So I’m an on/off noobie but have been focusing on actually sticking with programming what I’ve been working on is Python but this question is for programming in general. For me it’s hard but I want to see how I can get better

Like are these good ways to get good:

Follow tutorials, then work on ways of adding your own twists or changes? Or trying to code it in something else?

Work on assignments from a resource you’re using like in my case Python Crash Course and attempt to redo the assignments without looking back?

Experiment with multiple libraries and library methods or built in methods?

Please share any other ways especially ones that helped you

Also when would be good to start a new language after learning one

    The best way is to try and make projects you want to make.

    It is important to make ones that you really want to do yourself. I don’t know how it is with the others, but I immediately got demotivated after a day of trying to develop something someone else made just for the sake of learning.

    In my experience, you will learn better and faster by developing things you actually want to develop. And you will also be rewarded with a good amount of dopamine.
