Tips for new developers

Be open minded

When you are still new to coding you need to be open minded. You are going to do a lot of learning and thinking and trust me it can be a lot at times but you will get a hang of things.

2. Ask for help when you need it.

Part of learning is asking for help from people who have been in the field longer than you. Asking does not make you weak but it is molding you to becoming the best version of yourself as a developer.

3. Make different search engines your best friend

You might not know it yet but your answer to that problem you are facing in your code is a finger tip away. Use search engines such as google to find solutions to coding problems you are encountering.

4. Do not be afraid to make mistakes

We have a mentality that we do not have to make mistakes when coding. Mistakes are a part of learning and you will definitely get better with time. Developers that have long been in the game still make mistakes to date.

5. Understand the logic and code you are writing.

Many new developers have a tendency of using code they harvested from the internet . Yes the code will run and do what you want it to do but, you need to understand that that will only help you at that particular time. If you understand the code before you use it, you are more likely to create it in the future and that is what you want to happen.

The plan is to grow as a developer and be able to write codes with little to no Hussle.

6. Write Blogs

Blogs are for you to document what you have learned, what gave you a hard time and how you managed to solve it. Blog writing is not only for the end user but for you as a developer too, You will be able to see how far you have come since you have started coding .

Conclusion

The tips I have mentioned are what I use as a new developer and they have come really useful. The only person that can push you to growth is you and you need to do it for yourself.
