Programming is not hard..so don’t give up

Programming is not hard..so don’t give up

Most people get frustrated when they begin to code and think that it’s not their piece of cake but that’s not the case.

It seems hard to you because you are doing it for the first time.

The more you do it, the easier it becomes 😔😄

Whatever you do require lots and lots of dedication and practice so does web development.

There are tons of resources available on the internet, just utilize them at their best.

Find what you’re interested in and stick to it.
• Designer
• Front-end
• Back-end
• Full stack?

When you are in “I don’t know” phase, try your hands on all and find your interest whether you like designing a website and making it more beautiful or you like managing the database, user authentication, and other complex parts.

When you have found just stick to it and learn about it as much as you can.

It’s okay if you don’t understand 😇

You will make mistakes, will get stuck, will make silly typos…. just use the key skill that all developers have “Google Search”.

Just copy and paste your error on google and you’ll be amazed to see how many people face the same problem as yours and there are a handful of solutions for that on MDN, Stack Overflow etc.

Don’t compare yourself to others

Don’t let the progress of others discourage you.

It’s not a race. It’s an ongoing process, you’re never too old to start and you’re never done learning.

Just keep challenging yourself and continue to learn.

Discipline and consistency is the key to achieving anything.

There are bad days and there are good days but it should not affect your progress.

Learn each day and make progress even if it is the 100th fraction of 1%. You just have to do it.

So, what are you waiting for?

Get started!!
