I've been coding for some time, but I still have issues with some programming, but I have no ideas of what to do to improve my coding abilities. Any tips?

Learn easy languages like Python first. Test your skills using codingbat (dot) com

a great place to start learning is to try making some mods for a game you really like, and just search it up on youtube - or if you just want to try the language then i would recommend codecademy website

If you have a lot of free time and a little money to pay for training, I recommend going to the side of online courses from the Udemu provider. :peace: :lit:

Easy languages, and start doing things on your own, making tools for yourself, small challenges.

I'd say if you go on Twitch and ask any developer on there for tips, they'll have a document or article that will give you resources on how to start and what to start on

build some small web-apps with JavaScript/TypeScript and all related tooling - there are like millions of good guides available in the web

People will say to learn easy languages like Python first but I believe that it's much more valuable to learn from something like C# (if you're using Windows) because it'll teach you much more.

there are some free udemy lessons that will get you started. also some dedicated language sites such as learncpp.com and such. dont be discouraged, its not that hard if you have prior math knowledge.

People have posted "lessons" but the challenge is after the lessons, you may not have retained that much information.

The best way is to come up with a simple task that you want accomplished, e.g., "play a mp3 file at 6 am" and try to do it.

Also, in regards to language, they're all the same, but I personally use Python for a few reasons:
1) The LIBRARIES; there are so many for all sorts of stuff
2) Relatively easy / straight forward, e.g., no typing

At any rate, good luck with your journey!
