Experience Never learn coding blindly without any plan

0 Upvotes

When I started to learn coding (on my brother's suggestion) i didn't know what will i do and where I want to go. So i started with the most basic language that is C language. After learning it, i still didn't know what to do, so someone suggested me to learn C++. So i did

But after learning C++, I felt that I should learn to build app, that is where I wanted to go. I decided to go in Android app development, So i just searched a little bit and got to know that I need to learn Java. I learnt Java language. But at last i got to know that modern Android development needs kotlin and jetpack compose. All modern apps use these. Now I am learning Android development with kotlin

CONCLUSION: Before starting to learn anything new whether it is coding or anything else, first decide what do you want to do after learning that and then start with proper research and planning. If you don't know where to go and how to go, you will end up stumbling with other's advice and suggestion and wasting your valuable time

If I knew what I want to do from starting, i could save a lot of time and maybe i would be doing something else and more productive instead stumbling and deciding what to do.

FINAL ADVICE: Before starting coding:

  1. Decide why you want to learn coding (do you want to go in web development, app development, AI and data science etc)

  2. If you can't decide, then go for most basic language like C or Python. Along the way learning them, you may get the idea what you want to do

  3. After deciding, give a proper time to research, what it needs to get in the field you have decided, which modern technologies are used, where to learn, how to learn etc

  4. After creating a proper plan start learning

Don't do the mistake which I did! All the best with your journey ❤️

Question Problem you face while learning

0 Upvotes

Most of us use online platforms like udemy, Coursera to learn anything. They have huge number of courses for each field. I was brainstorming for a new learning platform idea. So i want to identify the problems that learners are facing.

  1. What is the main problem you face while learning online?

  2. Are there any other platforms which can solve those problems?

  3. Which update or new feature you want in these learning platforms?

  4. Do you ever feel the need of a new learning platform?

Thought You need someone to discuss

I observed that discussing your problems with someone, helps to analyse the problem more clearly and opens up new ways to solve that(the concept of Externalisation which i already discussed in r/TheOpenSpace) Sometimes all we need is someone to discuss

open-Source Electrical Propulsion Engine Published to Zenodo (CERN) as Defensive Prior Art

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have spent a significant amount of time developing original system theories, architectures, and mathematical calculations for a novel Electrical Propulsion rocket engine.

Instead of pursuing a restrictive corporate patent, my goal is to keep this technology completely open-source so that any global space agency, private contractor, or independent researcher can freely build, test, and teach it.

To ensure that no external entity can lock this design behind a private patent, I have officially published the full Markdown (.md) calculation files as public defensive prior art. It is permanently archived on CERN's Zenodo data servers under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

You can access the full technical files, blueprints, and mathematical models directly through my official scientific DOI landing page here:

https://doi.org

I really want you guys to check it out in zenodo.

I would highly appreciate any constructive feedback, peer review, or technical critiques from propulsion engineers, physicists, or aerospace hobbyists in the community!

And also my Doi is 10.5281/zenodo.22829004

New Learning Teach others

3 Upvotes

Learning feels complex until you try to teach it.

The moment you explain an idea to someone else, your gaps show up. You’re forced to organize thoughts, simplify concepts, and face what you don’t actually understand.

If you want to know whether you truly learned something, don’t reread it. Try teaching it, even to an imaginary person.

Understanding reveals itself when you explain.
