I am new to programming, I intend to get an entry level job programming next
year (or a little bit longer). I am switching fields and not going to college,
but kinda "self teaching" myself through various methods. I currently
understand
concepts in programming in python up to classes (like I understand how to make
objects, I understand inheritance, etc...), and I have experimented with
building guis in Tkinter, but I'm finding that I understand concepts, but have
no real way to implement them.
So now my problem emerges... can anyone give me suggestions of exercises I
should do to help improve my knowledge of what I can "actually" do with the
concepts I have.
My main goal is to get to the point where I can assist in fixing bugs in open
source programs (I'll be learning C++ in a couple months as well), but when I
look at bugs / source code of larger programs, I am just so blown away at how
little I understand. So I need to find a way to bridge the gap between my
current level and the level needed to contribute to open source programs. A
lofty goal I understand, but it is my goal. And I am very dedicated to reaching
it.
Anyways, given my situation, do you good people have any suggestions for me. I
don't need a person walking me through it, a simple, "build a program that asks
a user to give you a name and create permutations of it" is great. Of course
that example is elementary, but that is the gist of the responses I'm looking
for. I just have no idea of what kind of programs to build, my ignorance is
holding me back in my opinion.
Any response is welcomed, but I do ask if you are critical of me, please offer
a
method for me to improve the deficiency / deficiencies I have. Thank you so
much for reading my inquiry :)
What is it about you... that intrigues me so?
