Hi Reader,
This week I want to share my learning from 12 rules to learn to code by Dr. Angela Yu.
1. Trick your Brain with the 20 min Rule
2. Code for a Purpose
3. There is no “perfect language to Learn”
4. Understand what you are writing
5. It’s OK to not know
6. Be a copycat
7. Be accountable
8. Keep learning
9. Play football
10. Get a mentor
11. Get into Habit of Chunking
12. Break someone else’s code
Never copy-paste code that you don’t understand.
Then what to do?
Step 1: Copy-paste into your program.
Step 2: Make sure it’s functioning properly.
Step 3: Delete the copy-paste code line by line.
Step 4: Each time you delete, check what’s broken.
Step 5: Test your assumptions against the outcome.
Step 6: Swap some of the lines around.
Explore open source, Github. Code something, learn something, make something today.
Wishing you happing coding and learning :))
Regards,
Basanta.

Hello Reader, Umm, this week also I am not writing anything about technical stuff. I have been doing a bunch of things sitting in front of my laptop. I actually love what I am learning and doing in the technical field, may it be web development, video editing, graphics designing or anything. It makes me feel happy and accomplished. I enjoy my work a lot. I kind of feel productive while I write a code. I love solving problems using technology. Indeed I am in love with whatever I am doing right...
Hello Reader, I found it amazing that many people on this planet quit their well-paying job to fulfil their fantasy of travelling alone. I found it crazy. Why would someone leave their job just to move from one place to another? Will they make money or do they just handle their expenses with their savings? And how long will that saving cover those expenses? And now next question is, who doesn’t love travelling? Who doesn’t like capturing the moment? Who doesn’t love exploring new places? Who...
