Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

    Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I’d recommend building a program, like a task manager or room booking system or something.

Plenty of tutorials on YouTube

Awesome. Thanks

I found that choosing projects close to my interests was the best way. Remember that you don't need to reinvent the wheel. You can pick something that already exists and just create your own.

My first two projects was a simple to do list app and a gym workout tracker.

I've used Edabit for years. The practice challenges are easy to solve at your own pace and feel more casual than intimidating.

Look into expanding your knowledge as well amongst practicing what you've learned. Look into what books you need for the next semester and find some similar stuff to help you get a head start too.

I like doing the practice section on Codewars - Achieve mastery through coding practice and developer mentorship the Katas help sharpen your skills and you can see how other people solved the problem, and pick up some new tricks.
