Is it good to learn how to be a programmer without a good guide?

Big greetings for people who have learned any profession without a good guide, but does this really apply to everyone? I was learning to program without a guide for a long time, which I realized it was a serious mistake.

Here we are going to discuss why it is not good to learn without a guide, as we already know, programming has many branches, which can be a bit confusing if we do not know which one to follow, we can easily be learning to work in React without even know JavaScript, we could even be learning sass without knowing anything about css. For that reason I want to share this article with people who are learning to code or want to start doing it.

Let’s take Billy as an example (sorry if your name is Billy hahaha), Billy is a little boy who has begun to show interest in programming. So far Billy has a good life, without problems or stress (we all know how stressful bad code is) Suddenly Billy makes his first “Hello world” with C# (Billy is very happy!) but suddenly Billy finds himself with more complex things in C# and decides that he wants to be one of those who make beautiful web pages, now Billy begins to use HTML, CSS and JS, Billy makes his first web page, ugly but it works (sorry Billy). Then Billy finds a video where they are developing an application with jquery. At this point Billy can get confused easily, Billy is looking for something that he can’t understand and decides that he doesn’t want to do that app because he can’t understand what the guy on the video is doing. Billy gets frustrated because of that and stops to learn. After two or three weeks Billy decides to turn on his laptop and learn something new because a friend told him that he knows someone who is game developer and makes 5k per month and now Billy want to be like him and start again to learn C#. Until now Billy is just wasting his time because he doesn’t have a guide to learn, Billy doesn’t have someone who tells him what exactly he needs to learn and why.

For this reason being a programmer without a guide to follow is difficult for certain people, it is obvious that not all of us have the same problem that Billy has, some of us have someone who tells us that we must learn and that can be taken as a guide.

If you are here looking for a guide you can use freecodecamp.org to learn.
