I am guilty of most of these mistakes and some of these I did not realize I was still making! Thanks Mark!

if you can't think of a solution to a problem don't give up just take a break, go for some fresh air or some coffee, and then come back to it you have a higher chance of solving it at that time.

This is information I needed to hear, and relate to. For years I have been interested in coding, and web development. For years, and because of many of the mistakes previously mentioned, I have been spinning my wheels.

I'd add; jumping around. I've seen many new developers jump from one language to another, one IDE to another, one framework to another, without ever really mastering what they were using before. It's true that once you master one thing, it's easy to move to another. But first you need to master one thing first. I, myself, wasted a lot of time, trying to find the Perfect editor to use. But in the end it doesn't matter. the user doesn't care if you used VS Code or Vim. They don't care if you used ASP.NET or JavaScript. Pick something you like and get coding. If someone says, that real developers use X. Don't listen. Master what you like. Build that project. Once you get a solid base under you, switching because the company that is hiring (and paying) you is using a different Framework will be worth the time and effort to switch.

My mistakes would be learning in the wrong order and starting with the wrong coding language. I started out trying Java and javascript. I found Framework TV by searching for coding programs that could give me a starting point. Mark Lassoff's program has given me the correct starting point and confidence that I can do this.
Thank you Framework TV team👍

Like every other programmer, I've made my share of mistakes, once had a whole program hang because of missing punctuation.

My first program was a dialogue between the computer and the user sitting at the keyboard. It involved learning about the user, to better enhance this dialogue. It was really fun and involved a great deal of decisions. After completing the program, the instructor required us to flow the logic of our program. This was very difficult and I am not sure if I finished the task. The point to take away, is what has already be stated by Mark. Plan before you start coding. Use sudo code or flow diagrams, whatever will help ou with your logic. That way, when you write your code, you will have very little logical issue, and the code will be usable and reusable, time and again.

Watch out for the shinny pebble. Picking up an additional class, because it peaked your interest in an email, is always a distraction. And all too often the tool suite used by that instructor introduces more tools to learn, when you haven't begun to master the suite you're using now. Moving forward is always good, but making sure you're on a solid footing is necessary.

I've made EVERY one of the listed mistakes. I'd add in not finishing a course. I've started many "free" tutorials, and have not finished many of them.

The largest mistake I have made is not learning from professionals. It is easy to get wrapped up in learning from someone on youtube or wherever. You always wind-up not learning the best practices and chasing code down a rabbit trail. To correct this I have learned to background research to find out the competency of an instructor or an instructing body. I have found some great education on youtube but I am careful of what I do. When it comes to propelling your career forward make an investment in your education you'll thank yourself later.

Opening VIM, I got stuck in command line. It was scary. xD

Does FW offer training on how to learn to use GitHub?

GitLab is a great alternative to GitHub. Actually I have switched to GitHub one or two years ago because it provides private repo for free.

Not having the correct resources to identify worthwhile programming projects; identifying worthwhile problems to solve with programming.
