Ever tried to start learning programming and failed? Well, here is how I started without failing.

It has happened with many of us. There are some fine days in our lives when we are motivated by many external or internal factors to start learning how to program. The factors varies with various people. Some wants to learn it just for fun, other wants to learn it to find a nice job and then there are these people who gets motivated by genius programmers and billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.

Whatever may the motivational factor be, sadly many of them ends up giving up just because it seems hard to them or they never finds a good source where they can learn without any hesitation and hindrance. We can assure this happens a lot by searching a simple 'failed to learn programming' term on Google and the results are:

Yes, programming isn't easy and yes it takes determination to learn it but there are some points which you should keep in mind while learning how to program.
  1. Choose an easy language to start with: Yes, you should never start learning programming with the classic C or C++ language rather you should go with easy to understand and easy to learn languages like Python, JavaScript, Ruby etc.
  2. Practice as much as you can: This is one of the most important thing to reflect upon while learning programming otherwise you'll end up watching full tutorial series or reading whole of the documentation and when you'll finally sit to write some code there will be nothing inside your head. So, practice each day as much as you can. Write almost 10 programs related to each concept  as soon as you learn it.
  3. Be patient and be determined: I know this wouldn't be easy but you have to be, most importantly, patient. The process of learning is always long and should be long as it is preparing you for a long time ahead. Below is an amazing quote which will help you in the process.

I know you can do it this time. Don't worry, just start. Suffer now and live rest of your life as a champion!
