Conclusion
Congratulations on made it through this workshop!
If you feel there is too much information to absorb and your brain is not working now, it's expected. I've just pour a lot information to you today that people use a week to learn.
Give yourself some time, keep learning. You will feel more confident as time goes.
Final takeaways
-
Google, Google, Google. That's part of the job.
-
If you're stuck, take a rest and walk around, or continue tomorrow. Programming is a cycle of feeling like an idiot and feeling like the smartest guy in the world. Don't let either feeling go over your head.
-
If something interest you then you can keep learning about it. Go deep into it. That's the fun of programming.
-
Don't compare yourself to others. Programming is a field that keep changing, it means the knowledge totally change every few years, and nobody can keep themselves updated of all the changes. It means there are a lot opportunities for everyone.
