How do I get experience programming?

I've recently switched majors to Operations, Management, Information Systems at my university which involves programming. I have a little background programming knowledge but don't know how to make it a bigger part of my life. Other than the classes I'll be taking, what can I do to get a better understanding of what programming is and how to do it?

Peter’s Answer

programming is about solving problems with the tools you have. In your case, there must be a number of problems that you want to tackle. for example, you have a lot of data collected in your operational field, now, how to collect and analyze them. I transformed a lot data into a csv file and load them into a graph database and analyse the relationship between the fields. I used python and awk to transform the data to csv, I used python/powershell to load them into the database. graph tool to display the relationships .... it may take longer to do it the 1st time, however, if you have to repeat it more than once, the payoff is there.

hope that help

Jonathan’s Answer

You get experience by getting experience. 😊


It sounds a little overly simplified, but it really is that easy. Just start making things. A great way to get practical experience and invest into something worthwhile is to search out an open source project you are interested in and start contributing.


Good luck!
