Lack of coding experience and programming knowledge

Hello everyone,

I’m Nizar, a fourth-year AI major at Damascus University.

Over the past three months, I’ve been following the AI learning path on DeepLearning.AI. I’ve already completed the first course in the specialization and am currently working through the second.

As the concepts have grown deeper and more varied, I’ve realized that I’m not yet flexible enough with coding: I often struggle to understand existing code and to write my own. This stems from the limited problem-solving experience I gained during my earlier years at university.

I’m now looking for ways to strengthen my coding knowledge and practice while I continue these courses.

Can anyone help with that?

I recommend you work through some Python coding tutorials.

Thanks for the contribution!
Exactly—what you’ve recommended is the main idea I’m after. However, I’d like to acquire this knowledge in parallel with my coursework, without having to start completely from scratch and disrupt my progress.

I hope that makes sense.

Hey Nizar,
i totally understand you man,i went through the same thing,Python tutorials are definitely helpful, but what really made a difference for me was using ChatGPT while learning. I ask it to explain code I don’t understand, help me fix bugs, or even guide me while writing code from scratch. It’s super useful when you’re stuck or just need things broken down simply.

Hello brother and thanks for sharing your experience
It is actually helpful using Large language model such as GBT to explain code as you said, and I am personally doing that.
However, things get a lil bit differnt when It comes to writing and handling code by your self and this is the part I am seeking some powerful solution for.

Yeah I’m also trying like you, slowly figuring things out
Right now I’m working on a live project using deep learning, so I’m learning as I go
It’s not easy, but step by step it’s getting better
