top 5 ttrpgs for beginners

Sorry that this one took me a bit longer to answer than all the other Top 5 asks :p i wanted to explain a bit of my reasoning behind it and this gave me q chance to ramble a bit about something that bothers me lol

So, first of all I want to talk about what TO ME makes something a good beginner RPG.

Ramble:

I've talked a bit in the past about how I have sort of a bone to pick with the way so many people, when asked for recs for beginner TTRPGs, immediately decide to recommend extremely rules-light/minimalist/one-page RPGs (Hacks of Lasers&Feelings in particular seem to be somewhat popular on this front), when IMO these types of RPGs are at their best when played by an experienced group (or at the very least with least one very experienced player/GM who can provide some guidance to the others). I think a lot of ppl seem to have the impression that simpler mechanics inherently make a game more beginner-friendly, and that thus the most beginner-friendly games are inherently gonna be the ones with the simplest mechanics. And while this is true to an extent (a 700-page RPG with tons of complicated mechanics to remember is obviously gonna be inaccessible to beginners), when you consider that mechanics exist to DELEGATE decisions about the fiction away from the players and the GM so that they don't have to manually arbitrate them every time, there is point where less mechanics are gonna make harder for new players because it means there's more thing they're gonna have to find a way to arbitrate on and decide by themselves, and that's a skill that takes time to develop. An experienced group can probably get a ton of mileage out of a system that essentially ammounts to "the GM describes the world. The players describe what their characters do, and the GM describes how the world reacrs. When the outcome of a player action is uncertain, then [simple resolution mechanic]" but a beginner group is gonna be a little lost. Especially if the game, like many of these types of games, includes practically nothing in terms of GM tools. So I think recommending beginner RPGs solely on the base of how simple they are is well-intentioned but misguided.

(Ramble over)

So, some of what, to me, makes something a good beginner RPG is

Rules provide enough support that the group won't have to constantly be figuring out how to adjudicate stuff on the fly, but they're simple and flexible enough that they're easy to remember and learning them doesn't feel like a daunting task like it does with a certain game (*cough cough* D&D)

Relatively short and uni timidating. Maybe between like 20 and 100 pages. Players should be able to read through the rules and mechanics in one sitting.

Plenty of examples of play, often a good example of play is what makes a game's rules really *click* for a new player.

Relatively quick and painless to start running for the first time. Character creation should be quick and snappy, and if possible a short pre-written adventure (hopefully with some room to be expanded into something larger) should be included within the same book and ready to run out of the box. Even if your group doesn't like using prewritten adventures, having a *good* prewritten adventure can be a huge help in understanding how to write/design them.

Solid set of GM tools and resources (if it's a game with a GM, of course)

Optionally, plenty of compatible material to either use or take inspo from.

So, I think my recs would for beginner games would be...

Mausritter

If any of you have EVER heard me talk about RPGs you knew Mausritter was gonna be here TBH. I've repeatedly talked about it being one of my favorite RPGs and also that I consider it pretty much an ideal introduction to the hobby. I think the woodland critter theme is extremely charming and attractive for people of any age, while the slightly darker elements that rear their head from time to time keep it from feeling too childish.

The mechanics are simple and flexible but still provide enough structure that even a new GM will rarely if ever be at a loss about how to resolve a particular action. They're familiar to anyone who's played a dungeon game while still being extremely streamlined. 3 stats with the main action resolution being roll-under tests, no classes, characters are defined mostly by their inventory, all attacks auto hit and initiative is extremely streamlined, which keeps combat quick and dynamic, etc. And the mechanics are pretty short and esy to digest too, the players' section of the rulebook only takes 18 pages, including stuff like inventory tables and examples of play, and the website features a handy one.page rules summary (which also comes with the box set)

It's super easy to get running: character creation takes a couple minutes at most, and it features both a simple adventure and hexcrawl that can be used right out of the box with plenty of interesting directions to expand for further adventures.

Now, Mausritter takes most of its mechanics from Into The Odd, so a lot of its virtues come to it, but I think the few changes it made DO make mausritter most beginner-friendly, such as its inventory system which makes inventory management into a genuine challenge without having it devolve into a slog of tedious book-keeping, and the incorporation of a streamlined version of GloG's magic system, which manages to still be simple and easy without being as loose and freeform as the magic system from a lot of OSR games of similar complexity (which can be initially daunting to new players)

But what REALLY makes mausritter shine IMO is the extremely solid set of GM tools. In just a few pages mausritter manages to provide simple rules, procedures, generators and advice for running faction play, making an engaging hexcrawl, making adventure sites, and generating stuff like treasure hoards, NPCs, an adventure seeds and overal just a ton of useful stuff that takes a huge load off of the shoulders of any beginner GM.

Cairn

Lets say you're into Mausritter mechanically but your players aren't into the whole woodland creature theme and want to play something more traditional. Cairn is also built on Into The Odd's system, and takes inspiration from some of the same sources, so it's very similar mechanically. It does feature some significant differences regarding magic, character advancement, and how injury and healing work, but overall it's still mostly the same system under the hood, so a lot of what I said makes Mausritter a great introduction to the hobby mechanically still applies here (quick and flavorful character creation, dynamic and streamlined but dangerous combat, etc). It's also a classless system that features msotly inventory-defined characters, but aside from the option to randomly roll your gear, the game also offers the option of picking a gear package in case you wanna emulate a particular fantasy archetype.

Now, Cairn is a much more barebones document, and doesn't even feature examples of play or an explicit GM section with resources for running the game, which breaks with the things I said I look for in a beginner RPG. However, in this case I'm willing to forgive this because, first, Cairn's website features a plethora of first party and third party stuff that isn't featured in the book itself, including examples of play, GM procedures and tools, modular rules, and a wealh of conversions of creature stat blocks and adventures from D&D and other fantasy adventure ttrpgs.

And Second, something different that specifically distinguishes Cairn as a good example of a beginner RPG is how it explicitly outlines its philosophical and design principles, and the principles of play for both the GM and the players before it even shows you any rules, which is something that I think more games and ESPECIALLY begginer games should do. IMO the whole book is worth it just for that little section.

Troika!

Troika is a game built on the Fighting Fantasy system (which originally was less of a TTRPG system and more of an engine for a series of choose-your-own-adventure books) with a really interesting pseudo-victorian space opera weird gonzo setting which is a load of fun. It has very simple 2d6 mechanics, with characters having three stats (Stamina, Skill, and Luck), and being mostly defined by their inventory and the special skills from their background. Character creation is quick and snappy. The game gives you 36 weird and extremely creative character backgrounds, but creating a custom background is as easy as coming up with a concept and the names of a couple special skills that support that concept. It also has a very unique initiative system which might be a little divisive but which I DO find fun an interesting.

While it lacks many of the GM tools I praised Mausritter for, it makes up a little bit for it with an initial adventure that does a wonderful job at naturally introducing the weirdness of the setting, and which at the end presents a ton of opportunities to segway into a variety of urban adventures.

Now, a lot of beginners come into RPGs specifically looking for a D&D-type fantasy game (which is a problem because D&D is a pretty bad option for a beginner RPG) so for those types of players I would recommend

The Black Hack

The Black Hack is probably my favorite game for doing D&D-style fantasy roleplaying. It's a game that at its core uses the original 1974 white box edition of D&D for inspiration, but modernizes, reimagines, and streamlines every aspect of it to be one of the most simple yet elegant D&D-like experiences out there. For example, TBH uses the six stat array that all D&D players know and love, and with the same 3-18 point range, but does away with the attribute score / attribute modifier dichotomy, instead building its entire system around the attribute scores, with all rolls in the game being roll-under tests for a relevant attribute (including initiative, attack/defense rolls, and saving throws). It also innovated some extremely elegant mechanics that went on to be very influential for other games, such as its Usage Die mechanic as a way to streamline keeping track of consumable resources. Basically, it's like if D&D actually played the way it looks in cartoons and stuff: character creation doesn't take 3 hours, every combat encounter doesn't take five hours, and you can place some emphasis on resource management without the game making you want to tear your hair out with boring bookkeeping.

And one of the coolest things about it is the way it handles compatibility. Despite taking loose at best mechanical inspiration from D&D and playing very differently from it, TBH is intentionally designed to be compatible with a wealth of old-school D&D material. While it very clearly stands as its own distinct game, it's designed in such a way that you can prety much grab any creature stat block or adventure module written for any pre-3e version of D&D and use it in The Black Hack with little to no effort in conversion required.

The first edition of the game is a pretty barebones 20-page booklet that just describes the basic game mechanics, since it was assumed you'd probably be using D&D creature stat blocks and adventures with it anyway, but the second edition was significantly expanded with a bestiary, expanded GM procedures and advice, and tool for creating anything you could want: Hexcrawls, towns, dungeons, quests, treasure hoards, NPCs, dungeon rooms, traps, secrets doors, etc. plus a short premade adventure and even a few premade unkeyed dungeon maps that you can take and key yourself if you're in a pinch for a map, which as you all know, I think GM tools are an important part of a beginner game.

The game only includes the 4 basic classes from old-school D&D (fighter, thief, cleric, magic user) but the community has made several supplements adding back more modern classes.

Now, if you're that type of player that wants a D&D-like experience and you want an alternative that's still beginner-friendly but doesn't deviate as much from D&D's design, I would suggest:

either Basic Fantasy, or Old-School Essentials (or any good retroclone of Basic D&D tbh)

BF and OSE differ a bit from each other but at their core they're both attempts to repackage a relatively faithful but slightly modernized version of the 1981 Basic/Expert D&D set, retaining mostly the same mechanics while ditching a few of the aspects that might seem counterintuitive to a modern audience (such as descending AC, which I personally don't mind but I udnerstand why a lot of people find it confusing). I'm recommending these bc I think if you're gonna play any actual D&D product, the B/X set represents D&D at its most beginner-friendly (character creation is at its quickest and simplest, combat flows faster and remain itneresting due to doing side initiative rather than individual initative, the mechanics forsurprise, stealth, and dungeon exploration actions such as looking for traps are streamlined to simple D6 rolls) while still being recognizably D&D and these retroclones put in a bit of an extra effort to make them even more accessible to modern audiences.

Now, just like The Black Hack, these retroclones are limited in their race/class choice to the classic old-school D&D human/halfling/elf/dwarf and fighter/cleric/thief/magic user, but in the case of Basic Fantasy, the community has made several race and class supplements, some of which are showcased on the official website, and in the case of OSE, the OSE: Advanced addon reintroduces many of the modern classes and races that were originally introduced in the Advanced D&D line.

Have in mind that this list is pretty limited by my own tastes and experiences. I'm very aware that the very specific type of game I tend to play and like and experiences inroducing some of my friends to the hobby completely color the scope of what I can recommend as a good beginner RPG, and that that scope is significantly limited. I also like more narrative storygame type stuff, and I don't doubt that some of them would also make a fantastic introduction to the hobby (some PbTA stuff like Ironsworn, Dungeon World and Monster of the Week comes to mind) but my experience with them is not significant enough for me to feel confident in telling which of them are good beginner RPGs.

Also note that there are several games that I consider to be more MECHANICALLY beginner-friendly than the ones I listed here, but that I avoided mentioning specifically because they offer extremely little to no support in terms of GM tools, which I think is an important and often overlooked aspect of beginner-friendliness for any game that includes a GM! But they still might be worth checking out. These include games like DURF, FLEE, OZR, A Dungeon Game, Bastards, Dungeon Reavers, Knave 1e, and Tunnel Goons.

01 How I nearly gave up on Korean

This year I was so damn close to give up Korean.

How did I come to a stage where I was ready to throw 2,5 years of learning Korean out of the window? What had made me so fed up with it??

I felt light and excited at the beginning and I was like ”let’s make this fun”. I started on the right foot, I was so fascinated by the language and its content and eager to make efforts and enjoy the whole process.

But somehow along the way I lost my own personal goals out of sight.

On one hand there were people ”dumping” their opinion/advice and expectations on me, so I was feeling the pressure to ”have sth to show for” and getting the validation I guess that I’m good at sth. Of course this was more MY fault, why did I care so much what other people were saying.

On the other hand there was the online language learning community. I’m grateful so many people are passionate about languages and share their journey and resources, give advice so that beginners know where and how to start.

BUT there is a lot of pressure to improve as fast as possible and become excellent at your target language. Not to mention the HUGE focus put on speaking your TL which stressed the hack out of me. Speaking was never my number 1 priority but I went as far as to take private speaking lessons which I didn’t enjoy at all. No fault to the teacher though. I was just not feeling like this was my journey anymore or like I was learning the way I enjoyed it. Because I was desperately trying to have other people’s goals as my goals.

And on top of that I was drowning in the sea of resources and the ways on how i could take notes, learn vocabulary best and organize everything. I was impatient too, never finishing a resource I had started and jumping from one way of organizing notes to another. As a result, I felt overwhelmed and I had no real structure or plan.

To sum it up: I absorbed too much of other people’s dreams, aspirations and their ways of learning best. I forgot what my vision was. So there I was: stressed, fed up and ready to quit Korean for good. But the thought of quitting felt like I was about to rip sth valuable out of my life.

I then decided to take a 1-month-break to distance myself from it all. Distance to clear my head and to see if I would miss it. To find out wether I was only holding on to sth because i had been putting effort into it over the last 2,5 years or it was a hobby I genuinely wanted to continue.

In that 1-month-break I started to miss it. I realized the language was not the problem but the way I was going about it. The pressure I was putting on myself to be a perfect learner and having goals like speaking fluently and traveling extensively. I found my beginner’s motivation and excitement again. Setting my own personal goals: understanding lyrics of my fav songs, watching Korean movies and series with Korean subtitles or without, reading webtoons and books, understanding enough of my fav Korean podcasts.

I might not be the most admirable learner there is since I’m not traveling 14 hours to have chats with locals and not planing to move to Korea, not vlogging the adventures of diving head first into a new culture.

But I’m okay with that, I do what feels good to me or else there’s no reason to start or continue anything.

xoxo,

A.

protocols include HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP/IP, and others. Understanding data flow across networks facilitates vulnerability detection. Programming: It's crucial to know at least a little bit of a language like Python, JavaScript, or C++. Writing scripts and deciphering the code of pre-existing tools are made possible by having programming expertise.

2. Making Use of Internet Resources To learn more about ethical hacking, there are a ton of internet resources available. Here are a few of the top ones: Online Education: Online learning environments such as Pluralsight, Coursera, and Udemy provide in-depth instruction in ethical hacking. "Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking" on Pluralsight and "The Complete Ethical Hacking Course: Beginner to Advanced" on Udemy are two recommended courses. Channels on YouTube: HackerSploit, The Cyber Mentor, and LiveOverflow are just a few of the channels that offer helpful tutorials and walkthroughs on a variety of hacking tactics.

3. Exercising and Acquiring Knowledge The secret to being a skilled ethical hacker is experience. Here are some strategies to obtain practical experience:

Capture the Flag (CTF) Tournaments: Applying your abilities in CTF tournaments is a great idea. CTF challenges are available on websites like CTFtime and OverTheWire, with difficulty levels ranging from novice to expert. Virtual Labs: It is essential to set up your virtual lab environment. You can construct isolated environments to practice hacking without worrying about the law thanks to programs like VMware and VirtualBox. Bug Bounty Programs: Websites such as HackerOne and Bugcrowd link corporations seeking to find and address security holes in their systems with ethical hackers. Engaging in these initiatives can yield practical experience and financial benefits.

Dedication and ongoing education are necessary to learn ethical hacking. You can become a skilled ethical hacker by learning the fundamentals, using internet resources, and acquiring real-world experience. Always remember to hack wisely and ethically.

[xpc-web-dev]

Hi! I have just recently deciding to switch careers and leave the vet industry , go into tech. Have spent past 2 years in tech school to become a vet assistant but after being in my field, I always wondered how it would be like to have a career in tech, ive always thought for so long that being in tech comes w Math and science and i suck at both 🤣🤣🤣. so I’m deciding to enroll myself in a completely online program to become an IT tech yet i have always admired hacking and coding so without getting sooo much into it, which leads me to my question:

- what do I have to do to be in the code career?

- do I have to go to boot camp out of my state or should look into going online completely?

- is coding beginner friendly especially as someone who doesn’t have ABSOLUTE NO IDEA about coding?

Please let me know and I love that I have found a community of women jn the tech industry, it’s pretty inspiring which why I want to go into the tech career.

Hi Stone, first of all welcome to our small and growing community.

I'm glad you're giving yourself this chance to try technology and see if it's for you or go back to vet or even go to art(yes I stalked you UEUHEHUEHUE) and I also thank you for finding my opinion relevant.

As you said that you wanted a career and that you are interested in coding and hacking, here you need to choose which one to prioritize. Because whether back-end, front-end, mobile, fullstack or cybersecurity there will be a lot to study, practice, make mistakes and practice again.

Here I give an addendum that if you don't know what these areas mean in technology, I recommend doing a search, reading and watching videos on youtube about it to see what might please you.

So based on what you've told me, again I think the best first step is to know what you want to prioritize and what you want to make money from.

Because trust me, you won't be able to study everything together at the same time. And if you manage to find an hour, there will be a burnout, so take it easy my friend. (from personal experience)

Even more so if you want a job, it's best to focus on 1 and then move on to others. Then find out what might be best for you / what you most identify with.

I also like hacking, I have books and I have already found courses. But this is something I want to study as a hobby and a safety measure (after all, there's no shortage of motherfuckers doing shit with others with that knowledge). So I put it in the background. Because my priority is money and hacking has work, but not in my country.

Now about entering the code career. Despite being a junior/student, I've seen a lot and I've also learned in these 2 years in the technology community in my country and watching you from the outside, so I can have a more mature view to help you with that.

So let's go:

1) - To know what you need to do to enter your career in code, you need to know how the technology market is in your country.

Because with all these layoffs, we have a lot of professionals with experience and academically well qualified and depending on the country, we currently have more demand for professionals than job offers. (Here in Brazil this is happening, because the layoffs in North America reflected here).

And here I don't want to discourage you, I just want to give you a realistic parameter for you to enter the area without illusions and not get frustrated like me and a bunch of people on the internet. (I wish someone had guided me like that). Because what we have most on social media is people making it seem like programming is easy and getting a job is even easier, or that you're going to earn A LOT since you're just a junior and THAT'S NOT THE REALITY..

BUT all the effort pays off in the end.

Within that, here I think it's cool that you try to observe what vacancies in your country ask for juniors/interns.

From Skills like knowing python to asking college or accepting bootcamp. See what's most in demand out there and within that see if you like what's in demand.

I tell you this, because here in Brazil, for example, we currently have more vacancies for internships (and here you need to be enrolled in a college to do an internship) than for juniors without college and only with bootcamps. So if we want a job around here, the first thing is to go to college and not be completely self-taught. So again, research and study your country's technology market.

In my conception TODAY getting a job in programming without college will be 10x more difficult than in 2020 for example, things have changed. The market now is not lacking developers, quite the contrary, now it has hight demands from developers but not for JOBS.

What the market wants most are senior people (and I've seen seniors I know saying that after layoffs even for them it's more willing to get a job, again supply and demand), but there are still opportunities for us beginners, in some countries there are more and in others less.

Speaking in the sense of the United States from what I observed from the US (content producers and twitter) + my experiences here in Brazil.I don't know the current situation of the technology market in Africa, the rest of Latin America , Asia and Europe.

Of course, you can be lucky and succeed without , but I, for one, got tired of believing that I would be lucky and be one of those people who succeed and changed my strategy to get a job.

Or you could also join a job-guaranteed bootcamp. Check how it works and if you have this type in your country.

And here we come to your second question.

2) The answer is it depends.

For example, will this bootcamp in your state guarantee you a job or is it possible to do an internship at a company or will it connect you with companies after the program?Or is he recognized by technology companies in your state?

If so, I would recommend doing it and dedicating yourself to getting in.

Because look, if they guarantee you an job is even better , you'll just have to study and do what they tell you to get your job.

But if you don't guarantee it, but this training has merit/respect in the market, it also pays off.

Here, I wanted to take the opportunity and talk about apprenticeship.

In our community we have our queen @xiacodes @xiabablog (it's the same person), she did an apprenticeship and today she is a junior developer in UK .

She shared her journey on her blog and is also the most engaged and resource sharing person in our community.

Here I would like to say that FOR ME Apprenticeship is one of the smartest strategies today to get into the technology market.

I myself will start on a Monday and it was my solution to get a job in code by the end of the year. (I'll talk about this in another post too)

So I recommend looking for apprenticeship in your country / state and how they work there.

And obviously observe and read the rules of the program to see if there are any catches that put you in absurd debt or contractual fines.

And see if you can handle it if you have the possibility.

Here I give an addendum that if you find an apprenticeship but that you will earn little in the beginning, for you to analyze well before saying no. Because salary we can evolve after we have experience, the important thing for us juniors/students is to get the first experience and the rest later becomes easier. (At least that's what the Mid /seniors I know say)

Now if in your country you don't have this kind of opportunity, I would recommend trying to see if it would be possible to do bootcamp/online courses + college to get an internship.

And you don't even have to start with paid courses, in my opinion if the bootcamp won't guarantee you a job, it's not worth paying for it. We have a lot of free resources on the internt (youtube biggest school) .

But it's up to you.

Free Courses:

-Freecodecamp

-Odin project (And it has both fullstack with ruby ​​and with node.js. )

For me, paying will only pay off when you don't find quality resources for what you want to study. So I would advise you to always think about whether it pays off or not.

Accessible paid courses:

- Codecademy

- Udemy (there are good courses there and there are always promotions)

+++ Here I also wanted to talk about knowing that public colleges (100% free) are not possible in all countries or when they are, they are very elective and difficult to get into for poor people as it is here in Brazil.

But here despite that, studying A LOT to pass the exams and having worked to save money and support yourself until you get scholarships to support yourself (and if you do), you manage to get into the best colleges that are free and that is more viable than being poor and being able to pay for college in the US, for example.

So I know that it might not be very viable depending on where you live and whether or not you are a resident of the country.

So I don't know if college can be an affordable thing for you, but if not that you can find the best strategy to achieve your financial prosperity in technology!

But if you are from the United States for example, this week I discovered this spotify program: https://fellowship.spotify.com/

The one where they only hire people with bootcamps and not colleges and open in the summer there.

And despite the layoffs, I still think there are more entry level openings there than here HUEHUEEHEU.

3) What do you mean by friendly?

If you mean easy, no, she probably won't be friendly to you at all AND THAT'S OKAY.

As you yourself said that you know absolutely nothing, it will be natural for you to have difficulty, to think about giving up and to make a lot of mistakes to get it right.

It's going to be a process of failing and trying again and again.

NOTHING IS EASY. And since you've already taken a veterinary course, I think you already know that things are really difficult. So this is another reminder that it won't be any different here.

BUT it will end well because EVERYTHING IS LEARNED.

And that also goes for math, if you ever have to deal with it (and if you go to cs college you will) you will make a lot of mistakes, but you will succeed, because EVERYTHING IS LEARNED based on trial and error.

And that doesn't mean you're bad or stupid, just that you're learning something completely from scratch. It won't be overnight that you will understand, it may take months or years, but persisting you will succeed. THIS IS NORMAL.

I cried (literally) to do conditional algorithms in 2021, I banged my head in books, said I would never make it and felt like the biggest dumbass in the world and today 2023 are the easiest things for me. I have no problem making them.

And that was only possible because I didn't give up.

Here I wanted to advise you to start your programming studies with low expectations, to help you manage your frustrations and maybe burnouts. It won't be overnight that you will become the best programmer and do many projects at the level of a senior developer or the people who do tutorials on youtube.

They will be small steps that lead you to your goals in studies. Again, constants.

There are people who could get their ek code jobs in 3 to 6 months of study.

BUT FOR ME, currently having a plan to get an opportunity between 2 years and 4 years (if you actually go to college) study is the healthiest way to pursue your studies and goals. If you get it sooner, even better for you, but if not, you'll be fine with yourself because it's within the period you stipulated.

Finally, I ask you not to take anything I say as absolute truth.

Question what you read Take what I said, analyze it and see how it works in your reality.

I also recommend trying to find women in technology from your country on linkedin and see if they can help you with tips and so on. I feel very good knowing so many Brazilian women in tech since I did this, my network there is composed only of them precisely to create a place without judgment but of welcome and inspiration.

Well, I invested about 3 hours answering the best way I can, I hope you read it and that it helps you.

Anything, if you want to talk more, you can call me in the chat, I'll take a while but I'll answer.

I wish you good studies, discernment to see which is the best path for you and that you stay well! Lots of protection in studies and career.

Вы так классно рисуете *_* Можете дать пару советов новичку в рисовании?

Translation of the question: You draw so cool *_* Can you give a couple of tips to a beginner in drawing?

The translation of the answer will be further down for those who don't know the language :3

Спасибо большое за комплимент, очень приятно слышать.

Насчёт советов, что ж, думаю, бессмысленно говорить какие-то конкретные вещи по типу "рисуй глаза/рот/нос вот так". Также я не могу раскрыть каких-то лайфхаков, потому что имхо их не существует. Наращивание навыка рисования - это путь, который каждый проходит в полной мере, без лёгких дорог.

Однако могу дать общие советы о том, что помогает не выгореть.

1. Развивай критическое мышление.

Во время рисования важно задавать себе вопросы, зачастую "почему?" Почему рука так поворачивается? Почему складки расположены так, а не иначе?

Это поможет понять не только как изображать всякое, но и с чего вообще начать изучение. Зачастую новички не знают за что хвататься, чтобы начать учиться. Поиск ответа на собственные вопросы поможет сузить круг тем и структурировать обучение.

2. Рисуй в соответствии с тем, чем увлекаешься.

Рисование - это отдушина, медитация и способ выплеснуть свои чувства. Да, фактические знания, безусловно, важны, но в первую очередь необходимо наслаждаться процессом. Иначе можно выгореть, а также потерять живость картинки.

3. Если намерение научиться серьезное, с перспективой заниматься этим долго, то наставник не помешает.

Можно самому, конечно, искать информацию, но это сложно, если честно, потому что важно не только учить материал, но и практиковать его. А без взгляда со стороны понимать свои ошибки и исправлять их куда сложнее.

Thank you very much for the compliment, it's very nice to hear.

As for advice, well, I think it's pointless to say any specific things like "draw eyes/mouth/nose like this." Also, I can't reveal any life hacks, because imho they don't exist. Building up the drawing skill is a path that everyone goes through to the fullest, without easy roads.

However, I can give general advice about what helps not to burn out.

1. Develop critical thinking.

While drawing, it's important to ask yourself questions, often "why?" Why does the hand turn like that? Why are the folds arranged this way and not otherwise?

This will help you understand not only how to portray everything, but also where to start studying at all. Often beginners don't know what to grab to start learning. Finding answers to your own questions will help narrow down the range of topics and structure the training.

2. Draw according to what you are interested in.

Drawing is an outlet, meditation and a way to vent your feelings. Yes, actual knowledge is certainly important, but first of all you need to enjoy the process. Otherwise, you can burn out, as well as lose the vividness of the picture.

3. If the intention to learn is serious, with the prospect of doing it for a long time, then a mentor will not hurt.

Of course, you can search for information yourself, but it's difficult, to be honest, because it's important not only to learn the material, but also to practice it. And without a look from the outside, it is much more difficult to understand your mistakes and correct them.

6 Common Java Mistakes Beginners Should Avoid

Java is one of the most popular programming languages in India, especially for students preparing for tech jobs. From Android apps to backend systems, Java is used everywhere. But while learning it, beginners often fall into the same traps. These common Java mistakes can slow down progress and make concepts harder to understand later.

If you’re just starting your Java journey, avoiding these mistakes can help you:

Learn faster and more confidently

Write cleaner and more reliable code

Perform better in interviews and coding tests

In this blog, we’ll break down six common mistakes many beginners make while learning Java. Each section will explain what the mistake is, why it matters, and how to fix it with simple examples and tips. Whether you’re learning through classes, YouTube, or practice, this guide will keep you on the right path.

Let’s get started!

Mistake 1 – Skipping the Basics of Java Syntax

One of the most common Java mistakes students make is jumping into complex code before mastering the Java syntax basics. Java is strict with rules. Missing even a small detail can cause your entire program to fail.

Here are some common syntax errors beginners often make:

Missing semicolons at the end of statements

Forgetting opening { and closing } braces

Using incorrect variable names or Java keywords

Not matching parentheses in conditions or loops

Example:

public class HelloWorld public static void main(String[] args) System.out.println(“Hello, Java!”);

This code will throw an error because it’s missing {}, semicolons, and the structure is broken.

Tip: Always take time to understand how Java code is structured. Practice writing clean, small programs and review each line.

Also, if you’re planning to explore fields like ethical hacking or app security later, it’s important to build your coding fundamentals first. Syntax is the foundation of everything that comes next.

Mistake 2 – Not Understanding OOP Concepts

Another common Java mistake is ignoring the core idea that makes Java so powerful: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Java isn’t just about writing code. It’s about thinking in terms of objects and how they interact.

Many beginners try to learn Java without understanding basic OOP terms like:

Class – a blueprint or template (e.g., Car)

Object – a real-world example based on a class (e.g., your red Honda City)

Inheritance – sharing code from one class to another (like traits passed from parents to children)

Encapsulation – hiding details and showing only what’s needed

Polymorphism – same action, different forms (like sending a message in different apps)

Skipping OOP leads to confusion later, especially when you start building real projects.

Tip: Start small. Create a class and object for something simple like a student or book.

If you’re planning a career in cybersecurity, mastering Java OOP for beginners gives you a strong coding base. This is especially useful for backend logic and automation used in our Certified Ethical Hacking Course.

Mistake 3 – Writing Everything in the Main Method

One of the most common Java mistakes beginners make is putting all their code inside the public static void main(String[] args) method.

Yes, the main method is where Java starts running your code. But writing everything in it quickly becomes messy and confusing. Imagine trying to build a full application with hundreds of lines in one block, hard to manage, right?

Here’s why it’s a problem:

Code becomes harder to debug

Reusability is almost zero

You can’t grow your project efficiently

   What to do instead:

Break your code into small functions or methods

Group related actions together

Think in terms of Java modular programming

This habit will help you become a cleaner, smarter coder. It’s also important if you plan to work in areas like ethical hacking, where structured coding is a must. We explore this deeply in our C|EH v12 Ethical Hacker Course, where code clarity is critical for security tools.

Mistake 4 – Not Practicing Error Handling

Many Java beginners avoid using try-catch blocks because they don’t fully understand them. But skipping Java exception handling is a big mistake.

Why? Because real-world programs don’t always run perfectly. Errors happen. Users give wrong input, files go missing, and network calls fail. If you don’t plan for these issues, your app will crash.

Understanding how to catch and handle exceptions:

Makes your programs safer

Helps with debugging and problem-solving

Builds confidence as a developer

Here’s a simple example:

try { int result = 10 / 0; System.out.println(“Result: ” + result); } catch (ArithmeticException e) { System.out.println(“Error: Cannot divide by zero.”); }

Without the try-catch block, this program would crash. With it, the error is handled smoothly.

If you’re planning a career in cybersecurity or ethical hacking, handling exceptions is even more important. It is a skill we sharpen in our Bug Bounty Diploma program, where safe coding is key.

Mastering this early makes you a more confident and capable Java developer.

Mistake 5 – Avoiding Practice and Only Watching Videos

One of the most common mistakes Java learners make is spending hours watching tutorials but not writing any code themselves. Videos can explain concepts, but you won’t learn Java until you practice.

Learning programming is like learning to swim. You can watch a hundred videos on swimming, but unless you jump into the water, you won’t learn how to move.

If you avoid practice:

You will forget syntax quickly

You won’t learn how to fix errors

You will struggle to build real programs

Here’s what you should do instead:

After every topic, write two or three small programs on your own

Try solving basic problems on platforms like HackerRank or CodeChef

Start a mini project (like a calculator, student database, or quiz app)

Do not worry about perfect code. Just get started

This hands-on Java programming practice builds confidence and helps you remember better. The more you code, the easier it gets.

Even 30 minutes of practice every day can make a huge difference in your progress.

Mistake 6 – Not Using Comments and Code Formatting

Another common Java mistake beginners make is writing code that is hard to read. When your code looks messy, even you might not understand it later. Good formatting and comments make your work easier to review, debug, and improve.

Here’s what usually goes wrong:

No indentation or spacing between code blocks

Long methods with no comments

Confusing variable names like x1, temp, abc

Why code formatting and comments matter:

Helps others (and future you) understand your logic

Makes projects look professional

Reduces errors and improves debugging

Important in job interviews and coding tests

Tips to improve your Java code readability:

Use inline comments to explain tricky lines

Add a short comment before each method

Follow indentation (use tabs or spaces consistently)

Use meaningful variable names like totalMarks, userName

Leave a blank line between different code blocks

Following simple rules of formatting and writing helpful comments will take your Java code readability to the next level. This small habit builds good discipline for real-world programming.

Conclusion

Learning Java can be exciting, but beginners often make mistakes that slow down their progress. Let’s quickly recap the common Java mistakes for beginners:

Skipping basic syntax rules

Not understanding object-oriented concepts

Writing everything in the main method

Ignoring error handling

Watching videos without coding

Writing messy, unreadable code

If you’re just starting out, remember that Java is a skill you build step by step. It’s okay to take your time, make small mistakes, and learn through practice.

Here’s how to stay on track:

Practice coding daily, even if it’s just 30 minutes

Review your own code and fix small issues

Ask questions and learn from others

Focus on concepts, not just copying code
