    You do not have to be advanced to begin with. Just pick a package you want to contribute to, go through bug reports, pick the one you think you might be able to fix and try doing that. I think that most important thing to know before beginning is git. You will gain your programming skills…

  2. Recommendsheyhenir/learnprogramming2023in “I spent 7 hours building a website and everything gone”

    Take the Codecademy Git Course. Git is like making a save game of your code. And it let's others view what progress and changes you've made. If you're using VS Code code editor, it's built in. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview Source Control with Git in Visual Studio Code

  3. Recommendsbillyboem5r/learnprogramming2017in “Help with basic git”

    I recommend you to do a Git course on codecademy. You can find it here: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git Also I like to review the changes and compare the changes in a online environment because they have a clearer user interface, in my opinion. Let's say you put your repository online…

  4. Recommendsderezzedmindr/learnprogramming2016in “Self taught front end devs... When did you know that you were "Job ready"?”

    I would recommend going through the HTML and CSS course on Code Academy first. It's free, first of all. It also helped me build a pretty strong foundation of the languages first. Udacity Nanodegrees charge by the month so it helped that what I learned from Code Academy allowed me to fly through…

  5. Recommendsmkonryanr/learnprogramming2016in “Should beginners store their code in Github?”

    It can't hurt. And learning to use it seems like a necessary evil these days. ...it's about as intuitive as a brick though. (Forewarned) Might want to check out the Codecademy course on Git first....it answered a lot of questions. Github isn't super hard, but it's a lot more confusing then it…

  6. Mentionsvishal735r/learnprogramming2020in “How are you supposed to have experience with Git when you’re a recent grad and never completed a project within a team?”▲ 1

    I was doing this in morning Check out the Collaborative Coding with GitHub path at Pluralsight "GitHub: Getting Started" https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/ff40abd2-2630-4c30-b1c0-d9f6498bb5fc https://progate.com/languages/git https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git

  7. Mentionsjakeydoodle123r/learnprogramming2019in “How can I learn programming on paper?”▲ 4

    Well, not on paper but I would recommend codecademy they have a really good python course and other things like git and bash. Edit. Or something like freecode camp, I haven't personally used those but I've heard nothing but good things.

  8. MentionsRIPdigr/learnprogramming2016in “Any resources to quickly learn Git and GitHub?”

    Here is a class from Udacity: https://www.udacity.com/courses/ud775 And another one from Codeacademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git The codacdemy class is super short but it is just focused on git and not gitHUB. The Udacity class will take much longer to complete but I feel like it…

  9. MentionsMetalorr/learnprogramming2015in “Can anyone tell me, in plain English, how to use Git (in the most common cases)”

    Once you start using Git, you'll wonder how you ever worked without it. Maybe take a look at some of the video lectures on Udemy? https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?q=git&src=ukw&lang=en&sort=price-low-to-high As 2Punx2Furious suggested, Codeacedemy also have a new course on Git…
