I’m being taught some network programming, and my friend/teacher is helping me on the project to teach me, and I’m learning a lot but I don’t feel like I’ve personally done a lot.

I mean I’ve debugged and asked questions and make sure I understand what’s happening but I still don’t feel like I’ve done a lot. :/

Maybe you should practice what you learn yourself. I think it's the best way of seriously learning and remembering something.

@orhun I’ve been trying to think of a project I could do after to use what I’ve been taught, so hopefully that’ll help ease my train of thought

@Bubbles Yes, it's even better. That's what I do when I decide to practice something.
I think you should definitely go with a project. The only problem is finding a eligible project idea in this situation.

Raw network programming? It always helps me to build something simple using the tech I'm learning about.

When I was learning network stack it helped me greatly building a dummy chat app. CLI-based, nothing fancy. But building the engine was the thing that showed what I already knew and what needed to be researched on.

Playgrounds always help to learn. Make them.

@orhun actually it’s funny cause @netikras guessed the project I want to do after

A simple CLI based chat app
