I'm a new coder too. What helps me is finding a good place to learn the most basic principles and having 2-5 things I want to do. I started with codedex.io , learning Python and HTML and then took their courses and moved on looking for projects with tutorials. Little steps one by one. The rest is practice breaking things down into tiny steps. Source: over 1 year ago

I think you should focus on HTML, CSS, and JS, starting with HTML. I just started HTML on a website called codedex.io. Pretty cool so far but I feel like I'm getting into a brand new thing haha. Source: over 1 year ago

I've been learning Python on a website called codedex.io for about 6 months. It's been great for me so far. I just started on Classes and Objects. Give them a try, you might like them. Source: over 1 year ago

Python is a great language to start as a beginner! I don't know how new you are but a good place to learn some basics is codedex.io (also where I started from zero, 6 months ago haha). Source: over 1 year ago

You should start from the basics with a platform like codedex.io they do Python! It was straightforward to use for me (I'm 32). Give them a try. I am still a beginner, but I was starting from zero. Source: over 1 year ago

A very practical background ;) I read tons about it ever since I started learning Mandarin 5 years ago. Eventually I turned the method that worked for me into an app (https://traverse.link/). Source: about 1 year ago

I agree that spaced repetition is an effective method for studying, particularly when preparing for exams like the MCAT. Going through the r/MCAT subreddit is an excellent idea, as you can discover strategies that have worked for others and adapt them to your personal learning style. Additionally, I'd like to share an app I developed called Traverse, which combines mind mapping, note-taking, and flashcards in one... Source: about 1 year ago

Visually map them out, and then test yourself on each step using map occlusion cards (you can use sw like traverse to create those). Source: about 1 year ago

If you're interested in a more visual approach you can try https://traverse.link/ - it's an app I created which has spaced repetition, but really its goal is to cover the whole learning process, so it also has mind mapping and note-taking so you get a big picture view of what you're learning, why reinforcing bottom-up with spaced repetition. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

It seems like you have a solid study plan in place, using a combination of different resources and techniques. Since you mentioned that you find mind maps helpful, you might find an app called Traverse useful. It combines mind mapping, note-taking, and flashcards, allowing you to build a top-down big picture understanding of the material and then use active recall and spaced repetition flashcards to memorize the...
