>>427 I'm also struggling with my attention span, most likely because I lack self-discipline and just lazy overall down , what programming language are you learning? I'm being taught Python, HTML, CSS, and possibly javashit in college right now. cry

Idk how much it counts as actual programming, but I found out what batch files were when I was 9 or 10 years old and used them to make little text based adventure games

Depending on the language you choose, the official guides, documentation and "getting started" might be great to learn. Avoid using tutorials because those usually don't really teach you much other than following steps "now do this, now do that". In terms of practice, you can start with experimentations, exercises, etc, and once you feel comfortable enough you can start programming something that you can make use of. It doesn't have to be something incredible or gigantic regardless of your experience, you can make a project as simple as a small script or an application that does something that you need to be done. Don't worry about "reinventing the wheel" or making a program that already exists because you are making it your way and learning in the process.

i did those game-like courses when i got bored. like uh, codecademy or whatever. i put alot of my kiddie hours into that but i kinda forgot most of it anyway cuz i didnt use it afterwards. But i definitely was proficient in the few months i did do those courses

i learned python first, by making a dicksword bot. it acted as a foundation for lots of different feature ideas you have to learn how to implement, like parsing files, editing images, using apis etc happy2

>>427 I was good at coding, but after a hiatus where I had to learn other stuff, I'm not good coding anymore. eww Now I just vibe code, because that's better than nothing and gets me to learn what I would have not encountered otherwise, especially if I force the LLM bot to explain wtf did he do. sleep

The best way to learn is by coding. You want to do something and you hit you head against your desk until you achieve it
