【☆】 Coding Study Tips

Some study info + tips on cramming coding/programming concepts~!

[tiny-corner]

Today I went to our office for my on-the-job student internship at a startup company around makati. I really adore the towering skyscrapers around Makati and the busy streets. I find a sense of tranquility amidst progressive cities of the metro.

Recently I've been really studying the implementation of vue js 3 onto laravel web framework.

Here's what I think of it:

Vue js is kind of like a story within a story iykwim?

So you have your Laravel framework that contains your blade for the frontend of your project. And within that one blade file you have your vue split into components. That one blade file sorta compiles all of your vue components into one.

So... in a way its kinda like a story within a story to me. Hahaha

Thats all !

「花見」

One of my admitted patients gifted me a dragonfruit--one of my most favorite fruits. He is on his 7th day of admission and has vastly improved after presenting with unilateral weakness from brain metastasis from lung cancer.

The next patient I visited was admitted for abdominal pain. We are on 4th line of treatment and still progressing from ovarian ca. I gave the same dragonfruit to my patient and she was all smiles.

Paying it forward on the last month of love.

Random Study Tips

Don't study for too long if you are not enjoying it.

Take short breaks after 20-30 minutes.

Don't study in the living room, bedroom, etc.

Study in a separate place dedicated to studying.

Don't try to memorize without understanding. Try to understand the concept first.

Don't always study alone. Studying in groups helps a lot.

Don't highlight text blindly. Highlighting doesn't help that much. It only indicates Recognization not Recollection of the topic.

Always take notes. Reviewing the notes after a short time helps a lot.

Always try to teach others what you have learned.

Teaching is the best way of learning. Teach your parents, siblings, friends or even a rubber duck (programmers will know the rubber duck method).

Sleep is so much important for pushing something into your long-term memory. Get at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep.

Try to use the SQ3R (survey, question, recite, read, review) method while studying.

Use Mnemonics. It's the best way to memorize facts.

How to improve your programming skills?

It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or a professional programmer; when it comes to improving a skill every advise should be taken into account. So I want to share some tips on how to improve your coding skills. Of course there are more tips there that can be useful as well, but I’m going to quickly write about the ones I usually follow.

Challenge yourself daily

This one is key; one of the most successful ways to improve coding is to spend time resolving some coding challenges. There are lots of cool websites that provides lots of programming exercises, but the ones I know and I’ve been using are:

Hackerrank

Codewars

LeetCode

I want to include two more since I am looking forward to try them, they seem to be a lot of fun.

CodinGame

CodeChef

Know your code

Explain your code! It’s important to know what your code does but it is most to know how to explain effectively. You can take courses, read books (there are plenty of free books) or forums.

Share your knowledge (and ask questions!)

Don’t be shy. If you want to learn, you have to share your projects, chunks of your code, whatever. But try to get feedback from other developers, it doesn’t matter if they are your best friend or a complete stranger, whether they are beginners or pros. It’s important to embrace criticism as a good way to learn.

Start your own project from scratch

It’s time to get your hands dirty! I’m not saying that every developer should be working on a side project, but it is one of the greatest ways to improve. Not only do you start a real project that you can show in a portfolio to potential employers but challenge yourself on a daily basis as well.

It doesn’t have to be a revolutionary app or website, the most important aspect is learning as much about the target technologies.

Contribute to real projects

If you can’t come up with an idea, you can find open source projects. This way you can learn from others as well, and other of the most important skills: teamwork. Also it is a great method to read code from other developers.
