I'm largely self-taught (3 courses in 50 years). I think I understand the issues. To survive in this world you must understand Structured Programming and Object-Oriented Programming. There must be a concise book on this. Find it and read it.
For me, carefully reading a language manual while thinking of a specific project was hugely successful. You must thoroughly understand the language. From your uncertainty it sounds like you should review your chosen language and master it.
- Regardsyjc 8y agoThank you. I'll work on finding the best books for Structured Programming and Object-Oriented Programming. What do you do when you struggle with the documentation? Is there a progression level of recommended documentation readings haha.
- oldmancoyote 8y agoThe documentation for applications and operating systems is notoriously uneven. The only thing to do there is to grit your teeth and work your way through it as you have done so far. Then, review what you have learned. For languages and theory, there is a wider range of books to choose from. Spend some time at the library, the bookstore, and on the web searching for something special. You are choosing the tools of your profession so take some time and choose carefully.
