I wasted 4 years learning Java

I wasted 4 years learning Java. The problem wasn’t the programming language but the pattern I was learning it. I downloaded almost all Java tutorials on YouTube and was consistently watching and reading articles. However, I still didn’t fully comprehend or grasp any concept of programming. One day, I decided that come rain or sun, I’m going to build the Windows Calculator. That is when everything changed. After struggling for a long time, I finally built the calculator. Also, I noticed that my questioning changed from “What is” to “How to”. I started asking more direct questions that relate to my challenges. Infact, I went further to build other apps such as: - library management system - hospital management system - Cyber billing app - etc …and the rest is history. Project-based learning approach is the best way to learn this backend engineering thing. Jump out of tutorial hell.
