I'm also open to hearing from programmers who write non-fiction as well. I've been working on my first book for a series and feel like I don't hear enough about programmers doing the same. What has been your experience trying to get published and how do you manage your writing life with your coding life?

I'm solving challenges without looking up solutions from the internet. I use the official documentation and debugging methods for help. This method has been helpful because when I go back to solve the problem again, I can implement the code in other ways and apply some techniques to newer and more challenging problems. I used to struggle over a problem, copy the solution, understand the solution, then rewrite it 3-5 times. But I still had a hard time coding a solution up myself. Figuring out the problem without using someone's solution helped with gaps I had about learning to code earlier.

I'm using this method at a month long interview bootcamp, but the pace is slower with me. Is there a way for me to catch up with the class, while working on the problems the way I do right now?

I'm also asking this because I know that when I work in a company, there are time constraints. I'd like to figure out a way to code at the pace needed, but still learn what I need to learn without skimming over material.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi. Tech newbie here, although I've had an account here for some time.

I've been having struggles starting my projects and sticking to it till I finish, especially when I try to use frameworks like React. Working with state in React is one thing I still struggle with. When a library like Redux comes in, I get a lot more caught up with mastering the framework/library before I start my project.

Since I didn't have much experience making projects without a framework,(e.g did not work with DOM much before React either, I only had a few projects using a basic HTML/CSS/JS file), do I need to focus on projects without a framework to help with my understanding of React and/or any other framework/library?
