How to start Coding.
Many people have asked me the tricks to become a good coder and if there is a shortcut to become one. And I always tell the same answer, "If you want to be good at coding then keep practicing".
Focus on one language and make yourself an expert in that, there is no need to learn all the languages, knowing one language is enough. Choose the language that you are interested in and practice it. There are several programming languages available: JAVA , C++ , C , C#, PYTHON, RUBY etc. I suggest JAVA among others, because JAVA supports much more functions and libraries. It is easy to code and there are a lot of IDE's available for JAVA.
When you first start coding it might seem a bit difficult but trust me it is not at all that hard. Learning how to code is just like learning a new language like Japanese, you come across several new terms and things that are hard to remember but with time and practice it all comes to you.
All that matters is how dedicated one is towards learning. When you first start coding you will face a lot of problems, your programs will give errors, the output will not be as you expected and a lot of others. The best thing to do is to keep your expectations low and work hard. Solve all your errors by yourself, that is basically how one learns how to code. Being a coder does not mean writing a program without any errors in the first attempt, rather it means to be able to rectify all the errors encountered while running the code. I have seen many people getting frustrated when they get error in their code and then after sometime they just stop coding and say that coding is really hard. NO it is not hard, it just requires some more time and devotion towards it.
When I first started coding I faced a lot of difficulties. It was easy to write small programs like taking input and displaying output but after this when I started coding which actually matters, then I faced a lot of problems but I did not gave up and kept on practicing and improving my code for the best time complexity and space complexity. I have always been interested in coding, I started coding when I was in my secondary school, and till date I have learnt many programming languages.

When you learn one language then you will see that all other languages are the same with just a little difference in their implementation. Almost all the programming languages are the same, only some functions are different but they all work in the same way.
Key points for learning how to code -
- Choose a language you are interested in
- Practice that language
- Rectify all the errors yourself
- NEVER try to remember a code always learn by practicing
- Do not loose hope after a few failed codes
- Keep on taking new projects and solving new scenarios
- Discuss your codes with experts, and take their input
- Try to write optimal codes.

If you feel like you don't know what to code, then take on any random projects, "GitHub" is an online platform which provides a online platform for coders to create their own team and connect with coders all around the globe. Publish your code on site like these to get input from other coders on how to make it better. Always work on improving your code.
