4 Tips For Learning How To Code

Are you learning how to code, or do you want to learn? If yes, then these tips are for you!

#1 - Pick your language

It is a fact that you can’t learn it all at once, so the first step is picking what you want to learn! There are a lot of pros and cons to each programming language, but you have to keep in mind what your goal is regarding the platform you want to work with and your final product.

#2 - Start from the beginning

We know you want to learn as fast as possible, but let’s agree, skipping steps will not lead to a good knowledge base. Programming is like building a house, if you leave out the foundation, it will probably not stand up properly.

#3- Ask questions (a lot!)

Have a question? Don’t keep it to yourself. If you have a teacher or tutor don’t be afraid to ask questions (especially if you are a SSF student, our team will be always happy to help) and if you are learning by yourself there are a lot of forums online where you can ask questions and get some help.

#4 – Practice, practice and practice

The best way to learn is actually coding and the best way to keep what you learned is practicing! So what are you waiting?
