Ask HN: Projects one can build to get better at programming as a beginner?

4 pointsby noob_engalmost 2 years ago
Is there a list of projects or the like that beginning programmers can build to get better at their favorite programming language?<p>Also if there are repos, tutorials, walkthroughs you want to mention?

Here is the prose your question motivated me to write.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benrudgers.posthaven.com&#x2F;remarks-re-ideal-project-for-beginning-programmer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benrudgers.posthaven.com&#x2F;remarks-re-ideal-project-fo...</a><p>Basicially, choice of project is the least important aspect of learning anything. When you are seriously learning you won&#x27;t have the technical experience necessary to make a well informed choice.<p>Time spent doing something is valuable. Time spent choosing what to do is not.<p>Good luck.

The standard answer is:<p><pre><code> - Hello World - Calculator (add&#x2F;subtract&#x2F;multiply&#x2F;divide) - Todo List (create&#x2F;delete todo items, mark them as done, view completed and current) - Blog (user facing blog posts, a place to sign in and create&#x2F;edit&#x2F;delete posts) - Forum (user account handling, posting, moderation, etc) </code></pre> The most gain of knowledge will come from just building the core functionality, but they quickly can become fun to tweak in small ways to add features

Rudimentary versions of many common software products or utilities, like a text editor, word processor, database server , email client, FTP client, etc.
