Hi Gary,
Sharing from my own experiences
- Following along with project-based tutorials, will NOT help you at all.
- Doing above prevents you using our own brain / mind; instead you’ll be doing machine work which doesn’t use its own mind.
- You need to understand how to break down problem into smallest piece possible and then google it, try it and build on top of it.
- This way it helps to train your brain about building projects from scratch, it hurts a lot initially, it’s painful a lot but this is the only way to learn programming.
- You need callous your mind, just like new guitar player does to his/her fingers while learning to play it. Just watching YT video of someone playing won’t help at all
- Please check below videos
Let me know if you need any further help.
Best,
Vikram
