[Tutor] Learning Objectives?

[M Hashmi]

Coding is an art....that helps you craft beautiful things in digital world.
As beginner it's pretty natural to confuse about which learning curve can
benefit you most in future.

If I were you I would go with simple approach. I would choose best of the
best software available and start building its source by looking at it. Bit
by bit piece by piece it would help you to understand a pre-built
application.

Lets assume as you've posted in Django group so you might be interested in
web development. Pick a best project and start writing your own guide for
yourself. The best one I came across is django-oscar. Start building it's
replica and document each step in the process for yourself. You can consult
the django's own docs as well as django-oscar's documentation for
understanding what the function/class is about.

I bet that in a single month you will be able to build a semi-dynamic site
yourself. In maximum 3 to 4 months you can really do wonders.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
M
