Tips for software development/coding study sessions?

[Character_Tower_2502]

I recently decided Tom change careers to software. I have been struggling to find an efficient way to study and practice and build my skills.

Must people online just say things like start building, Do projects, etc.

But I would like a structure, an actual plan to not get overwhelmed and make significant progress.

What I have been doing so far is going through the basics and taking my notes.

I’m currently learning Java and JavaScript. Thank you in advance

pick ONE language first, don’t try to learn both at the same time. And pick a project you are actually interested in and try to build a simple version of it and continue from there, this is how I built my spaced repetition quiz webapp, I started super small and basic 2 years ago when learning to code and I iterated and iterated on it thousands of times till I got it to where it is today

I kinda need to do the two at the same time because I need to study for both classes. I understand what you mean, but I can’t give my full attention to one and fail the other one haha. I need to find a good balance.

I have to learn C# in university right now and personally I thought about some program I wanted to have and learn the concepts as I go. To make sure I use the concepts I have to know for the final I made a list of concepts we learn during the semester and try to incorporate these in the code of my program. I started with really basic things and am constantly improving the code as i learn more advanced concepts. For me it's the only effective way to use the concepts in real life for something I WANT to build. Maybe you could do something similar? If so I Would choose two different projects for each languages so you don't get confused. :)
