Is it really possible to become a good dev with only sololearning ?
I'm a student that already destroy my dev teacher(bad school, no money) so I'm trying to improve myself, but i cannot see the result.. :(

Try a lower level language like c++/c.
Maybe even ASM. (ASM is bae)

Understanding memory management will help you quite a bit.

To answer your question yes.

Yes! You can learn on your own. Definitely.

When I started in the early 80's, solo learning was the only realistic option. Some notable examples of mainly self taught people are Steve Wozniak and Bill Gates.

My school never taught the languages and concepts that I wanted to learn.

I was mostly web driven and so I started going through PHP docs and trying different things out. I consider myself mostly self taught and it's helped me get ahead with my uni work.

I found that making tools and apps, then remaking them over and over, improving with each iteration as I learnt, really helped.

Set goals. Try to o something you have not done before and you will learn in the process.

There is plenty of information in the web you just have to find it and having a goal helps formulate questions and to keep focus until you make it.

I am mostly self learned but occasionally I have a colleague that can help out

But I built my first interpreted language on my own and are looking into cross compiling it to javascript and possibly to IL assembly (.NET)

Thanks a lot all :) so i'll learn a low level language (i already know C) and continue tryharding my own projects :)

Keep going man, study hard and you will achieve what you want.

I grew up poor as shit (basically did odd jobs so that I could eat like twice a week), but somehow made it.

Stepping stones, take your dream a step at a time. Believe in yourself, and prove everyone wrong whoever doubted you.

@ragnarr023
Not really the same situation but i paid my study by doing shitty works during a while.. Now i need several knowledge that are really hard to find on the internet you know ? I'm the only dev in my firm, everytime i rewrite my code with no one to look at my and yell « this is bullshit »

@RexOmni c++ is low level? :0

@jakobev compared to most nowadays, yes. I hate working with the bloat of c# etc.

@Jakuho maybe follow some univ syllabus and study on your own accordingly!

I'm in a big company and ironically I have to do self-learning all the time.

You can't avoid it.

@Jakuho Now days to be a good dev you also need great social skills and ability to work in team. Technical aspects of programming you can learn alone but it is not the fastest way.
