Stage 1 · Lesson 2 of 7
A weekly coding habit
You get better at programming through regular practice, not long sessions the night before an exam. Block about five hours a week in your timetable, for example two weekday evenings and one weekend morning. Use those hours to write code that no course asked for.
Finish something small each week, even a 50-line script, and push it to (the website where programmers keep their code) so you can see your streak grow. matters more than the amount. A student who codes three times a week for two years is far ahead of one who crams for a month.
Common trapspending the slot watching tutorials. It feels productive, but it builds very little.
