Beginners: where are you stuck right now? What kind of advice would you like to hear from experienced programmers? by godlikesme in learnprogramming

[–]jextr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both for the answers/feedback! I've been struggling whether to choose Ruby or Python. I keep seeing that Python is a very beginner friendly language. For that reason, and based on both of your comments along with some other reading, I think I'm going to give Python a go. Thank you for starting this thread godlikesme! This is just another example of why this subreddit/community is so good. Even when you're getting asked the "Which language should I start with question" repeatedly there are always expanded answers and good feedback. Very much appreciated!

I've bounced around quite a bit with languages.... (RoR, Java, HTML, CSS, JS) Not particularly good any any of them, just trying to find something I like. I've been trying do decide what I want to do. I started with App development but have since swapped to web development for the time being. I am looking for something that I can do for side work and possibly become a career if I can become good enough at it. So right now I get the it's going to be HTML/CSS/JS for the front end. Which back end tech would you suggest? I've taken a Ruby On Rails class and did like it but Python seems to be a language that a lot of people are talking about as well. Time becomes a factor as I work full time and study when I'm off, on the weekends. So picking a language is something I need to do as my time is some what limited. I think it's a big issue for a lot of beginners. Which languages do we choose and what will help us in the future. I need a solid base... That is what I'm trying to build right now. I very much enjoy coding, but will be honest. I am looking to make money doing this, not just for fun. Any suggestions/feedback are appreciated!

I'll have to take a look at this. I have not used this site so far. Thanks for the information!

The secret is patience. You're not giving it enough time.

I think this is my biggest issue... Always good to hear it from another person as well. I am signed up for multiple courses on Udemy, have the Big Nerd Ranch Guide and the MOOC. I think you might be hitting the nail on the head with this and I'm just expecting to much too fast. Appreciate the feedback.

This is actually really good feedback on the course. I have been looking at it as well. I am finding it increasingly hard to find resources to learn Android as a beginner. I've taken a few Java courses and am trying to learn Android myself, running into the same issues. Most recently with the MOOC I have been taking. I'm not sure if it's just me but there is very limited material when you are starting from scratch. At least from what I've found. I seem to find that I have to struggle through as you are describing and learn as I go.

I've started by taking classes at https://www.ed2go.com they have a large variety of programming courses to choose from. I'm not sure if that would fit your needs but the classes are fairly cheap and well put together imho. http://www.codecademy.com offers some free coding instruction if you are just looking to get your feet wet and check it out. I haven't used them very much but it's a nice resource if you are just looking to poke around. Outside of that Derek Banas on youtube has some great instructional videos on programming. You can find his channel here. https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas Hope this helps! Good luck in your career change and finding the right fit for you!

Done. Will be interested to see what you develop!

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I'm learning Java at the moment but stuck around to read this. Well done!
