The Myth of Learning by Writing Code (dnote.io)

I think that writing code is not the holy grail of learning programming or improving as engineers. What really matters is the process of giving ‘form’ to an otherwise abstract ideas.

I wrote this article to explain why learning by writing code might be a myth, and to suggest an alternative way of approaching learning based on my personal experience.


A lot of evidence suggests the best learning occurs through practice. Programming is no different.
