5 Steps To Improve Programming Skills

5 Steps To Improve Programming Skills

Hello Programmer,

Today I will share the golden rule with you how to improve programming skills.

We all learn programming language with some goals, someone wants to land their dream job someone wants to convert there dream into reality.

But when it is possible? When you have strong programming skills.

We all know that language is total depend on syntax. When you know the complete or proper syntax of any language then you implement that syntax and make a sentence or communicate with others easily.

Let's take an example, How you communicate with others in your life. Of course with the help of any language and now what is language. Language is a collection of valid syntax and rule. Like this programming language is also a language which helps us to communicate with the computer so firstly we must know all syntax and rule of programming language.

Every language has there owned syntax and rule so firstly we should learn all syntax properly.

Now we discuss 5 Steps To Improve Programming Skills. 

1) Algorithm and Data Structure:

The first step to improve programming skills is to learn or implement an algorithm and data structure. If you know all the syntax of any language you think you know programming language very well but that's not the case. Let's Take an example, If I give you array and I tell you to sort this array in ascending order now what will you do?. Firstly you will think which sorting algorithm is best for this problem and then you will apply that algorithm on the given problem and then you get your solution.

If you don't know the algorithm you can't solve this type of problem and if you don't solve this type of problem you will not be a good programmer.

You don't know data structure and algorithm is always used in your program even if you try to solve the addition of two number that time algorithm is also used. 

So Algorithm and Data Structure is first stepped to improve programming skills.

2) Read Others Code:

Now we assume that you know the algorithm and you are able to solve any given problem. Suppose you code any problem and your code give you the correct output now does it is right? Maybe it is right because it giving correct output but according to some factor your code may not be right. Suppose your code has more time complexity and space complexity then it is not right according to these factors.

That code is good code which has less time complexity and space complexity. You build a habit to read others code and understand their code.

There is many of a website where you can read others code and enhance your skills. Example:- Github.

3) Competitive Programming:

This third step is more effective and important part to improve programming skills and this is competitive programming. If you are in college you must part in a programming competition which will helps you to improve your programming skills because in the competition you will face many types of problem which will sharpen your skills.

There are many websites where you do competitive programming and take part in a live contest. In these websites, you will find all type of questions where you can solve these questions and improve your programming skills.

These competitive programmings teach you how to code, how to code efficiently, how to debug code.

Example of Competitive Programming Website: 

1. HackerEarth
2. HackerRank
3. LeetCode

4) Explore more Languages:

Guys don't stick with one language. We all love one programming language like some love java, some love c, some love Python but we should explore more languages because more you explore more you learn. Don't stick with one language your language might be best but all other languages have some good things and some bad things. when you learn other languages it will teach you another way to code.

So explore more language and improve your programming skills.

5) Build Project:

This step is extremely important to improve programming skills Build a project. when you build a project you face some challenges and these challenges help you to improve programming skills. knowing any language is not only enough till you not implement your knowledge into the project. 

Try to build multiple projects or try to make project which helps people in real life. Whenever you build any project you will know many things and these things help you to improve your programming skills.

If you are confusing about how to choose a project idea. You should try to build a project related to your interest. Example, if you are a Gym lover you must build a project related to health.

Sharing is Caring, Share it with others...
