It opens up a window you\u2019ve never looked out from. It helps train our minds and see things our brain can\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning a programming language allows you to experience the same joy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They open doors of opportunities to the technology world; a world many people are yet to understand. To learn programming effectively is as challenging as learning Spanish or French or any other language (if you\u2019re an English speaker). <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips that will help you learn programming effectively:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">1. How to Choose What Programming Language to Learn<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, before you start to learn programming, you have to choose the language you want or need to learn first. How? Research. There are things you have to consider before you decide what language to learn:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What language that interests you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What programming languages are the most popular or in-demand<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we learn with pleasure, we never forget.\u201d ~Alfred Mercier<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to know what language piques your interest to make learning more fun and less stressful. There are programming languages that are usually used for and in specific areas. For example, if you\u2019re into making an interactive website, you would want to learn programming languages like Javascript or Python which will help you do so. And if you&#8217;d want to handle big data from databases, you would want to learn programming languages in relation with Data Science, like SQL or C#.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also a smart move to study and learn in-demand programming languages because it&#8217;s what most companies are looking for; therefore, it will be easier to find and land a job. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codingdojo.com\/blog\/top-programming-languages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b> most in-demand programming languages of <\/b><\/a><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codingdojo.com\/blog\/top-programming-languages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the year<\/a> <\/b>to see which languages companies desire the most when making a new hire.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">2. Study Coding<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data is everywhere. And with today\u2019s technology, it is available in just a few taps or clicks; some are free, some are paid. There are programming tutorial sites that will help you learn programming\u2014if not everything about it, at least the basics or the fundamentals. As long as you have internet access, you can learn. You can also download programming ebooks or pdf for your offline learning. Buying hard copies of programming books from bookstores is also an option. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you know more, you do more. Just like what <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrMayaAngelou?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><b>Maya Angelou<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014an American poet, and singer\u2014said, \u201cWhen you know better, you do better.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">3. Code at Least Once a Day<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge is power. but it\u2019s not powerful if it isn\u2019t applied. Learn by doing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to mastery is applying what you\u2019re learning. So, code every day. Literally, every day. Our muscle memory plays a significant role in learning and consistency in coding practice will help you develop that muscle to perform better. You don\u2019t have to start with a big project, you can start small, start with the basics. You can consider coding at least an hour a day. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also consider to challenge yourself with committing yourself to code every day. You can start at 50 days of coding. When you achieve that, give yourself a reward and then make another challenge with \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.freecodecamp.org\/why-i-coded-every-day-for-a-year-what-i-learned-and-how-you-can-do-it-too-aebe949dd178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100 days of coding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have to code the same program over and over again for about three days or even a week, do so. Challenge yourself until it becomes a habit and until you master or understand what you are coding. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Focus on One Concept at a Time<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be part of the few people who can focus on multiple concepts at once, but I still suggest when learning programming to focus on a single concept before moving on to the next one. Here are some of the benefits of focusing on one concept at a time:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can avoid possible future confusions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t only get to learn, but also understand the concept better.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can move to the next concept quicker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your time spending on looking back at the previous concept(because you aren\u2019t sure) will decrease.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">5. Seek a Mentor or Teach Someone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think mentors are important and I don\u2019t think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship. Nobody makes it alone. Nobody has made it alone. And we are all mentors to people even when we don\u2019t know it.\u201d &#8211; Oprah<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering the tech world for the first time is like entering a foreign place with a foreign language. There will be times you\u2019d feel lost and don\u2019t know what to do. This is why you need someone who already knows the way and the language to teach and guide you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An experienced mentor in this field is the best option. He or she will accelerate your learning process, help you with your career goals, and develop your skills and discover your potential. To further understand the need for mentorship, read \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codingdojo.com\/blog\/need-for-mentorship-from-experienced-developers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>The Need For Mentorship From Experienced Developers.<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Why? Because you are your first student. When you attempt to teach, you are pushed to learn. Thus, it deepens your understanding of what you are learning, and what you are going to teach. Robert A. Heinlein, an American science-fiction author, once said, \u201cWhen one teaches, two learn.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">6. Do a Pair Programming<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pair programming is a practice of working on a programming task with a partner\u2014a peer, a colleague, a friend, or even your mentor. As s beginner, this practice will help you learn programming not just from your partner, but also from your own mistakes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You share your knowledge with each other, face problems together, suggest and try solutions together, and you also get to review each other\u2019s code. Reviewing and understanding other\u2019s code gives you additional learning on what\u2019s the best way to solve a problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaming up with a beginner like you, or with an experienced developer have their own advantages. For example, working with an experienced developer is almost the same as having a mentor. You get to learn a lot from someone who has the knowledge you don\u2019t have. You can also grab the time to ask questions that will help you more in learning to program. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And pairing with a beginner like you will most likely push both of you to your limits. Aside from learning from each other, you will need to learn more than you already know to make your project a success. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>7. Take a Break<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go back to our \u201c50 days of coding\u201d challenge. The reward you could give yourself when you beat your own challenge is to: spend time with your family, give your partner a special date, spoil yourself by buying something you love, sleep to make up for your all-nighters, or just do anything fun as a reward. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to overload yourself and forget to relax. You can take a break. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to! It helps you not just mentally, but also physically and emotionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the benefits of taking a break:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will rest your stressed mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will help you decide, think and work better.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will restore and refresh your motivation to reach your goal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will give you time to reflect and evaluate yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Join a Coding Bootcamp<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going to school and taking a Computer Science course is probably the most common and traditional way to learn programming. You would have the resources for learning and studying. You would study and code every day. You would have professional developers to teach you. You would have your fellow student to pair or practice with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, why am I suggesting to join a coding bootcamp instead of taking a CS course? Coding bootcamp is an alternative education to solve the tech talent shortage. In a coding bootcamp, you will learn, you will be taught how to learn effectively by instructors who will act as your mentor, you will have cohorts to code with every day, and you will be taught one concept at a time. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what are the advantages of joining a coding bootcamp? <\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Less time, faster learning. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CS courses last for years. You will get an associate degree after two years, and the bachelor\u2019s degree takes four years. And coding bootcamps\u2019 average length of a program is just more than three months. In <\/span>Coding Dojo<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we offer a program that will help you become a three <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/skillcrush.com\/2017\/02\/27\/front-end-back-end-full-stack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>full-stack developer<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in just 14 weeks! <\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Many companies prefer coding bootcamp graduates. <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.indeed.com\/2017\/05\/02\/what-employers-think-about-coding-bootcamp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Indeed<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported that 72% of employers think graduates from coding bootcamps are \u201cjust as prepared\u201d and as high performers as the degree holders. 12% of employers even think they are \u201cmore prepared and more likely\u201d to be high performers than CS degree holders. And only 17% of employers think they are not as prepared or likely to be high performers as CS graduates. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Learn Programming Effectively Now<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe capacity to learn is a gift. The ability to learn is a skill. The willingness to learn is a choice,\u201d says an American author, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DuneAuthor?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Brian Herbert<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning something new to you is challenging, and to continue learning until you reach the goal you are fixed to achieve, you need to be willing; willing to learn, willing to face the stumbling blocks ahead, willing to ask for help, willing to communicate and collaborate, and willing to stay on the path no matter what.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And most importantly, you must have the willingness to start.
