5 effective ways you can improve your coding skills
A short thread 🧵
🎯Have good command of one programming language.
One thing I have noticed is that it’s far easier to learn a new language when you fully comprehend one. Instead of hoping from one language to another, fully commit to “mastering” just one.
🎯 Constantly practice what you learn.
Build projects based on them. There is absolutely no better way to learn than doing it yourself, and consistently. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, what matters is you do it. Practise makes perfect.
🎯 Use time-saving tools to code.
This increases productivity a lot. You can achieve a lot in limited time when you have the right tools at your disposal. Invest your time in tools that will eliminate repetition from your work.
🎯 Stay updated.
Read up-to-date docs/articles and watch recent tutorial videos. Changes occur at a rapid pace in the programming world and it’s best to stay updated. Language syntax and processes get deprecated at a fast rate, and new improvements are released as well.
🎯 Have a good understanding of data structures and algorithms concept.
This is literally what programming is all about. When you understand this, you automatically become a good programmer irrespective of the programming language involved.
That’s all from my part.

🎯 LEARN HTML
HTML is the markup language of the web. With it, you can make texts underlined, bold, italicized etc. You can also create navigations, forms and many more web elements.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style/design HTML elements. Without CSS, the whole web page would look boring. CSS can also be used to create simple, yet eye-catching animations.
7 essential technical skills every software developer should have.

🔹OOP Language (C++, Java)
This is a programming paradigm that helps you model web entities after real life objects. Here you can specify properties and methods which controls how the elements looks and behaves.
It's also very powerful and allows you to virtually anything.
🔹DATABASES AND SQL
Data are stored in databases and SQL (Structured Query language) is the language used to manage relational "tabular" databases.
It is important you know SQL, along with a database like like Oracle ,
MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL

🔹Text Editors
Every programmer should know one text editor pretty well. Software developers do a lot of text processing jobs and knowing a text editor will always help.
Example of this is NotePad, which is a very good, omnipresent, basic text editor.
🔹Integrated Development Environments
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is software that consolidates the basic tools needed for software testing and writing.
Some IDEs are very complex and can act as an environment for creating applications.
