RE: Learning How To Learn How To Program

in #programming7 years ago

I think setting reasonable goals is a difficult one for people just starting out. The expectation of being able to make a product that it normally takes a large team of professionals of varying skill sets to make isn't very reasonable.

Sort:  

Very true. I touch on that above:

You aren't going to go from 0 to iPhone app billionaire in a week. In fact, you probably won't be able to do much without the help of good old Google in the first week or two.

That's not to say that someone can't become a full stack developer and create an MVP or small business on their own, though.

I would just recommend if you're starting out with an end goal of some project, it would be smart to ask someone who has some experience what that might entail. It's very easy to get discouraged along the way.

Sometimes the end goal is just to learn how to code :p. The post above was written after a conversation with my roommate who's simply interested in becoming a programmer without any particular entrepreneurial aspirations.
