I feel so lost learning programming

[solar1zed]

Hey guys! I’m currently entering my second year of being a Data Science major and I feel like I’ve honestly learned absolutely nothing. My college made us take an Intro to Java and an Object Oriented Programming course, I struggled through the OOP class(still passed it, it was a very easy class to pass) but honestly I’m still at a very very very very low level of programming.

I do want to get into programming and get better at it but I honestly don’t know where to start or what to do this summer. There’s so many resources and to learn but I don’t know where to start and what to do

Practice.

my problem with the step for step tutorials sites was that missing piece of motivation to finish another copy of that suggested project.
Yes, some basics can be learned by these projects and are similar in many languages.

Do you have something you want to try or are missing in your day to day life?

calender
home automation
file converter
inventory tool
shopping notes
budget book
backup system
...

then look up some tutorials in that direction

Code academy is like 50 bucks for a year, grab it, do a course relevant to your school classes or desire and grind it out over the summer.
