I'm doing it right now. only problem is you are really "self" taught and when you get stuck, there is no help so you can spend hours or even a day searching for a solution that should only take a few minutes.

Absolutely. Been through it many times myself.

It is just the nature of it. But as you keep doing and researching, you learn how to better troubleshoot your own code, or how to change your Google search to better fit what problem you're looking to solve. Keep at it bro, you'll definitely improve. It's always difficult at the start. Things I could do now would've been unthinkable a month in for me.

yeah, so true about me, because I'm learning at a snails pace.some times it damn frustrate me. I want to apply what i’ve learned in a project.

It can be extremely frustrating, especially in the beginning. This is where the problem solving aspect comes in too. Can't get something to work one way, well can you think of another then? There's almost always more that one way to build something. What language are you learning now and in what capacity? (Ex: SQL and DBA, JavaScript and web dev, etc)

I currently struggling with C++. I’ve been coding for nearly six month. not to get a job (obviously, because I’m too beginner for one), but just to code for fun. I inspired by the Firewalls and security platforms that I'm configuring and by enviroment that I'm working right now.
I actually want to learn how to code to enter in Security field and capable of analyse trafics and find bugs in applications in network computers. I'm finding it harder and harder to get roles as a Network Administrator without coding skills. so i started with C++ and after learn it completely, I'll go for Python.
I spend minimum hours a day(1 hour) for learning and coding, due to busy with a full time job in the company.

How did you learn to code(Programming)?
@Kopanja @AlexDP705 @Nejc @AFL_ITALIA @Cerval @suligodsilla

Self Taught
Boot Camp
Reading Book
college(syllabus)
Work Inviroment

Mostly high school and college, then got focused/specialised on iOS app development at work. Never used books or attended boot camps.

Computer Science?

 

[Nejc]

My masters is in Telecommunications which I guess is a mix of computer science and electrical engineering, had plenty of programming. I do lack some theoretical knowledge from pure computer science classes though.

The journey is definitely easier if you have the right support!

As with everything else, but you gotta play the cards you were dealt.

challenging but it is pretty much possible.

Python is the best programming language for hacking!

Installed Python packege on NetBeans!

Try PyCharm, theres a community edition

JetBrains, the creators of PyCharm, run their own annual survey with Python developers. Their 2019 results show VS Code running a close second to the more mature IDE. In the often-hyped data science field, VS Code holds 23% of developers to PyCharm’s 28%:

I tried VS, CodeBlocks and NetBeans. with VS , I had many problems with prompting the code. since i use linux, running NetBeans has been smoothly with getting less errors and showing less problems. i'll try PyCharm.

IntelliJ is the best but i like Eclipse also because of Nostalgia

Can confirm Xcode is garbage

Started learning python through YouTube tutorials and some free video clips like 4 days ago. with the background about C++ and knowing structure, values, variables, strings and arrays python is quite easy. Using the already created classes and libraries from C++ and created my libraries to gain more functionality.

 

[suligodsilla]

Python is mighty

 

[Siamak]

C++ is faster but Python is flexible and easy do code.

 

[Nejc]

If you want C performance with Python code - I remember reading about this a few years ago, not sure at what point it is now.
