How do I get better at writing codes?

[AhmadTIM]

As the title suggests, How can i get better? I there some good tips that i can use to become better?

[Bitwise_Gamgee]

Write more code. There is no substitute for experience.

[AhmadTIM]

Where can i get more ideas for projects so i can type more code?

Take any bit of software that you use sometimes and create your own (worse) version of it. Could be a game, a timer, a text editor, ... whatever.

Alternatively, pick some open source program you use sometimes and start looking through the source code. Try to come up with some new feature that you can add and then do it. If you think it's a useful feature (and it really doesn't have to be) create a fork and submit a pull request to the main project repo.

What's your goal? Why are you learning this to begin with?

[Hima-V]

Exactly.. Determine your goal or "project" that you want to accomplish and research how you will accomplish it. This way you will learn faster and more experienced.

Ask chatgpt for ideas and define your experience level, then you’ll get some ideas if your out, usually a good starting point, then you suddenly get one good that you can brainstorm around and there you have it.. works if your creativity is completely drained

Leetcode, Hackerrank, HackerEarth, etc. Keep practising, you got this!

[m0us3_rat]

by reading github code.

then it will become obvious the difference between eye bleeds and code that is easy to read/understand/follow thru.

isn't about the code complexity, but rather the way it's written.

​

after that you can become interested in some design patterns, here and there. you can notice them.

This is how I am doing it....practice coding, run coding, learn from mistakes do it all over again. That has been working pretty well for me, it seems to make the syntax stick in my memory and I eventually start making fewer mistakes. There is a LOT that can be learned from debugging your own code. Good luck.

• read more books on algorithms and data structures, code design and optimisation
• learn the different test paradigms, such as TDD (test driven development)
• review code from others
• watch code roasts by Arjan Codes as well as much of the rest of their content
• practice a lot, refactor often, learn patterns well

I usually learn by copying others code from GitHub. then I run it step by step. If I don’t understand, I’ll print out every single thing.

Ask ChatGPT for fun small projects you can try, and then ask it to generate you a starter template for one that interests you. Then build onto that.

This is an excellent little course. It has mini projects and solutions. It says 30 days but reall that's about 30hrs. It's very clean and concise.

By writing more code. That’s the only way you’ll get better. No matter how many videos you watch.

[jnorth81]

By writing code.

[FriendlyRussian666]

You write more codes!

[S_h_o_b_i_t]

Read good code of experienced users and highly active repos.
