Can you define #3? Meaning going from easy to difficult? Or starting with a difficult task and trying to solve it (at the beginning everything seems difficult, but yeah :).
- MikeMacMan 15y agoI meant choosing a project that is not too difficult, but is interesting. Solve a real problem, even if it's small. One advantage you have is that instead of being a programmer, you have expertise in something else. Are their any problems in your own field that you can solve with software?
- carucez 15y agoI implemented a lot of statistics functions to learn how to program in a language. Some of the things I've learned on include: * moving averages * linear regression * matrix operations * matrix lu factorization * polynomial interpolation. * multiple linear regression * cubic spline interpolation * variance, covariance, correlation * gamma function * t-test, t-value calculations One limitation of the above is that it doesn't explore all of a language's features. The above are mostly interested in array processing. There aren't any classes or generic types or what-have-you.
