How to Learn Coding

1. Understand what coding is !!!

Coding is a quite simple way of telling a machine what to do.“Coding” is the most common term used by learning sites, but it’s a bit more complex than that. First, there is no one way to code — there are various languages used to code for different types of projects. 

2. New Developing skills:

Learning to code can promote both:

Hard and Soft skills that will be beneficial for your career and life.

The hard skills help you do cool things:

  • Create websites.
  •  Apps.
  •  Games. 
  • Software. 
  • Analyze a web of data. 
  • Automate complex tasks or tackle any number of problems.  

 The soft skills help you think and work better:

  •  You’re pushed to model and iterate the better ideas.
  •  Identify and solve the problems.
  • Work within collaborative communities.

3. Wolrd's No.1 Coder: Gennady Korotkevich

World's No.1 Coder

Born on 25 September 1994 (age 26).Education at ITMO University. He has won Major International Competitions since the age of 11, as well as numerous national competitions. His top accomplishments include six consecutive Gold medals in the International Olympiad in Informatics

Don’t learn to code for sake of coding, learn to code because you want to use code as a tool to solve the problems. Before you look at programming, find out a problem that you’re excited about, something that’s going to motivate you to learn about the languages and tools.

4. Where Coding use?

The set of guidance processes is known as a “program”. The instructions are known as “code”.People who write programs on the computer are known as “programmers” or “coders”. Their programs have enabled computers to become useful in almost every area of modern life:

•In the office.

• In the home. 

•In hospitals.

•In the hand.

• In the store. 

5. Programming Languages:

Coding makes it possible for us to create computer software, games, apps, and websites. Coders, or programmers, are people who write the programs behind everything we can see and do on a computer. To become a coder, you must typically learn at least one of these high-level programming languages:

C – a powerful compiled language that is closely mapped to machine code and used to

develop operating systems.

C++ – an enhanced compiled language developing on C to provide classes for Objects on

Oriented Programming (OOP).

C# – a modern compiled language designed by Microsoft for the NET framework and

Common Language Infrastructure (CLI).

Java – it's a portable compiled language that is designed to run on any platform regardless

of the hardware architecture.

Python – a dynamic interpreted language that allows both functional and Object

Oriented Programming (OOP).

You must have Complete awareness about the following things:

•Data Types.

•Variables.

•Keywords.

•Logical and Arithmetical Operators.

•If else conditions.

•Loops.

•Numbers, Characters, and Data Structures.

“You really feel like there's nothing you can't learn, which in turn builds so much confidence in your skills and gives the momentum to keep learning.”

6. CodeMentor:

Get a mentor. Mentors provide you Guideline and they can help you when you get stuck anywhere and make sure you’re on the right track. Find one on Codementor.

7. Instructions:

  • Come up with a simple project.
  • Get the software you'll need.
  • Join communities about how to start coding.
  • Read a few books.
  • Take help from YouTube.
  • How to start coding with YouTube.
  • Go through a tutorial.
  • Try some games on how to start coding.

8. Suggestions:

It’s true. You can quickly learn the basics of code. But if we think about it that just as learning English (or any other language) doesn’t make you a great novelist, Similarly learning code doesn’t make you a great programmer. That takes enough practice to become Good Coder.

I have improved my Coding skills through LeetCode. I have solved many coding problems on it. I suggest to all that you should solve the problems of LeetCode. My observation is that beginners should solve first Easy Catagory Problems., then they should jump on Medium Problems  and then go on Hard Problems.Through LeetCode, you can improve your coding skills the same as I improved.

Level up your coding skills and quickly land a Job. This is the best place to expand your knowledge.
