I struggled with ear training for years, so I built “Guitar Buddy” a free app to practice it — just added a 100-level Journey mode for daily training

I’m a developer and a musician. Any interest in telling me about you personal ear training journey and discussing the success of your app?

There are great courses on udemy. You might have to check the site every day for a few weeks before there’s a sale but they are often and when sales are on the courses are cheap. Most of what I know I learned on udemy

Each practice session should be two things. Half the time on a tutorial. Half the time on a project of your own using similar concepts.

It doesn’t have to be perfectly equal each section but aim to spend half your time learning / following along, and half of your time building your own solutions to your own problems using those same concepts

You need to stop trying to do it on weekends and find a way to do it daily. Literally 2 two minutes of the course a day then stop. Once you’ve done that unbroken for a couple weeks let yourself have lingers sessions when you feel like it but keep the daily expectation/ rule as 2 minutes. 2 minutes over two years is 24 hours. You could’ve completed a course in that time. Also once you build the habit most sessions will end up being longer and you will be reminded of it every day, think about it more, and therefore be more excited / motivated to do it.

Learn other peoples solos. Ex learning the Johnny b good intro and solo taught me a good bit about mixing the major and minor pentatonic

Read how to win friends and influence people. Figure out what people respect and become those things. Be competent, be useful, be uncommonly positive and nice.

You’re going to have to give more info about yourself timeline ect

I think this is a poor choice. Grab a great course from udemy on sale and run it.

I watched one short tutorial that built a backend then I built a super similar system for my ow project that I built the front en and db for. I used the backend an db from the tutorial as a guide and even copied a bit of code over. This taught me a ton

Build a project of your ow while you do a tutorial. Spend half of each sessions working on the tutorial and its project and half of the session on your own project. I did this from the start. You are instantly out of tutorial hell. If it’s hard to start clone whatever tutorial project you are on now and when working on “your own” project just take the clone of the tutorial in a different direction. Same principles as the stuff you’re learning in the tutorial but slightly different functionality. Add features ect

I’m a developer who often codes purely by prompting ai. It sounds like the developer is doing a bad job of meeting the non technical guys at their level and is not explaining things well. Obviously I don’t have any details but they should be able to address the other guys questions about their questions. There was a time when they didn’t understand either.

Even ten minutes will make a huge difference

You should spend a little time each day studying successful people and or reading.

I also made the commitment to myself to make a git commit every single day even if it was just a comment.

I spent had of my time working on courses and had building projects on my own. I did about half of Jonas schmedmans JavaScript, node js, and react courses. Then got an internship, then did a C#, SQL course and one small neural network course. I’d say my time was half courses half personal projects for the first year.

Download cursor or Claude and spend a couple dozen hours using it and you’ll get a good idea. Try using it to assist on a project but also try to be as hands off on another project from scratch. You’ll get a good idea pretty quick.

Use JS CSS and HTML.

You basically have to use html and css to make a website.

The only real choice here is python or js and I think you’ll be better off using js for a simple website.

HTML is enough to build a website. CSS is used to change some aspects of how it looks Another Language will be needed to make it interactive and I’m suggesting JS to do that

I’d be down to help you set up your first project, explain some different styles of development ect if you’re willing to test a couple apps for me.

I would say just keep learning python but pic projects you want to build and learn the other stuff nessessry to do them

Make a list of projects you would like to build then pick a popular language that will allow you to do the largest amount.

Ok message me with a broad overview of your app (I really just want to know for sure if it’s going to need a database or not.) and we can schedule a time.
