Hi everyone,
I currently started a weekly newsletter that helps you learn a programming language (https://codebrew.substack.com). For 4 months, we cover a programming language and sent out an email building off the previous newsletter. Our goal is to not present our readers with information overload and make programming a more enjoyable experience.
I'm always curious, what are the biggest problems/frustrations when you start out learning to code? Drop them below!
I know mine personally was information overload!
I second information overload. When first starting out there are so many resources and opinions it can be overwhelming.
Having someone to ask questions or details about how to do a specific thing or why something isn't working was also very important in my learning process. Because Stackoverflow isn't great for beginners.
This excerpt from Jeff Atwood's (@codinghorror) blog drives this home:
