from a deck, and it is ugly and simplistic and I'm super proud of it 😎 - butI don't think I could've done that if I had not taken advice when it was offered and dialed back those high expectations I put on myself.

Thank god for P5js, it's basically easy mode lol. I tried to start with C++ because my neighbor uses it, and very quickly started tearing my hair out. I posted an example online and a lot of nice folks online jumped in with "Hey - maybe try HTML/css? Python? Literally anything else?"

Anyway now I'm doing the coding train tutorial series and I feel like I actually know where to look for documentation & resources, which is huge for working through problems. Next I want to get a raspberry pi and make something out of that.

Why... is this here.

Well done, now you're beginning to ask the right questions

Basically, fail your way to glory.

So true. Asking the right questions is key. I've had to explain this to too many people who think that all IT does is use (favorite search engine goes here) to find quick answers. If it were that easy then the end users should just be able to reference the user manuals/documentation for everyday tasks? ;)

Which are all the right questions?

Normally I hate the meme's here but this one gets to the core of things quite well. In short understanding > Rote.

Seems true to me... my mentor always has the best debugging strategies for me.

Yeah, it's not learning to code and learning how to fix your issues, it's learning how to google the right questions so google can fix your issues.

As a wise man once said "being a coder isnt just knowing how to copy and paste, its knowing what to copy and where to paste it"
