I am bad at managing my time after work. My current job leaves me drained at the end of the day so then I chase after escapes (like gaming or Netflix).
I have a good grasp on HTML/CSS and a bit of PHP and JS, but everything else (despite taking a few C++ classes years ago) feels almost like a brick wall.
I've tried reading up on Swift and some other languages and it just hasn't clicked for me again yet.
I plan on trying and trying, because I would really like to go into either programming or web dev instead of doing support like I am now. It would pay more, be less frustrating, quieter, and more satisfying.
Maybe I'll get there eventually. Trying a few new things online (ebooks/etc regarding Python and other languages). I think it's just not a focused-enough effort from me yet.
TL;DR - I want to learn but I am standing in my own way and still working on that
- robert_m_h 11y agoIt might be that you are spreading your efforts out across too many languages. My suggestion would be to try focusing in on one until you feel like you've gained some traction. Good luck.
- pedrohsilva 11y agoIf you can afford it, start a programming course at a local school. Most of us are not used to online classes and often don't feel the "commitment" with it. A well structured class will largely help you climb the "brick wall", as some fundamental programming concepts may be hard to grasp at first.
