#Spring25 How do I get better at coding?
#Spring25
I don't want to take college classes in it, I just want to learn it on the side of my current schedule. I want to either learn more about AI or website making.

Hello Catherine!
The first thing you can do to get better at coding is to code every day. Whenever you study a new programming concept, try to create a few related programs. You can Google coding questions or even ask ChatGPT to generate some questions for you. In the beginning, you can solve common math coding problems like checking if a number is even, printing the Fibonacci series, or even reversing a number. It will strengthen your core programming concepts like loops and conditionals.
And once you grasp the fundamentals, start building real projects. You can also check out other people's code on GitHub. Read their code like you would read a book and try to understand what every line is doing. I would say, don’t try to memorize code, understand it.
Also, there are many coding challenge websites out there like LeetCode, HackerRank, and Codewars. You can find a lot of problems there that will really help you build a deeper skill set in programming.
And whenever you get stuck, learn to Google properly. Find the documentation and look for solutions online, because chances are, someone else has already faced the same issue.
Lastly, don't forget to keep updating yourself with the latest language features, frameworks, and tools so you stay sharp and ahead.
Hope that helps!
