0.PLAN
You do not want to hold a gun and start shooting off in any direction right? Same thing with the coding. I s it that you want to make money, make a game, webpages, application ? If you answer yourself these questions it will be very easy to know in which direction to code
Libraries
Java have thousands of libraries so do other programs. Use the help from the plan you make and try to analyze the libraries that you should make to be able to achieve all of this things. Is it a click listener ? File handling? Drawing ?
Do not give a long run on the first go
I know it’s your first time now thing =s are getting very interesting and then yoy jump in and what happens next is that you want to spend 1 hour coding and coding and coding… The problem is you will end up losing interest very fast and you won’t feel like coding the next day. Instead give 10-15 minutes on the first day and keep increasing five minutes daily.
Trying to be creative
So far the code that you have been learning is from the teacher not yours but it’s helping you. Now it’s time to practice and put a little bit of hat you learned for the planning you made. Let’s say you learned 2+2, adding two numbers together you can trying doing 2-2,Subtracting two numbers.
Easy look
Instead of this
public void greetings(){System.out.println(“hello world”);}
Do something that’s easy to understand
public void greetings()
{
System.out.println(“hello world”);
}
Even though both are the same thing but it does not make your code to look all noised up.
