How to learn to code
In Today’s World Everything can be done using an app or a website whether it is learning, Entertainment, Social Interaction, Games all can be done through software(an app or a website). With applications being digitized the demand also increases for developers and programmers and hence learning a programming language would be beneficial. So let’s learn a way in which we can kickstart your programming journey
Learn Programming Fundamentals
The first step in the path of the programming journey is to select a programming language. It is recommended to start with a high-level language like C++, Java, Python, JavaScript and get started. But you should select the language that is more aligned with your field of interest. So if you want a mobile app you should begin with java or kotlin for Android APP Development and Swift/Objective-C for iOS APP Development, and if you want to build a website learn Javascript.
Focus on Learning Programming Basics
Learn the basics completely and start practicing standard coding problems in order to get hands-on with language, Stress on the following topics to begin learning as they are common in almost all languages.
Data Types
Variables
Functions
Conditionals
Recursion
Errors and Exception Handling
Language-specific Data Structures(e.g. Arrays/List, in python)
Exception handling
File Handling
Object-Oriented Programming
Classical Data Structures and Algorithms
Build your First Project
Building Projects are one of the best ways to get a handful at coding. Building a project helps you analyze the programming knowledge that you’ve gained so far, it will give a sense of software development, and later you can keep on improving your way of coding and soon can become a good coder. Later these projects can add up in your resume and helps you land your dream job (Who knows).
Conclusion
Keeping these things in mind brings us to the end of the blog. I hope you find it useful. So get ready to start your coding journey. Happy Coding!
