- VILVA ATHIBAN

My Journey so far

Path to be a Self Taught Developer

Disclaimer: Its a way I found. There can always be a better way

• Decide
• Plan
• Follow your plan, not others'
• Start from Basics
• Learn Iteratively
• It's ok to miss your plan
• Test yourself
• Fail and Repeat until you succeed
• If you Succeed, repeat with tougher plans
• No excuses
