❔ How do you recommend going about learning how to code.
So, I am horribly new to coding, I just followed a tutorial of 4 hours throughout the past 3 days. Taking me a total of like 14 hours-ish cause I try not to forget or be unable to use whatever I learn.
But now what should I do, cause I feel like tutorials only go so far with learning the syntax a bit, but not really understanding how to use them or teaching you problem solving. Are there any steps you guys really recommend?

practicing the skills you've hopefully learned from the tutorial.
Watching a video will only very very shallowly teach you anything, so you need to reinforce it by using it
so whenever they introduce a new concept, practice using it a few times in your code editor
I recommend coming up with a project idea, and then building it, to the best of your ability
if you can't think of anything, google up some suggestions
keep in mind this is a project that will exist solely for the purpose of giving you something to do
you'll probably never finish it, it probably won't be remotely useful in the real world
that's normal
thank you for the advice guys :D
