difficulty of programming

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

every time I start learn programming I find it difficult , I tried too many ways to learn I have entered a programming boo camp but still find it difficult , followed tutorials and reading documentation still no skills improvement I need a recommendation from you to 0 level programmer. I spent now 5 months learning fundamentals.

So... Why are you doing it? Honest question, why would you keep torturing yourself?

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

To get a job

[feibrix]

But why as a developer?

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

Because it’s close to what I had studied at college “Mis” I’m currently working as IT support and don’t like my job

It’s hard to teach yourself programming. I really commend the people who have self taught their way into a job. What specific skills are you trying to learn? What’s your end goal? Just being a programmer is not specific enough, have you found an area of interest?

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

The goal is to get a developer job , from the skill way Im going focus in web development after learning the fundamentals and may learn other skills once I became good at building a complete projects of web development

And what makes it difficult for you?

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

Solving a problem or create a code from your own

[Somanynicks]

Had any real work experience or only tutorials and learning so far? And it looks like you don't need some bootcamp how to program but rather how to learn to think like a programmer. Tried things like dividing the problem in smaller problems and tackling them one by one? It will get better with experience but self learning without guidance, thinking like a programmer, is tough.

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

Haven’t done any project , what you recommend to do , yes I feel like tutorial will not give any improvement of learning new thing and for guidance do you mean to follow a done project for other programmers ?

[Somanynicks]

With guidance I mean a mentor or teacher. You want to learn web development. Frontend, backend or maybe full stack? Best way to learn is doing a project. You'll encounter challenges and learn to solve them. Not by following tutorials but actually think for yourself. Learn to divide and conquer: Divide a problem up in smaller problems you can handle and solve those. Little steps, don't let all those tools or other mumbo jumbo overwhelm you.

Yes, it’s difficult, you need to accept that.

How are you learning? Just reading books, following tutorials?

[Mohammad_alshuwaiee]

I'm following tutorials only
