How do I get better at programming, and please, can anyone mentor me?

You can only get better at programming by doing a bunch of programming

Make a project!

Why do you think ppl want to spend valuable time to mentor you

@retoor I'm going for a full stark developer

@devRancid you just 🔥 my feeling ?

1: learn how to use search engines, to read documentations, and to research things for yourself.

2: ???

3: profit.

Got any ideas? Programming is the closest thing to magic this hell has to offer. If you can think it, you can make it. And don’t worry about rewriting the project in something else again, code is worthless anyway. The discipline of solving problems is the valuable part.

1. Program

2. Learn concepts to solve problems you run into.

3. Get on Khan Academy to learn about stuff you don't know about.

4. Read other people's code.

5. Find books on topics you want in depth knowledge of.

6. Goto 1

Once you feel like you have learned a language well then go watch videos about idiomatic programming in the that language on youtube. Realize how much of a noob you are and Goto 1 again.

Also, there are mentors at Khan Academy.

@retoor I never used that so I don't know. On Khan Academy I was doing some refresher on calculus on there. I also did some code to learn other sorting algos. I posted my code and a real person gave me coding improvements and suggestions. The guy who made it wanted to help his kids learn math and coding.

@retoor you can donate. Not required.

@Chewbanacas thank you
