mistakes i made while learning how to code (version 1.0.0)
actually this is my first post so pardon me if its somehow, been coding for 5 years now, stared coding at ss3 2012 learning batch programming and developing wapka.mobi websites, lol… funny when i think of it and remember that i usually feel like a boss then.
one year later i got into the university and met a mentor (tosin bot adeniyi) he just gave me basic intro to web development using HTML and CSS and i took interest and learn further, within that period till now i noticed many errors i made which slowed my learning down
- was trying to learn everything at once.
spent time learning lots of programming languages, i just pick any language i see and start reading and practicing and the next day i pick a totally different language and start all over, after a while of doing that i later realized that i didn't know anything at the end of the day.
2. believed i knew it all without trying it out.
this was another big issue i had, i never tried some stuffs out just because i felt i knew it .eg making a responsive site i never tried doing it cause i felt it was just to make all my sizing to be in % instead of pixels which made me not to try it then
3. never completed a project to the fullest.
starting up then i had lots of projects on my ht-docs but none of them were completed i kept starting new project immediately i get the idea but at the end of the day i abandoned it
4. Lots of copy and paste code.
this was a very bad habit i got used to which end up putting me in another mess eg i have a problem and search online for solution i just copy and paste the solution and do lots of copy and paste till when their was no solution for the new errors which made me abandoned the project
version 1.1.0 coming soon
