Im currently a student in the US studying for my CS degree. I am kind of new to programming and after talking to my Professors, they said the best way to get better at coding is by practicing. Anyone have any good ways of practicing? I code in mostly Java, Python, and Javascript. Thank you!

    1. Take a crashcourse (which you seem to have already)
    2. Start an ambitious project
    3. Google everything you don't know
    4. Repeat 2 and 3

    Why not create a website for yourself/your hobby/an organisation you're part of? JS in the frontend, Java or Python in the backend.

    Otherwise if you're more interested in algorithm, checkout codewars.com

    @Wack There's Java Webbackend? Sounds like a nightmare to me. The closest I'd know is Java EE, which is a pretty big step from Java SE.
    Flask (Python Webbackend) is great tho.

    @gathurian there are multiple (although I've never used one myself). I heard a few times about Spring.

    Think if someone you can do with what you know, and do it. Whenever you come into a problem, just Google, or read the documentation. It's simple, really. No need for something flashy, just something you think you can do. And set the bar higher every time you start something new.

    So what Im getting from this is that google is one of the best tools when learning languages?

    @DeepHotel Yup. Remember: It's not about how much you know, it's about how well you are at finding what you need

    Besides writing code READ code. Think of authors they don’t just read their own books they read a lot as well.

    If you don’t already get a github account and look at the millions of repos.

    After you submit your own answer you get to look at how other people solved it
