My journey from graduate to Python Developer and mistakes I made in the same


Let's Get Started...

                                                                                                                              

     What you should expect from this blog...

    Mistakes that are made by me throughout the course of Computer Engineering.

    • How I should avoid those mistakes with appropriate decisions.
    • Why I chose python as my primary software developer tool.
    • How did I learn my first programming language?
    • Top myths about Python programming language.
    • How I got my first job?

    Note: This blog going to be big, I divided it into different parts, In this blog, I only shared what are the mistakes made by me and how you should avoid them. so in this blog 1st, one of those above bullet points is going to be covered 


    Mistakes that are made by me throughout the course of engineering and the cost I paid for that.



    1. My first and big mistake about my computer engineering that cost  1.5 years of waste of valuable time. When I already know that I'm gonna take my admission in computer engineering, then I should spend some time before/after taking admission on topics related to as follows:
      • What is computer engineering?
      • What are the possible career paths in the same?
      • What should be learned first to achieve those career goals?
      • How to manage time between academics and my career goals? 
              I hope if the current reader of this blog just started his/her journey in computer Engg/science. Then you can ask the above questions to google for more help :)

          2. Not managed to take at least a decent laptop/computer at the end of half sem. :(
                I know some of you have poor financial conditions, but you should aware that you're in a computer engineering course. you should at least see some youtube tutorials of computing so that later you can perform the same in college practicals if you're unable to manage to get a decent laptop/computer.
    It will cost you scary confusing things that you're about to face after some time.

          3. Not practicing if things are hard to grasp...
            "Life has no limitations except the ones you make."
                --Les brown
            If things are hard, try to make them easier for instance say you have a topic that was hard to understand, then don't put a limit to your ability by sitting quiet doing nothing, try to search that in another platform maybe you can find the one that matches your ability, and you can now grasp the thing very easily.

          4. Losing confidence when you see your academic scores.
            Don't compare scores with your friends, maybe you are not so expressive in writing answers in papers but you know things practically very well. so don't lose your confidence try to grasp the concept practically.
            Numbers can't decide your ability, but the knowledge/code does. ;)


          5. Taking coding/Programming lightly...
                Note this Programming is like a gym, if you do it daily then only you see the final result.
                I made the mistake after learning how to code, and not practicing it daily.
                Today  I'm late in achieving my first job, just because of this mistake.
            I repeat again programming is like a gym, you have to practice it daily to achieve results faster.


    I hope this blog will gives a positive impact on your journey and helps many upcoming engineers or developers, if you found this helpful give me a like as your feedback & share with your friends, and stay tuned for upcoming parts of this blog it's gonna be very interesting and helpful with many DO's and DONT's.
