THINK BEFORE YOU CODE
Before writing code for your application you need to imagine, in a step-by-step flow, how you want your app to run
Using a piece of paper close to your keyboard, draw graphs, concepts, images, etc.
Visualize your app and consider all you need to build it

🔹PARTICIPATE IN FORUMS

🔹TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW
As they say : "The best way to learn is by teaching". That statement is absolutely correct.
I will strongly suggest setting up a blog where you write about all what you learn in the process of coding.
The benefits are huge, trust me!

🔹LEARN MORE LANGUAGES
Do this only when you're comfortable to. Learning a new language broadens your knowledge scope and opens you to a whole new way of coding.
Very beneficial.

🔹BUILD BUILD BUILD
This is arguably the most important. Lots of people just binge on tutorials but don't practice what they learned, i am guilty of this too. Trust me, it's not going to help you at all.
Engaging on projects will always make you a more proficient developer.

🔹BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

When this happens, you need to convince yourself that you're capable.
