- Don't be afraid to reach out to other professionals or to the community at large. Someone is always willing to teach!
- Don't be afraid to ask for help or help people back.
- Practice, practice, practice. Just reading won't do anything.
- Stick with one language--learning multiple languages in the beginning can be confusing.
- Google is your best friend.
- Be careful with copy and pasting code---always make sure you understand it. Don't study the solution.
- Read/learn to read the documentation. It's hard and frustrating, just like learning any other new skill.
- Failing a lot is completely normal. Coding is an unending parade of error messages--as long as you're getting a new error, you're making progress.
- Stay small---focus on the next possible thing to do.
Code Chrysalis is a coding school based in Tokyo with the only advanced full-stack software engineering immersive bootcamp in Asia.
In addition, we have two part-time programs---an introduction to coding course and an English communication course.
We believe we are creating and leading the third wave of coding bootcamps by preparing our students for engineering leadership.
We put on free workshops and events for the community, so please support us by following us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter!
