That's not making stuff. You have to think about it yourself. Programming is not memorising syntax and copying other people. Programming is thinking about solving problems in a way suited to the tools you have. That is what you need to work on.

Because you had to transcribe the code from the book to the program. Now days it is just too easy to copy and paste.
