Truth be told, it’s hard to learn to code and take the right steps to succeed in the programming profession<\/a>. And getting a computer science degree won\u2019t make it any easier for you, because academic computer science is largely mathematics. While mathematics is important, it\u2019s not what you need in a real-world programming job.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, you\u2019re competing with over 18.2 million software developers worldwide<\/a>. You\u2019ve got to stand out and make yourself relevant, especially if you want to be the most sought-after developer.<\/p>\n

To help you learn how to stand out in the world of developers<\/a>, I\u2019m going to walk you through the strategies you\u2019ll need to make a difference in your career, and of course, be a financially successful software developer. These are basically strategies I\u2019ve practiced myself over the years, and I still do most of them. They have been a tremendous help to me in my programming career. I believe if you try them, they\u2019ll work for you as well.<\/p>\n

1. Learn beyond the classroom\"\"<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s fun learning to program with friends in classrooms. However, colleges don\u2019t really give you room to actually<\/em> code.<\/p>\n

Most schools teach you the programming languages you\u2019re not interested in\u2014I wanted a career in web development. However, I found out that even JavaScript was not in our curriculum. Instead, I was taught C language, which I wasn\u2019t interested in. And again, most of the languages being taught are outdated and are not used in a real-world programming job today (e.g., QBasic). So, at the end of the day, you might end up learning only the theoretical part of computer science and mathematics.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, colleges do teach you how to program in a very structured manner, which can be beneficial. But I haven\u2019t seen any professional programmers who become successful because of what they were taught in a classroom. In fact, you\u2019re mostly just fed with the basics of programming, data structures, and algorithms\u2014of course, it makes sense to know the basics, but it\u2019ll require more than that to really be successful.<\/p>\n

Wonder why 90 percent of software developers<\/a> are self-taught?<\/p>\n

\"strategy<\/p>\n

No wonder over 26.9 percent of developers consider formal education to be only somewhat important. For me, I\u2019m among those 11.5 percent that say it\u2019s \u201cnot at all important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"strategies<\/p>\n

To succeed as a software developer, you need to be a \u201clearnaholic.\u201d However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you need to be a bookworm\u2014but you can\u2019t be a college drop-out, either.<\/p>\n

You do need to scavenge information on your own, though, even while you\u2019re in college. You can start learning for free with codecademy<\/a> or access premium, high-quality courses on Pluralsight, Lynda<\/a>, or Udemy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are so many other online resources you can take advantage of, and depending on the technology you\u2019re excited about, you can get a book on it to start with. I definitely recommend \u201cCode Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction<\/a>\u201d by Steve McConnell to get a firm grasp of programming. It\u2019s a 900-page book packed with a lot of information you\u2019ll need, whether you\u2019re a beginner or a veteran software developer.<\/p>\n

And for programming language-specific books, I recommend \u201cJava How To Program<\/a>\u201d by Paul J. Deitel. It\u2019s one of the simplest to understand, and it walks you through everything from what a computer is to becoming good at Java and programming in general.<\/p>\n

I also love to listen to the conversation at the Programming Throwdown<\/a> podcast by Patrick Wheeler and Jason Gauci. They are more than inspiring; they\u2019re amazing guys. They interview great programmers on their shows and allow them to share best practices from a professional point of view, code reviews, workflow, and they discuss a lot about what\u2019s new in different programming languages.<\/p>\n

This article wouldn\u2019t be complete without a mention of FreeCodeCamp<\/a>. A lot of self-taught students have seen success with FreeCodeCamp. Although it takes time, it allows you to really learn to code well and gives you a lot of challenges you must complete before moving to the next level. Quincy Larson<\/a> and the FreeCodeCamp team members are doing a great job there\u2014they have one of the best resources to start and master programming on the platform.<\/p>\n

Want to make the learning processes easier with an appropriate road map from a professional? Check out 10 Steps To Learn Anything Quickly<\/a>; it\u2019s thorough and teaches all you need to know to move from a wannabe to an expert.<\/p>\n

2. Practice like hell<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re really serious about making a living with programming<\/a>, you definitely want to practice like hell. The best way to learn and master programming, and stand a chance of making a living from it, is to try doing little projects consistently and then up your game with bigger ones.<\/p>\n

Suppose you\u2019ve chosen the programming language you want to master. The next thing to do is start learning it, and in the process work on a lot of mini projects, such as Hangman games, Blackjack, or even a love calculator. You can find more than a thousand mini projects to try from this subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my beginner days, programming was hard for me<\/a>; however, I scaled through by practicing consistently.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t that great at grasping certain concepts easily. And considering that I have a functional programming background, it was a bit tough for me to wrap my head around object-oriented paradigms. With constant practice, I was able to do better.<\/p>\n

Keep practicing. Don\u2019t wait to get motivated\u2014force yourself to study and practice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing to know how to solve a problem in theory; it\u2019s another thing to really solve it with programming. Take on a lot of programming exercises<\/a>\u2014you can leverage hackathons to help you.<\/p>\n

3. Be passionate about creating solutions<\/h2>\n

Is programming really your thing<\/a>? You can hardly succeed in programming if you don\u2019t have a passion for it. If your only drive is to make money, you might not make it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll quickly give up, because it actually takes time to really master the programming skills that\u2019ll start generating the type of money you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

But being passionate will allow you to learn in-depth, because you want to know. Being passionate means you do programming work like it\u2019s a part of you, not some kind of punishment or tedious work.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re truly passionate about programming<\/a>, you\u2019ll be happy to know that you\u2019re making the world a better place by creating solutions that help humans solve their daily problems easily.<\/p>\n

4. Practice finding problems<\/h2>\n

One may think there are no more problems to be solved, with the myriad of apps on the market today solving diverse problems; however, that\u2019s completely wrong.<\/p>\n

There are so many problems that can be solved with programming\u2014you just need to look around. Be keen about studying people and businesses, and you might just discover a problem they\u2019re facing that you can actually help them solve.<\/p>\n

Use question and answer forums like Software Engineering Stack Exchange<\/a> and try to answer tough questions. Also, you should join programming challenges on platforms like CodeChef<\/a>, Topcoder<\/a>, Coderbyte<\/a>, Project Euler<\/a>, HackerRank<\/a>, CodeEval<\/a>, Codewars<\/a>, and LeetCode<\/a>. Taking challenges on these platforms allows you to train yourself and to improve your skills. And it also allows you to compete with other programmers from all countries<\/a>. Interestingly, you can win prizes at the end of some of the contests and get recognition as well.<\/p>\n

5. Solve a problem on paper or a whiteboard first<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Solving programming problems on paper first can help you to be flexible with iterations and be more relaxed. The easiest way to demystify a great idea without bothering about implementation too early is to use pen on paper or to use a whiteboard.<\/p>\n

Before solving any problem on your computer, write the algorithm on paper, make mistakes, cancel them out, and allow yourself to be creative.<\/p>\n

6. Don\u2019t rush to Google answers. Try hard to solve problems until you can\u2019t<\/h2>\n

Most programmers rush to Google anytime they get hooked with a programming problem. It makes sense to seek solutions when it\u2019s obvious you can\u2019t solve the problem.<\/p>\n

Try your best first. Maybe sparing a little time to think things through could be just what you need to solve the problem. Figuring problems out for yourself allows them to stick in your memory and allows you to gain the confidence that you can do it, which is very important.<\/p>\n

More so, if you do choose to use Google, you should learn how to use Google aggressively to search for the solutions you need quickly. You need to know how to phrase search queries, review what other people have discussed about the topic you\u2019re researching, and apply what you learn to the project at hand.<\/p>\n

7. Once you master solving simple problems, start tackling more complex problems<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s expected that as you consistently keep learning, you\u2019ll definitely grow. Don\u2019t stick to solving only simple problems\u2014move on to take the challenge of solving complex problems. Try your hand at making at least one Play War game.<\/p>\n

Also, take on a real-life problem<\/a> and create an app to solve the problem. When you go for a job interview, two of the important never-missed questions are, \u201cWhat have you built?\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s your Git repository?\u201d That means you should know how to use version control systems like GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can start by creating apps that already exist\u2014by the time you build well-made projects that already exist, you would have gotten enough experience to tackle any new projects you might want to build in the future. Maybe clone it and try to add all the features on your own. When you feel you\u2019re good enough, go ahead and work on your original ideas. Don\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

8. Solve problems in your head<\/h2>\n

Ideas come at surprising times in our lives, sometimes in excitement and sometimes during our quiet time. Always try to make some effort to solve the problems in your head first when they come up.<\/p>\n

Visualize the solution process in your mind before even writing it down on paper or on a whiteboard; thereafter, you can move to your computer to implement the process.<\/p>\n

So even if you\u2019re at the gym or in bed and an idea comes to you, create a mental picture of the execution process. I practice this anytime I get a new idea I\u2019m interested in implementing. This exercise is important, because it can help you to test different approaches to solving a problem and determine whether the resulting path will lead to a viable solution.<\/p>\n

9. Look at difficult problems (in math or real life) as opportunities to learn and grow<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still in college, take all your programming assignments seriously. Use Project Euler<\/a> to solve mathematical problems\u2014Project Euler is incredibly useful, as it contains challenging questions at different levels of difficulty, and you increase your skills while you solve them.<\/p>\n

To be honest, the projects on that site are tough, but they\u2019re interesting as well. Just remember, in programming you need to do hard things<\/a> now to make life easy for you tomorrow. Think through difficult life situations as well, and that can help you find ways to make apps that can make things easier. For example, it\u2019s hard for people to keep track of all their activities for the day, week, month, or year. You can create an app to help people set their weekly, daily, or monthly goals; organize their workflows; and have an alarm that reminds them at some point of their progress and their unachieved goals.<\/p>\n

Trying to implement the features in this app will allow you to learn a great deal. It\u2019s not going to be the world\u2019s best productivity app\u2014don\u2019t worry about that\u2014but you would have learned so much by the completion of the project.<\/p>\n

10. Get a mentor or join a coding bootcamp<\/h2>\n

Having a mentor will allow you to stand on the shoulders of software developers you admire, especially those with a lot of experience. They can make life a lot easier for you. You can use online tools like Codementor<\/a> to find mentors you might want to work with.<\/p>\n

Here is how to find a mentor: Find a programmer who\u2019s more experienced than you are and offer to help them. For example, here is how I connected with Kathie Kinde Clark<\/a>, Founder of Cleveland Startup Scene and Owner of Vociferous Marketing. I perused through her website and discovered that her lead copy was not strong enough to generate qualified leads.<\/p>\n

I quickly sent her a message on LinkedIn<\/a>, giving her suggestions on how she could improve on it. She thanked me, and from that point on, we\u2019ve had a wonderful friend-mentor relationship.<\/p>\n

Another way to find your mentor is to meet them through programming Meetups. If you know the Meetups they usually attend, join the group and connect with them from there.<\/p>\n

While programming bootcamps are often very expensive, it\u2019s actually worth it if you need to learn anything fast. Holberton School<\/a> is free to get started and according to them, they succeed when you succeed. So you have to pay your tuition fee only when you graduate and get a job.<\/p>\n

With coding schools, like General Assembly<\/a>, Hack Reactor<\/a>, and App Academy<\/a>, you gain a level of prestige that many firms recognize and respect, making it much easier to land a job.<\/p>\n

Bonus Point<\/span>: Be focused:<\/strong> Don\u2019t be a generic generalistic programmer\u2014with that attitude, you\u2019ll still call yourself a beginner even in the next five years. So, it goes without saying that you must pick a coding niche, focus on it<\/a>, and be consistent. For example, you can choose to be a front-end developer, a back-end developer, a mobile app developer, or even a desktop app developer. Whatever you choose, focus on it and be good at it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a companion to walk the walk to becoming a successful software developer. The Complete Software Developer\u2019s Career Guide<\/a> is a success-guaranteeing guide every developer should have in their library. It erases the lies you\u2019ve learned over the years about how to become a successful software developer. I personally love the part that teaches how to get a job without experience. Want to become a highly paid software developer? This book will be extremely helpful.<\/p>\n

Never stop learning<\/h2>\n

The journey to becoming a successful software developer seems overwhelming, right? I agree with you.<\/p>\n

However, if you want your life to be easy, do what is hard\u2014if you want it to be hard, do what is easy. It\u2019s going to take a while and it\u2019s okay if it does. Success is not handed to you on a platter of gold. You\u2019ve gotta fight your way through.<\/p>\n

Be diligent, practice diligently (be in KaiZen<\/a>), and be passionate about your work. You\u2019ll most likely see success if you put these strategies into practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
