Learning to Code: Focus on ‘When’ rather than ‘How’!

Too Long; Didn't Read

Ironically, I am a self taught programmer despite having a Computer Science Under-graduation under my belt. The reason is I never learnt Programming while I was college, not because I didn’t want but the curriculum was extremely boring and useless. Because I wasn’t taught programming, I was just taught Syntaxes. I was made learn how to initialize a variable, how to sum two variables, how to create an array. I was primarily taught ‘How To’ rather than when to use an array, when to handle an exception.
