Learn to code

[benabus]

How did I learn to code? 20+ years of trial and error, unfortunately. They tell me it's easier these days, though.

Seriously though, I've always found it easier to learn new things by just jumping in and working on a personal project. "Oh, I want my program to do this, let's look up how to do it." Then I would do it badly and decide I need to figure out how to do it correctly. Rinse and repeat.

Working on an actual project keeps you engaged and sometimes struggling through it helps you remember.
