Follow the Hard Way, Programming is not Easy

So a lot of people ask you if they can learn Java in two weeks and I am like are you really seriously asking that question. Learning and especially in programming is not a task you start and finish, it is a life-long obligation to becoming better and mastering the act of solving problems. So do we always know how to solve all the problems, well the answer is obvious.

So to anyone who wants to understand a certain framework or technology, I believe you should stop allocating time to learn and understand a certain thing. You can allocate time to understand the basics but never have in mind that after a certain time you stop learning. Programming is no joke, it is similar to marriage in that you just learn the basics before you start it, but once you start, you keep learning for all the days of your life.

So, it is important that you know that programming is not as easy as you see it in movies and even if you are able to master the basics in two weeks, it still requires a lot and lots of practice to become better at it. You do not become a champion overnight, you need to pay the price. Pay the price of lots and lots of practice, day after day. And for whatever you learn, try as much as possible to apply it to a certain problem around because a lot of people understand certain technologies, but our inability to show and apply what they have done almost makes them look as if they have no knowledge about the technology at all.

And lastly, stop jumping from one technology to another just become a certain blog said that the technology is the next best idea after slice bread. Take your time to research any new thing you want to work on so that you do not spend a lot of time on a lot of different things and cannot make a single program out of it.
