8 Things You Must Know Before Learning Programming

Must-1: There is no perfect way to learn

Some will say, watch YouTube tutorials. Others might say, read those books. Someone else may say, read blogs on that website.

I say, there is no perfect way to learn. Whatever anyone recommends, check it out. If you like it, continue. If you don’t like it, Google it or search on YouTube or any mobile app store and find other ways to learn. Once you have tried out multiple ways for a few weeks, you will find out your own way to learn. So, don’t try to fit hard on other’s way, instead, build your own way to learn. That way, you will learn better!

Must-2: Don’t listen to most of the people

Everyone will have a different opinion. Some people will try to discourage you. Don’t get frustrated or demotivated with that. Instead, take the positive advice, trash the negative one and move forward. Keep doing what you should do. Keep learning. Keep trying. I know you can do it. So, let’s do it.

Must-3: Select a programming language, but don’t stick to it
