Ask HN: Projects one can build to get better at programming as a beginner?
Is there a list of projects or the like that beginning programmers can build to get better at their favorite programming language?
Also if there are repos, tutorials, walkthroughs you want to mention?
- brudgers 3y agoHere is the prose your question motivated me to write. https://benrudgers.posthaven.com/remarks-re-ideal-project-for-beginning-programmer https://benrudgers.posthaven.com/remarks-re-ideal-project-fo... Basicially, choice of project is the least important aspect of learning anything. When you are seriously learning you won't have the technical experience necessary to make a well informed choice. Time spent doing something is valuable. Time spent choosing what to do is not. Good luck.
- JoeCortopassi 3y agoThe standard answer is: - Hello World - Calculator (add/subtract/multiply/divide) - Todo List (create/delete todo items, mark them as done, view completed and current) - Blog (user facing blog posts, a place to sign in and create/edit/delete posts) - Forum (user account handling, posting, moderation, etc) The most gain of knowledge will come from just building the core functionality, but they quickly can become fun to tweak in small ways to add features
