How to learn to code

The truth is you already know how to code. Don’t believe me?

Check it out, imagine you and I are hanging out (you’d be so lucky), and you whisper “Hey, you hungry?”. I reply “Starving!”.

You can already imagine the rest of this conversation.”What do you want to eat?”, “I don’t know.”, “What about oat meal?”, etc.

In the above example, you’re taking my input and passing it through your logic flow in which we might end up with food.

They say if you have a huge goal, the best way to accomplish it is to break it apart into smaller goals (learn how to break shit up).

At the top of my list in how to learn anything, is learning the vernacular of the world you’re trying to enter.

For example, the word variable is defined by w3schools as “variables are containers for storing data values.”. You have a few choices, understand that variables are containers for things called data values, look up data values, or pretend you understood it.

Try to translate concepts into real life processes. Take your time, read the same thing 1,000 times if you have to.

Using the definition of the word variable as our example. We can imagine a variable as a box that can contain anything that fits in it.

The journey to mastery is infinite, so don’t try to learn everything under the sun before you get started. Just get started.

Along your journey find mentors. Believe in yourself, be patient, and be persistent.
