CSI started coding on @codecademy in 2019 and now they’re supporting me and my content 🥹 thank you Codecademy for sponsoring this reel! Here is my guide to learn programming at home (from someone who actually did it lol):
1. Figure out what you want to learn and do
Web development, data science, embedded systems, cyberSec - pick an area to start. Try to work backwards from the type of work you see yourself doing in the future. If you’re unsure, you can start by learning the fundamentals of computer science because you‘ll apply it in all areas.
2. Have a long term vision, a medium term plan and a daily schedule
Be flexible but disciplined. A dream without a plan is just a dream, not a goal :)
3. Invest in online courses if you can, it will save you time.
There is a lot of noise on the internet. A good course can accelerate your learning by weeks. I personally used these 3 codecademy courses and they helped me a lot, saved me time and eliminated decision fatigue.
4. Try to get hands-on experience as soon as you know the basics.
Work on a bigger, more challenging project by yourself or with others. It can be something for you, for someone else or an open source contribution. I started by doing the Codecademy portfolio project, and then contributed to EdgeSheet with my friends.
5. Learn data structures and algorithms only after you’ve become comfortable and proficient with programming.
Make sure to dive deep into the topic at least once, including how all the data structures and algorithms work under the hood.
