Hi, /improve/.

Like many of us here my main problem is motivation. I've wanted to learn programming for ages now but I never manage to stick to it and have had to re-do the beginning stages of various online courses a few times now.

This time I really want to do it but I thought this task might be easier with a partner.

I'm not dead set on a specific language but I have tried and can recommend several python courses and have been told that it's a decent language for beginners.

My idea would've been to just predetermine how much work we want to do each day and use skype or some other means to discuss how we did the problems or help each other out in case someone got stuck with something.

I am a person who very much cares about what others think about him but I have little regard for myself so I need this extra pressure.

I'm 22, from germany and easy to talk to. If anyone has an idea how to go about this differently I'd also be interested.

I've done what you did before and sometimes now, the part of re-doing the beginning.

How I solved this is by taking notes and writing up a summary of what I've learned, and also skimming through my notes that I took the day before and memorize.

Don't be too worked up about having to start over or take a step back, because you've at least made some progress no matter how small. Also you can learn easier and faster because you've already gone through them.

Good luck to you and others. Take your time and if you do your best, all will come naturally.

First of all, I'm not going to do this the "academish" way, since there are lots of resources for that, namely coursera, codeacademy and alternatives..

First of all, think of something you want to do. A calculator? A game? An app? Hack a program?

What is that thing you want to do?

If you're out of ideas, then you need to work on creativity. Get something to work on, that you're interested. That you want to do. Perhaps copy software functionality? Or fix something!
