Start with the basics of programming: variables, loops, conditionals, and syntax. Focus on understanding how logic works and how to write clean, readable code.
Practice simple coding problems daily. Platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codeforces (easy section) can help improve logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Get comfortable with IDEs like VS Code or PyCharm. Learn how to use compilers, debuggers, and version control (Git & GitHub) to organize your work efficiently.
Build simple projects such as a calculator, a to-do list, or a number guessing game. These will help you gain confidence and apply what you learn.
Get familiar with arrays, strings, and linked lists. Start with simple operations like searching and sorting. These are the building blocks for more complex topics.
Practice coding for at least 30 minutes a day. Regular consistency is more important than speed. Focus on improving step by step.
