Why am i not good at programming after learning for 2 years?

Asked 262 views3 answers

I've been into programming for 2 years now and literally, i see no improvement in myself. What am i doing wrong?

I've seen people become literal professionals in under 1 year, and i can't do anything in 2. Don't get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE programming, but the fact that i cannot get any better, it messes with my brain.

I've been honestly trying hard for 2 years and i still cannot progress from being an absolute beginner.

If anyone knows what i might be doing wrong, please tell me because i am utterly tired of trying so long and have no improvements whatsoever

Hiya,

I learned luau by lots and lots and lots.. and lots of practice.

take for example;

  • Looking over the Developer Hub to get more context as to what a property affects, or what the CFrame.new() function does (not limited to just CFrame.new()!!)
  • Challenging myself by trying things I never tried before (I wasn't good at CFrames and Vectors before this year ????).
  • Trying to replicate other people's works to attempt to figure out how they worked was a big help.

Another big source for when I was just a beginner was AlvinBlox and his older tutorials, I found them very informative and helpful, as well as sites such as scripting helpers for posting for help as to why my code doesn't work to hopefully get an answer!

Hopefully this post helps you learn more about learning programming, and you're never bad at something until you've tried everything it has to offer!

Good luck in your programming adventures!

Useful links mentioned:

ps. the professionals that have only a years worth of experience probably have some more programming knowledge in different languages, or their just really fast learners unlike me haha

Try to analyze your code line by line to understand how it works. Learn some advanced features like Raycasting or pathfinding. If you don't know how to solve the problem don't spend 2 hours trying to fix it. Look for roblox dev sites like this. And most important is to practice.

I prefer watching DevKing tutorials.

  • Watch CyberCreator on youtube, along with his scripting tutorial playlist.
  • Experiment with the code you learn and find out what works, and what doesn't. Learn limitations, so you can break them later on.
  • Compare yourself to nobody BUT yourself.
  • Don't just watch thedevking's tutorials, try watching other people, find out what's best for you to understand (and don't just get lazy and copy scripts).
  • Devforum.
  • And a lot more info you can find by yourself!

It's up to personal preference, so good luck.
