A framework to learn how to code

What I wish I knew when learning to code

1. Get a big picture view of the code/language you're trying to learn. Read several examples of good code. Skim the code the first time. Think of questions of what the language is trying to do.

2. Find a cheatsheet(s) for the language you're trying to learn. Stick to one credible source. With the cheatsheet handy try to answer questions from step 1.

3. Find solid examples of concepts/syntax of good code. Stick to one credible source (like Code Academy).

Side note: At this point I also realized _that learning to read & write code is like reading/writing music 🎼.

Learning a programming language is like learning to read a different type of Music or instrument. More about that in another blog post

1. Watch videos of people coding (from a credible source, maybe not Youtube). Maybe even watch the video at 2x speed

2. The fun part, code & do the work!
