Top 5 Mistakes I Made When I Was a Newbie in Programming
Practise, make mistakes, learn from them and move on.
Time flies so fast. My first line of code was written in 2013 when I started my college life. You probably guessed it, I printed “Hello, world” by the C programming language and felt so excited when the code worked. 😄
Now, I’m working as a professional software engineer and have implemented several projects already. Many younger friends asked me about how to learn programming fast or how to write high-quality code.
To be honest, I think I’m not successful and qualified enough to give suggestions to them. Because programming is a life-long journey and there are always lots of things I haven’t learned or even known yet. In addition, learning to program is like learning to ride a bike, it requires a lot of practice. Nobody can become a great developer only by reading textbooks or suggestions. We should practise, make mistakes, learn from them and move on again and again.
Therefore, instead of giving suggestions, I think it will make more sense to share the mistakes I made when I was a newbie in the programming world. Because when I look back, every mistake I made was a great opportunity to learn something new.
