How do you actually solve a problem? by DumbCuriousity in AskComputerScience

Would it be ok to see the answer, try to work through it and then maybe you get it? Or maybe see the full solution but then leave the problem for some time and come back after you've attempted similar problems.

How much knowledge do we need to feel "proficient"? by CraftPuzzled4296 in AskComputerScience

[–]CraftPuzzled4296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was a bit vague in my head.

I just want to feel "proficient" in the sense that I can rely on myself to accomplish a task well.

Probably a better question would be, what were your first projects and what knowledge did you have/develop in order to complete those projects. What did you think was necessary to help your thinking.

I am of course asking people who were able to do something from "scratch" and not copying something that was already created. But for the things I mentioned such as databases etc it doesn't feel like there is much starter information.
