Top 5 ways to become a self taught developer


Introduction

I learned how to code by being self-taught. It took me a few years, but I finally got there and now I am able to build websites for clients using my own code. In this post, we'll explore the top 5 ways that you can become a self taught developer:

Read list of resources and choose your first language

You can start by reading the list of resources, and choose your first language. It’s important to choose a language that you are interested in and passionate about. You should also consider if it is possible to learn the language quickly, as well as whether or not it will help build something useful.

Make a daily plan

  • Set a goal for yourself.

  • Write down a plan for how you will achieve that goal.

  • Make sure you have time to do it, resources and motivation!

  • Have the right mindset

Go over the basics as often as possible

When you're first learning, it can be hard to keep your head above water. You might feel that there are so many other things that you want to learn and do, but if you don't get a firm grasp on what is really important in the beginning, then all of that other stuff will come crashing down around your ears when something goes wrong or breaks unexpectedly.

The best advice I can give here is simply: go over the basics as often as possible! The more time spent studying these concepts and doing practice problems with them (and hopefully getting excellent results), the better chance there is that they will stick with us longer than those less familiar topics would have at first glance.

Practice, practice and practice some more

Practice makes perfect. Not only does it help you become a better programmer, but it also helps you become a better everything else in life.

  • Practice makes you better at programming:

  • You'll notice bugs that others don't see and fix them before they get out of hand

  • You'll be able to spot errors in your code before they happen, so that they don't affect other parts of the app or website (and thus cost more money) later on down the road

  • Practice makes you better at debugging: By practicing with different scenarios and different tools like linting tools and debuggers, one can become much more adept at identifying problems quickly without having too many steps between detection and solution

Don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask for help

  • Don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask for help.

  • The best way to learn is through trial and error, but you can't fix the mistakes on your own. If you're learning a new skill, it's important that you ask questions so that others can help point out what's wrong with your project or code before it becomes too difficult for them (and yourself) to troubleshoot.

  • Nobody expects perfection from themselves; nobody expects perfection from anyone else either! This means there will always be room for improvement when working towards becoming a self-taught developer—you just need some guidance here and there along the way as long as everything goes smoothly enough along its path toward success!

There is no better way to learn than being self-taught!

There is no better way to learn than being self-taught!

You can learn at your own pace, in your own time and from anywhere. You don't have to be in front of a computer or even have access to the internet; there are plenty of resources out there that allow you to start learning from scratch without any prior knowledge on how coding works.

We all know that it's not easy for beginners who want to become developers, but by following this guide you'll be able to do just that: become a self-taught developer!

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped you to start down the path of self-taught development. We are not here to say that it's easy, or that you won't make mistakes along the way. But we do want to encourage anyone who wants to learn how to code or build apps themselves by starting today!

Microsoft will allow you to upgrade your pirated Windows 7 or 8 to full Windows 10 for little or no amount.

Microsoft's latest Operating System has been trending for a while now, while some are still contemplating on who gets a free upgrade from the two previous Microsoft's Operating Systems just like the company promised and who wouldn't, Microsoft has announced that the upgrade to Windows 10 would be free for genuine Windows 7 or 8 users and there is a good news for pirated Windows 7 or 8 users, they too might go to the Promised Land for free or pay a little fee.Hmmm..., with this in place, you can see how determined Microsoft is to pull everyone into its Windows 10 ecosystem. You know, when Windows 10 Technical Preview was first announced along with how it's going to operate (Windows as a Service), I thought Microsoft is finally kicking Windows Pirates out of business, but it seems Microsoft is giving them one more chance to own a genuine Windows, maybe Windows 10  is going to be "un-piratable" (let's just hope MS gets it right).Hahaha!...., before I forget,

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

This article is for hackers who want to develop a c++ program on Kali Linux without having to install any additional software. While some would tell you that you need to install an additional software or a compiler in order to develop a simple program in c++ on Kali Linux, I am going to show you how to develop a c++ program on this distro right out of box. Your Linux Kali comes pre-installed with a c++ compiler called g++ so we are going to write a C++ hello word code and compile it with this compiler. Before we get started, first open up terminal and run to verify if this compiler is installed on you machine: g++ -v if the compiler is pre-installed, you should get the version information of the compiler, otherwise, you should get an error. Now let's jump right in. In your terminal window, type in: nano MyCpp.cpp to create a c++ file and lunch it in nano editor for editing. When nano opens, type in the following c++ code and press Ctrl+x then y and then R

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made. Usually, these companies sends ou
