Why are you learning to code?I want to start learning to code because want to change careers.
What’s your goal?
What’s a tangible learn-to-code goal you hope to reach in 6 months? I want to have a solid grasp. 12 months? I want to have a job.
What does successful learning look like to you? Is it about building a bunch of projects, having a deeper understanding of a particular technology, passing a certification, something else? Visualize and write down what success looks like to you. Grasping and understanding the concepts. Being able to create with what I know.
How will you measure that success? Is it about the amount of time spent, badges collected, courses completed? Are there tools you can use to track your learning so that you can measure your progress and document your success? I will measure success on projects completed. Each with added difficulty.
 
Do you have a timeline, or any deadlines, associated with your learning goals? Do you need to pass an exam by a certain day? Do you need to start applying for jobs by a certain time? Do want to finish a project on a particular date? Jot down any due dates or important time-related criteria. I would love to work somewhere by the end of the year.
