We use so many products and services on a usual basis, hence we produce data that are then utilized to train computer programs without explicit programming.

One of the common traits of people who manage to get extraordinarily results in the things that they do is that they show up consistently doing the work, whether they feel like it or not.
Continue readingJavaScript is currently one of the most popular programming languages.
Quincy Larson, the founder of FreeCodeCamp, was asked in a recent interview which language developers should learn first. He answered: “JavaScript.”:
Continue reading“Software is eating the world, and JavaScript is eating software. JavaScript is becoming more dominant with each year, and nobody knows what might eventually replace it.
If you don’t have a very good reason to learn a new language (such as your job requiring you to maintain a non-JavaScript codebase), my humble advice is to focus on getting better at JavaScript.”

We live in an area when it is easier to find information than to go out and buy at a local market nearby. Although it sounds fascinating, this has come to us as a cost: We are only learning new things, and getting new information, but hesitate and procrastinate from the actual work. Before you move on to read this article, let me ask you something: Why are you reading this? Is this article something that is really interesting for you to read, or why are you still here? Honestly speaking, there are times that we are only trying to busy ourselves with other things as an excuse for not taking action. Continue reading

Scott Young is a writer of a few books that are mostly about learning more and productivity. He is probably famous especially for his astonishing project of finishing a four year MIT Computer Science curriculum in one year learning on his own without being at MIT. He writes in a blog mostly about ways of learning more and better. A couple of weeks ago, Scott Young held a webinar about the myths and misconceptions that people have about learning well. The webinar was not intended to be recorded, so I had to wake up at 2:30 am to watch it because of the time zone differences, but I consider it totally worth my time and effort. In this article, you can find some notes that I took while attending the webinar, hoping that they may be beneficial for you. Continue reading
It is usually inevitable to stumble upon a certain topic that you have to learn, but that you simply do not find any compelling reason to learn it. You are procrastinating, browsing Facebook and doing everything else instead of learning it. Avoiding it will not help. Something has to be done related to it. This article might inspire you to think and tackle this. A key to open new ways of thinking and solving problems is asking proper questions. Below I have listed a few that can potentially help you in this regard. Continue reading
Richard Feynman was a Nobel Prize winner in Physics who used a method of learning complex things that seems very obvious and immediately makes sense that it is easy, but in fact only a few people use it. I have already mentioned it in a previous blog post as a way of learning and preparing for your exams, and I will not focus on that, but I have had an insight about the way and the possibilities of using this technique as a means of beating procrastination.

We all agree that learning is really important, but it might not be done and represented in the best form during lectures in our schools. That is why we see children happily engaged playing different computer games and spend a lot of time on them and usually not care that much about learning and doing their homework. Some of the reasons why children aren’t learning is because they aren’t properly educated and informed about the value that it has, and also because of the way used to treat learning.
