Well, I've been reading 'rants' in this community, and I'm amazed at how people discuss various softwares, languages, and sometimes even hardware!
I'd say I'm a noob. Can't even compare my 'coding knowledge' with what people know in this community, and I don't want to. I like that I'm now a part of this community. But I feel intimidated at times by the amount of things there are to learn! And I don't know how to start. I mean, we had a course on C for a semester, and I tried to build up on that myself. Other than that, I've been trying to learn web-dev, made a browser based game and tried to learn some back end. But I don't know exactly how to build up my proficiency with code, and solving problems, from here on out. So I would really appreciate if this golden community could help me out.(Not trying to flatter anyone. I don't express much, but all this is what I genuinely feel, and am grateful about.) I want to know how to go on about learning knew things in the realm of programming, and how I can apply it to solve actual problems. What language should I learn first? What will be valuable in this rapid-paced time? And some courses to help out?

I stumbled upon devRant one day out of nowhere, and I'm glad I did.

    Welcome @Saha!!! The community is great here. I'm also learning programming, I've been in it for 5 months already and let me tell you that if you keep pushing and finding new things to learn, you'll get to a point in which you will be able to understand most of this stuff. Some recommendations:

    -If you don't understand something, search it. Your searching skills are the most important and useful skills for learning. Do the same with bugs, problems and anything you want to do but don't understand.

    -Think of some path you want start with, and go through it. You can follow data science, backend, front end, android, security, etc.

    -If you want to learn some sort of web development, this will be a good guide of stuff to learn:

    -Have fun. Look for projects you'd want to build with stuff you've learned.

    -If books are your thing, read books.

    I'm sure someday we'll be able to understand all of what these pros are talking about 😊
