Hi, welcome to dev.to =)

The question seems to be too vague, but here are some tips:

  • Read, view, and practice from YouTube tutorials to understand the basics (some data structures, best practices, etc.)
  • Try to keep a journal (online, pen and paper, notes, etc.) to create your path, mark your learned skills, and write new skills to learn
  • Try to improve your behavioral skills (or soft skills) because you'll talk with non-programmers (devs) sometimes, and you want that they understand your (try to explain, without dev terms, a failure in the database: "hey, your database has crashed because the table is corrupted," is not the best way to explain :))
  • Don't try to learn everything: please, don't try to learn Go and JavaScript with React and Svelte at the same time :|
  • Keep going if you reach a dead-end way: you'll fail every time, but you could improve yourself if you do a retrospective about your failure (i.e., "I must add more hours to write Unit testing" or "I need more time to understand the requirements").

These are some tips... feel free to use them or look for more recommendations :)
