How do I learn programming?

2 pointsby shivajikobardanabout 2 years ago
For eg: Currently I am trying to learn bash shell scripting, text processing using bash etc. But the problem is I don&#x27;t think I can learn it. Why? Because I don&#x27;t know programming. In particular, problem solving. I don&#x27;t know problem solving at all. I try my best but I fail. In the past, I tried learning MERN web development for around 1 year but failed to do so.<p>So, I am wondering how do I learn programming? Particularly, bash shell scripting. I don&#x27;t need roadmap but way to learn problem solving.

Bash is a good gateway to coding. There’s a good free Bash course on Youtube where I learned the ropes.<p>I’d look into Python as a next step.<p>You can get cheap but good courses on Udemy as well.<p>Oh and ChatGPT can explain things to you too

You have to be able to visualize the end product. Otherwise you have no direction and are just aimlessly poking around.
