To ensure the best practice, make sure you understand the correct way to build the skill and the correct guidelines to it to ensure a productive and beneficial practice so that the skill you develop will be correct in gett...

First Few Languages I Believe Is Good To Start When it comes to programming, there are many different languages available around the world and some are easier than others and some are more commonly used as programming languages are advancing and becoming more programmer friendly, well some and well basically things are getting better. Now when you start off in programming or you want to learn programming with the easiest and most effective ways or languages to quickly grasp the necessary concepts and get a good feel of what programming is, then there are a few suggestions that I would recommend for you to learn. Firstly, I would start off with the language that I actually started off with, which is: Visual Basic Visual Basic also known as V.B is an amazing programming language from Microsoft that is easy to learn and great for beginners. It is very English orientated meaning most of the coding is really close to writing in English. It al...

Let Your IT Dreams Flow When you start off in the field of IT, whether it be programming, networking, etc. we all start off well most I would believe start off having this wonder in their eyes and passion in their soul that drives them and engulfs their life with the magic and beauty of technology. That drive gives way to great ambitions and dreams which may just go in every direction in your mind or perhaps aspire to certain goals big or small that may even be or seem impossible to most at the time but something in you gives you that thought and belief that you can make the impossible possible. But what I noticed is that as time passes, going to work and caught up in the world that these ambitions and beliefs and dreams vanish for most and I believe that is a tragedy as without these emotions and drives through what you enjoy and was captivated into surely will lead your love for technology to decrease and everything would seem a mission and would become the start a...

Copy And Paste! When it comes to doing research or a problem in programming occurs where you can’t seem to come to a solution on your own, your final place to search for the solution is the internet and finding solutions which others have developed. Next thing you know, you copy and paste. In this stage of learning, yes it is good to join communities and observe the different solutions that come by to get a better understanding of how problems are generally solved with varieties of solutions but by coping and pasting, I am absolutely sure that you are not learning anything by this activity. A better, not perfect but better method or first step to reforming or gaining from other’s insights is to write out the code or information that you find. Type it or write it out word for word.

Theory And Practical Theory and practical are two of the main ways of learning throughout the world and I doubt there is any other ways of learning or creating a skill in life. Theory is on the more literacy side where you focus on reading and gathering information through the comprehension of books and take in as much information as you can through literature. Practical on the other hand is much more hands on and physical where you grasp concepts through putting action into understanding and in this way pick up skills and comprehend concepts. Some believe that one is better than the other and focus on one tool either theory or practical. In my belief, this is wrong. Both ways of learning should be incorporated into your learning experience. Imagine going to learn a programming language or creating a website or even common task like baking a cake or creating something you have no skill or knowledge in or gaining knowledge but not putting it into practice. In...
