So I’m an on/off noobie but have been focusing on actually sticking with programming what I’ve been working on is Python but this question is for programming in general. For me it’s hard but I want to see how I can get better
Like are these good ways to get good:
Follow tutorials, then work on ways of adding your own twists or changes? Or trying to code it in something else?
Work on assignments from a resource you’re using like in my case Python Crash Course and attempt to redo the assignments without looking back?
Experiment with multiple libraries and library methods or built in methods?
Please share any other ways especially ones that helped you
Also when would be good to start a new language after learning one
Build production level apps. Could be any app idea you like, or just pick something that will challenge your current knowledge and skills and force you to improve.
Is “production level” like “military grade”? I don’t even know what those things mean when it comes to quality.
Something that can handle heavy loads, e.g. thousands or millions of people accessing and using the app at the same time. Handling gigabytes or even terabytes of data without crashing.
Something that can easily scale to meet new demands.
Something that is secure, and won’t be hacked immediately.
Something that is thoroughly tested, polished and has no showstopper or major bugs, ideally no known bugs at all.
But it all really depends on the app you’re building. Offline apps are different to web apps and have different non-functional requirements. But generally, yes, it has to be good enough to be deployed and used by the military, if you prefer the term “military grade”.
