Good Tips For Coding

[kromball]

Hi people. I was just wondering are there ANY good healthy tips for a person to code with like motivation is the main thing.
I always think when i see a source this is going to take a LONNNG time. On the other hand i feel like i have no life when i start to learn how to code. How can i get rid of this feeling . I do have a life by the way
So basically i need some tips on how to be a good awesome coder and i am motivated almost all the time. The huge coding lines in C# or php or html/css just sickens me and i think i wont get past the 10th clip i have on C# but iuts because i always wanted to learn C# but that is also fading away and along with my coding motivation feeling.
So please help me out on how to be a great coder
Thanks
Sincerely
Kromball

Best advice is to start with the basics.

Once you have a firm grasp on the basics of programming and OOP you can move towards more advanced things and those related to conquer. Start by reading through some introductory C# books. From there I'd suggest writing a number of small projects to test out your knowledge of various things and learn new stuff. Try making a couple console games to get comfortable with sanitizing user input, looping and logic, make a simple database management program to understand some SQL related stuff, write an image processor to get a good grasp of file structures, multi dimensional arrays and file I/O. Once you can properly write some of these small programs then I'd try translating some of my knowledge over to conquer and work my way up from there. Try look through existing sources, get a good feel for them, write some new basic features... then once you understand them well enough, work on writing your own custom source.
