3 Crucial Mistakes Beginner Programmer often Do!
Programming is more difficult than it appears. After a few days of experimenting, many beginners never code again. This is due to their lack of understanding of how to learn to code and avoid mistakes. By the way, this article titled “How to Learn Code Faster as a Beginner” can help you improve your coding journey.
So, if you are new to programming and are suffering burnout after playing with a few blocks of code, here are the three big mistakes that you make as a newbie programmer:
1. Try to learn all languages overnight
Beginner programmers frequently make the fatal error of expecting to know everything in a few days, which is simply not possible. There are numerous resources available for programming languages. It is so technical that it takes a significant amount of time and effort to comprehend. As a result, new programmers are unaware of this, and after obtaining a basic certification or completing a course, they believe they are experts and can do anything with that language or framework. But it’s not going to happen, so they give up.
How do I solve it?
Choose the programming language or framework you need to learn and always follow a roadmap. After that, concentrate entirely on those courses or languages, and be careful to practice independently without using the instructor’s code. One of the biggest mistakes that beginners make in video courses is that they never try to practice on themselves after finishing the work and just write codes by reading the tutor’s code.
2. Confused with roadmap
Beginner programmers sometimes have no idea what they can accomplish after learning a programming language. Even if they have a plan, they always switch between languages. Finally, they muddled through various languages and frameworks, never fully completing any of them. So they can’t continue on their path and lose faith in reaching their goal of becoming a web developer, a software developer, a machine learning engineer, and so on.
How do I solve it?
Before learning to code, create a clear and concise road map. Without a plan, learning to code is a waste of time. Then, make sure to finish each one one by one and build confidence through repetition. Finally, never give up hope. Always have faith that one day you will understand everything and be able to complete this roadmap.
3. Write messy code
Beginner programmers frequently write incorrect code. They don’t know how to properly format the code to get an accurate result. Messy coding frequently leads to errors, and they never figure out why. Many of them gave up programming at that point. They have no idea what to do because they are under tremendous pressure to solve problems. Programming is so sensitive that a single line of code can change the behavior of other critical functions.
How do I solve it?
To begin, ask yourself, “How can I reduce the size of code that performs a specific function?” As a result, you should always test each piece of code before writing a large code block. Furthermore, always understand what you’re going to write before starting to code. This way, you can easily fix bugs without becoming bored.
Conclusion
Coding is easy to learn if you know how. So, be mindful of committing these three crucial errors that prohibit a novice programmer from attaining their objectives or roadmap.
