Mistakes😕 while learning to code

You always wonder why are you stuck at the same position and feel like there is no progress on your study😵?

Feeling stuck in your studies can be frustrating and disheartening. It's like being on a treadmill 🏃‍♂️, putting in the effort but not seeing any forward momentum. It's natural to question why you're not making progress despite your efforts. This feeling of stagnation can drain your motivation and leave you feeling lost. It's important to reflect on your study habits, goals, and perhaps seek guidance or new approaches to break through this plateau. Remember, progress is rarely linear, and setbacks are part of the learning process. Keep pushing forward, and eventually, you'll break free from the rut and see the fruits of your labor. 🌱💡🔍

Follow these 8 small but effective ⚡tips to make progress in your coding journey.

1. Learning multiple programming language at once or in a short period of Time:- Attempting to learn multiple programming languages simultaneously can lead to confusion and slower progress due to divided focus and overlapping concepts, hindering deep understanding and mastery in any one language.

2. Not practicing enough problems:- Not practicing enough problems in programming can ⏳ slow your progress. It's like learning to swim without diving in! Dive into problems 🏊‍♂️ to boost your skills and understanding! 🚀

3. Jumping courses or using multiple resources:-
Jumping courses or using multiple resources in programming can scatter focus 🔄. It's like trying to build a house with different blueprints! Stick to one plan for solid results! 🏠👷‍♂️

4. Having Only long term goals (make you demotivated easily):- Relying solely on long-term goals in programming can lead to demotivation 😔. It's like hiking without enjoying the view along the way! Celebrate small victories for sustained motivation! 🏆🚶‍♂️

5. Jumping directly into development:- Jumping directly into development without understanding basics is like building a house without a foundation! It may lead to confusion and errors. Start with fundamentals for a sturdy programming journey! 🏗️👷‍♂️

6. Not deploying projects:- Not deploying projects after development is like baking a cake 🎂 but never tasting it! Deployment brings your work to life 🚀, boosts confidence 💪, and invites feedback 📝 for growth. Embrace the full journey! 🌟

7. Ignoring Data structures and Algorithms:-
Ignoring data structures and algorithms is like building a house 🏠 without a blueprint! It may work at first, but collapses later. Mastering them lays a solid foundation 💪 for your programming journey! 🚀💻

8. Not preparing for interviews:-
Not preparing for interviews is like going to battle 🛡️ without armor! It leaves you vulnerable and unprepared. Invest time in practice 💼 and research 📚 to conquer the challenges ahead! ⚔️🔍

Great share @fazicodes! I agree on the practice. Especially as a beginner myself who is diving into a variety of languages and concepts in a bootcamp, I agree that practice can help me to better to retain those concepts. 💕
