As a 15 year old developer, I think the best advice I could give is: be dedicated and self-sufficient. I learned so much simply by paying attention and studying the resources immediately available to me (ie documentation, stack overflow, and books). Courses are great, but I think they are often used as a crutch and provide less value than initially perceived.

Great advice Tarek! Learn how to find the answers and dig into the details to solve the problem yourself using tools like StackOverflow, Google, Documentation, and solid Books.
