7 Silver Rule For Beginner To Learn Programming

First Decide Your Programming Language

Most important things to learn programming decide the language, in latest time there are number of the language each language have own feature and existence. So decide the language clearly, each language own simplicity & complexity, don't find the world best language due to in programming journey you need multiple language to work in the industry.

Setup & Make First Program, It May Be Print Hello World

Start making our first program as soon as possible don't wait to learn every thing of the language & then start making program.
Don't wait for being comfortable in that language.
Your first program make you motivated and confidence. It may be time taken process but it is world best process to learn.

And Follow One Documentation OR Tutorial First To Learn Basic

Most beginner try to find the best documentation and tutorial to learn and they spend much time in the finding the documentation and the tutorial. We not say you to don't explore the documentation start follow the any documentation blandly, we say don't jump frequently to the another tutorial, first follow one and point out the topic which is covered then match from the official documentation, then cover remain topic. And also recover the topic which is not clear in your mind.

Learn One Topic & Practice

This is the most important rule to learn any subject not only for the programming, Science,Mathematics etc. Make golden rule during learning learn on topic and practice till your feel comfortable. It is possible that you feel block in any topic but learn it from other source and because it is helpful and needed for next topic. And we say make program and practice don't satisfy only make the documentation program, wait here and thought how can use it other way.
We suggest that you should find the practice program on that topic, it really open your mind.

Make One Day And Week Day Project

After complete the basic, start practice with the real world scenarios project but put fixed duration to complete it in one day.
One day project is very important to you, it develop your brain to solve the big problem and small project will connect the dots of the programming.
Most beginner make this mistake they want first the work on the big project and they feel it very hard. Because they were not ready for that. This event set wrong thought to his mind programming is too hard and they never try again.
So make one day project and then start one week project and then one month project now you ready to make the big project.

Make Multiple Basic project in different area

As above we mentioned the proper path to which duration of the project start step by step.
Here we focus to make project in different area mean try to make one day or one week project in other area in which the language no one prefer when you follow the project, you should know why no one prefer this language for this project. It may be you block in our project there were not support in your prefer language. You learn in this way much which no tutorial you tough. But make project in the area for which language is known.

Now Learn Best Practice & Use Cases Like Senior

Follow the above step you cover all the topic of the language and know the real use of the language and also you made the multiple project which develop you ready to work on the big project and real world project.
But in the software industry learning never ending, now you learn the best practice and how the senior software developer write the code. Industry best practice as

  • Human readable code
  • Clean & formatted
  • Reusable
  • Optimised

These most common things which industry expect to you.
