As I learn to code, the single biggest piece of advice I can give is:

Practice EVERY SINGLE DAY DAY.

This is one of the best GIFs ever

every time your computer crashes it’s because some cat somewhere started coding…

Step by step 😉

Thanks for this. I'm just starting my journey and it feels daunting at times.

What are you studying at the minute?

Web development. Got the basics of HTML & CSS solidly down, now going deeper. JavaScript next.

What projects could you suggest to keep practicing on daily basis?

I’m doing freecodecamp’s web development curriculum, going through the HeadFirst HTML & CSS book, and also applying everything I learn to a project of my own (in my case, a personal website)

This is the book I read to learn JavaScript. It explains it like your a child, which is what I needed 🤣

Then I started building JavaScript games with Phaser 3, and that taught me a lot about coding. Now I know several languages and coding is my favorite game to play. I think you’ll love it.

Awesome. I’ve got this book (and head first HTML 5) in my collection already and will be working through it when I get started on JS.

Have you already decided what ja library/framework you’re going for? React/vue/angular/svelte?

js*

Not yet. Gonna just focus on the basics and getting a good grip on vanilla JS first before looking at frameworks/libraries.

The thing that helped me the most was installing Textastic on my iPhone. Android has several good JavaScript text editors too. Everyone is different, but I need to be able to code anywhere at anytime. I never use a PC.

What are you building?

Javascript fundamentals first. Then React.

Yup - going vanilla first

Excellent. Feel free to ping me, Frontend web is my thing.
