University to job-ready

Stage 1 · Lesson 2 of 5

Coding every day, even for 45 minutes

Foundations sprint

A six-week sprint works only if you code every day. of 45 minutes beats one five-hour weekend session. The work stays fresh in your head, so you never lose time working out where you were.

Fix a time, such as straight after your last lecture. Decide the night before what you will work on, so the session starts with code rather than with choosing. Tell one friend your deadline so someone checks on you.

Common trapletting assignments and exams push the habit out for "just this week": a missed week in a six-week plan is a sixth of it gone.

A question to check yourself, an AI practice session and 1 cheat sheet entry come with the full roadmap. Unlock
