Description
What is the best way to learn a new skill (or improve a current one)?a) Read a lot of books
b) Think about it a lot
c) Jump in and do it.
If you guessed "Jump in and do it", you'd be correct!
While spending time understanding theory is important for learning a skill; getting your hands dirty, practicing, and immersing yourself in the thing you're learning will yield much better results.
Want to learn a new language? Speak it.
Want to learn how to play a game? Play it.
Want to learn a sport? Practice it.
Want to learn to be funny? Tell jokes. (I can tell you from experience that, by using this method, my success rate has improved my humour! Now I only bomb a joke 8 times out of 10...)
Want to learn how to code? Start building things. A lot of things.
Here's the catch...
If you have no direction, no roadmap, no end-goal in mind, and nobody to hold you accountable, the best case scenario is you'll incrementally improve your ability, and worst case scenario is you'll fail.
Which is why I created this course, CSS in 30 Days!
