Hi @vanaf1979 ,
Really, that is my currently problem, because I've used Docker and sometime is hard to make some containers to learn a simple subject that I want get. So your clue about Cloud IDE could help me.
Yeah, it's true. I always have issues, does not matter which language or tecnology I've used. Most of programmers have problems psychological like Impostor syndrome because they think that it is not normal, but it is.
It will be my next step. I'm making a blog, I guess that this will be funny.
About enjoy what I do, articles like this help me a lot to enjoy my journey.
Thanks for this post, are subjects that we cannot leave die.
:)
Thanks André for your reply. I'm glad you liked the article. let me know when you have your blog up so i can read some of your stuff! :)
Always have this problem.
Now I am a beginner and start to learn Django. When I go to Django documentation website there are many links in one article that provide more detailed information. So I'm afraid if I don't open the link, I can't understand the 'thing'. And boooom, now I'm in a whole new article, still not done read the previous one.
That pattern I always do it again and again. Sometimes I'll stop learning because of overwhelmed and feel I can't grasp all of that information.
I still in the learning phase and don't have a client to limit what I have to do, and yeah my habits of doing that pattern will come again.
Thanks Ferry for your reply and for sharing your experience.
"So I'm afraid if I don't open the link, I can't understand the 'thing'"
I'm not familiar with the Django docs myself, but in most documentations these links lead to more indepth information within the docs themself that you will eventually get to if you just continue reading. If not i would suggest that you first finish the chapter/topic and then go back to the extra stuff.
A second piece of advice (Maybe you are already doing this) is to not just read the docs, but to experiment with what you are learning. Actually writing and playing with code will teach you a lot more then just reading. Maybe those more info links can help you if you get stuck and if you don't get stuck, maybe you don't need those more info links after all! :p
"I still in the learning phase and don't have a client to limit what I have to do"
My advice would be to start being your own client. Think about what you want to build, and come up with a project (or a couple of projects) that can be your goal for learning. Maybe you want to build a personal blog!? Focus your learning on that.
I hope this can help you.
Cheers
I never thought about that, being the client for myself. And I will do it when I want to create some projects for my portfolio.
Thanks for the advice, sir. Will take not from it. :D
Great article Stephan!
I have not been on this journey very long, but am along for the long ride. Hmm, that was not supposed to come out so poetic 🤔. Anyway, great stuff. I look foward to reading more of your posts :))
Hay calacly,
Thanks for the kind words. There is nothing wrong with a little poetry now and then! 😜
I hope you are having fun learning!
Cheers
'tutorial hell' - I needed to hear this.
I realised after binging on tutorials that, actually, I don't know where to start. I was just blinking for a few minutes after opening the text editor. Of course, I did learn something, I had some invisible structures that wouldn't be there if I didn't do the tutorials, but I not taking running with it as soon as I could have meant that the first steps were really awkward and I kept having to go back to the first lessons. I may as well have done this when I first started the lessons. I will know better next time.
Thanks for this. The title totally sounded like 'another one of these', but you cut to the chase pretty quickly, this is pretty useful.
Happy coding!
Hey Ageta,
Thanks for your reply. It is really hard to find some form of structure that works, but it sounds like you are not giving up, and i trust you will get there! :)
Happy coding as well
Thanks for this piece. I just started my journey less than a week now, and I find your piece very useful. Thanks once again.
Hey Mahmoud,
You started on a amazing journey, and i'm glad to hear that my article helped you in some way. Keep up the great work. :)
Cheers
