I present to you the translation of the article \u201c<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freecodecamp.org\/news\/how-to-improve-your-programming-skills\/\">How to improve your programming skills<\/a><\/noindex>\u201d by <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freecodecamp.org\/news\/author\/gaelthomas\/\">Ga\u00ebl Thomas<\/a><\/noindex>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to improve your programming skills\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/edc6ed96115c0bf7e47eed938b57bda0.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Here are the top 5 tips<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>1. Set goals for yourself<\/h3>\n<p>\nSetting goals increases a developer's productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Understand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why you started programming<\/li>\n<li>What your programming goals are<\/li>\n<li>What dream you want to achieve by becoming a developer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nEveryone has personal goals, but I\u2019ve created a list of universal ideas for everyone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a website<\/li>\n<li>Get a new job<\/li>\n<li>Work as a freelancer<\/li>\n<li>Work remotely<\/li>\n<li>Challenge yourself<\/li>\n<li>Improve your financial situation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nDon't forget to save a spot for a special goal: a personal project. If you want to succeed and stay motivated, you must create pet projects. But you don\u2019t always have to finish them. The idea is to achieve small goals in your own projects.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to learn how to use a database in general, you can start a blog project. But if you are learning how to add something to a database, you might create a simple form to add a record to the database.<br \/>\n<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"habracut\"><\/a><\/noindex><br \/>\nIt's important to use projects to achieve goals because this leads to working on concrete examples. What can motivate you more than that?<\/p>\n<h3>2. Do it again... and again<\/h3>\n<p>\nOnce you choose your goals, work on them as much as possible. The more you practice, the more you learn.<\/p>\n<p>Learning to code is a skill, and you can compare it to sports. If you want to excel at it and perform well, you must practice a lot, specifically on a computer, not just read books and dissect code with a pencil.<\/p>\n<p>Write code daily, during lunch breaks, or after work. Even if it's just for an hour, if you build a habit and stick to it, you will see daily improvements\u2014gradual but steady.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRepetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.\u201d (<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheZigZiglar\">Zig Ziglar<\/a><\/noindex> \u2014 Twitter)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>3. Share what you learn or create<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis is the best way to learn something new.<\/p>\n<p>Some ideas for sharing what you're doing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write blog articles (for instance, on Habr)<\/li>\n<li>Join conferences or local meetups<\/li>\n<li>Ask for feedback on StackOverflow<\/li>\n<li>Record your progress daily with a hashtag <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/100daysofcode\">#100DaysOfCode<\/a><\/noindex><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<b>A bit of storytelling:<\/b>do you know why I created <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/herewecode.io\/\">HereWeCode.io<\/a><\/noindex>?<\/p>\n<p>I am fascinated by code and sharing knowledge. Over the past few years, I have read a lot of articles on platforms like: <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freecodecamp.org\/\">freeCodeCamp<\/a><\/noindex>, <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.to\/\">dev.to<\/a><\/noindex> and so on. I learned that anyone can share what they learn and create, even if it's just a small thing.<\/p>\n<p>I created this code for several reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To share knowledge and become a better developer<\/li>\n<li>To help beginners understand key concepts<\/li>\n<li>To create simple and concrete examples for each<\/li>\n<li>To do what you love and enjoy it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAnyone can do it. I started with a simple action. First, I created an article on Medium titled \"<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@gaelthomas\/discover-what-is-an-api-60be03fda59f\">Learn What an API Is!<\/a><\/noindex>\", then another one about Docker titled \"<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/herewecode.io\/blog\/a-beginners-guide-to-docker-how-to-create-your-first-docker-application\/\">Beginner's Guide to Docker: How to Create Your First Docker Application<\/a><\/noindex>\" and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Write for others and you will improve your programming skills. The ability to explain a concept and how it works is a crucial skill for a developer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Remember:<\/b> You don\u2019t need to be an expert in the field to write about something.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Read code<\/h3>\n<p>\nEverything you read about code will improve your programming skills.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can read:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Code on GitHub<\/li>\n<li>Books<\/li>\n<li>Articles<\/li>\n<li>Newsletters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nYou can learn a lot from others' code. You can find experts in your area or use GitHub to find code similar to your own. It's interesting to see how other developers write code and solve problems. You will develop your critical thinking skills. Is the method they use better than yours? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<p>Besides daily programming, why not read at least one article or a few pages of a programming book every day?<\/p>\n<p>Some well-known books:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin<\/li>\n<li>The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master<\/li>\n<li>Cal Newport: Deep Work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>5. Ask questions<\/h3>\n<p>\nDon\u2019t hesitate to ask too much.<\/p>\n<p>Asking questions is useful if you don\u2019t understand something. You can turn to your colleagues or friends. Use programming forums if you don\u2019t know anyone you can ask.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you need a different explanation to understand a concept. It\u2019s certainly good to get lost in online searches, but at some point, it\u2019s better to ask other developers.<\/p>\n<p>Leverage another person's knowledge to improve yourself. And if you ask another developer, there\u2019s a high chance they will not only respond but also appreciate you.<br \/>\n<br \/>Source: <a content=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow\"
