Unlock Your Coding Potential: Why Tutorials Fail New Developers
Written on
Chapter 1: The Challenge of Learning Online
Online tutorials have become a popular resource for developers looking to enhance their skills. However, how many times have you found yourself confused after investing hours into a tutorial, feeling as though you’re missing vital information? If this resonates with you, rest assured you are not alone.
An often-overlooked truth in our field is that many online tutorials are not designed for beginners.
The Unpopular Truth
Here’s a rather unpopular viewpoint: the majority of FREE online tutorials are not tailored for novice developers. This is a hard truth that many of us have faced. If you're entering these tutorials without sufficient background knowledge, you might end up with more questions than answers, which can be discouraging and a significant drain on your time.
The Shortcomings of Conventional Tutorials
Having authored nearly 400 articles on this platform alone, I recognize the typical structure of traditional tutorials and why they frequently miss the mark. The fact is, it’s impossible to condense all essential information into a single article without overwhelming the reader. While these tutorials have their place, they tend to cater more to seasoned developers who seek rapid solutions to specific queries.
The Missing Link
So, what’s the way forward? How can aspiring developers close the gap between their current skills and becoming proficient programmers? The solution lies in a fresh approach that offers thorough guidance, practical application, and the chance to create a portfolio of projects that genuinely highlight your abilities.
