When getting started with programming or being job-ready competent, you might experience the "desert of despair." I will be explaining why this struggle happens and what you can do to survive it.
At the beginning, you'll find tons of resources and informations you can use to teach yourself to code. Instead of the many tutorials and courses, you have to rely on textbooks, documents, and such. The second factor is the amount of knowledge and skill required for you to progress until you can get a career or a job as a software developer —and you might end up going down different roads just to find out what you don't know.
Although it might be difficult, though, there are three things you can do to get over the apathy : collaborate with others, set goals for what you want to accomplish, and focus on those resources that will lead you to that goal.
