The WORST mistake beginner programmers make ‍ #technology #programming #software #career

Consistently trying and failing

Yeah, that's a really helpful adive but I have one problem with that. I'm trying to make a game engine and to know what the engine is made of I need to watch some kind of a tutorial. I don't think I will know how to serialize just by trying it- I need to at least google the high-level explanation of that.
In that case what's the best thing I can do? Some people told me to watch the tutorial but implement a feature a little deifferently to really see if you know what you're doing. I also heard that watching tutorial once and trying to implement the features on your own without the help from the video might be helpful.
What do you guys think? What should I do xD?

I just use tutorials or past projects to make my projects because I'm lazy. I'm not too inexperienced.

I suggest a better way would be to buy a book read it and solve the exercise at the end of each chapter without any help from internet or anyone else.

I follow a tutorial for a project in one language and do it by myself in another

Getting used to documentations is important.
Enable linting when possible, it pretty much tells you a lot of things you should refactor.

What saved me from tutorial hell is that personally I don't like learning. I just like building. So once I just spend a tiny amount of time learning a language trust me I'm already building something myself. So it helps me learn, build stuff on my own and master the language at the same time

Im just in error hell ! Didnt care for the tutorials because you wont learn much but man these errors can get EXTREMELY FKN FRUSTRATING !!!!!! 🤬🤯

Another great tip is to read the documentation or guides from the language devs, like for C++ reading the open specs on cppreference helps a ton. It also explains through code examples for most things.
It surely does take some time to get used to the language syntax, but as soon as you learn that, you should be fully capable of understanding most if not all of the language documentation and specifications.

Happy learning and coding people ;)

Im follow tutorial of coding but stil eroring 😎

Best way is odin gate and freecodecamp

It's not that bad because it also taught us better, but making our own project and challanges we face, this makes better developer, but tutorial hell gives you better insight of that language than empty learning and not doing anything

How about Datacamp learning method?

help me pls pygame is too hard.
How i print different line in c++

How I EVEN CODE JAVA
what is pip
My project bad

Yes I totally agree on this, after leaving the tutorial hell you are welcome to stack overflow haven,

I love how success is not even a part of the story cause we all know that eventually we are all going to ask the Chinese kid for help in Stack Overflow

What if i build my own programms but use tutorials for specific features

I am learning Js, but i basically don't know nothing about it. When should i stop watching tutorials ?

This what I'm doing now figuring the error and figuring how to do this how to do that but basic atleast learn the foundation of the program language

For me I first go through the basic tutorial then I try to use the code to create stuffs.

I used to this a long time ago, but then i paused for a few months and came back to it knowing how to be better

Nearly 5 years ago I learned how to make a chatbot in c# and I used to blindly follow step by step from that yt channel, I had many errors because it was out of date, I went through another and it worked. After my holiday I decided that I should try either NodeJS, ever since I did follow tutorial hell but then it became lesser and lesser.

I agree with this. Trying and failing is basically how you do it.

Would you shut up

Stop using tutorials. Read the “getting started” section and read the docs

How about learn theory and syntax via documentation and books

20% writing. 80% figure out why it doesn't work

Yeah I haven't even looked up any tutorials yet I've just been using free online courses to learn everything

But I have no clue how to do something what do I do in that situation

Not bad advice, tutorials do serve as a foundation for a skill, but the focus should be creating i realized this way later in my career

I just entered the world of PHP programming like a month ago, i knew something here and there about coding but now that I'm working with programing, it's another world, lots to learn

So I tried to build my own app with django all by myself without any tutorial, and it was hell, but I learned so much. Eventually though it got to a point where I didn't know if I was following the best practices for django and I didn't know all the features django had to offer, so I gave up and restarted by following a tutorial. I'm not copying it exactly, but I'm using it as a guide to reference to, to see the next logical steps.
Ex: I thought I had to make all my models at once in one app when I was doing it no tutorial, but with the tutorial they create one model and then move to rendering it in the frontend using a frontend framework. I literally thought I would have to code an html css page from scratch b4 the tutorial. Guess I'm just new to web dev

🤣🤣

dude I'm so much in tutorial hell that even when I follow the tutorial, an error pops up meaning I'm in download hell cuz I just download their projects :)

I love building my own projects. I do researchs on commands, functions and how things work then make up some problems in my mind and try to solve it. If i ran into issues that i personally have no idea then i will seek the internet to fix it. and when it all turns out, it feels so rewarding 😁

How do I know the comands I can just gues

Actually what i found the best thing to do: Find a coding tutorial for lets say a pong game. Follow the tutorial but in some other language. That way you get to learn the language without having to think about how to actually build pong

i was in that place but ya i actually used the thing
you told me like last year now i can do my own project and i know the language's more

.

A friend is caught in it

i following Tips from 😀 Lewis , now I'm improving day by day

I find that following tutorials AFTER tutorial hell can be nice as you can pick up small little bits that you may have missed when you weren't experienced enough to understand what, say, "String Interpolation" was.

The think is, know that are you coding, not just Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v.

When I got my school project I failed so many types it was a data analysis project and i understand my errrors and improved it

Tutorial is good. You have to make it worthy by your action. If they teach "a" you have to build "b" , "c" , "d" and beyond. Like the same way a professor teach you at university. Simple.

My best advice is to start something simple but still slightly challenging, where you think you know how to make it but not exactly. Then do as much as possible looking at the autocomplete text and its syntax. Just try different tings even if it does not solve the problem you learn allot, then after some time you may solve it by yourself or you may need some help. After 1 or 2 hours of not progressing you may need a small push, the key when searching, is to not search for the exact solution only the current problem. This will allow you to still learn a lot even if you needed a small push. The key aspect of learning programming is to learn how to think like a programmer, learning to adapt knowing how each function an method works in an of itself AND together.

1st we have to learn coding then build Project (For Beginners) it's not possibile to build project by solving error directly

The trick is if you don't understand something stop finding ambiguous definitions and reading documents instead write a code using that concept. Then examine your code look how it works then again read the documents about it. Don't worry I am sure you will find your answer.
