The old way VS project based
Classic, school-style teaching is dead. It was already dead before the AI changed the rules of the coding universe. Nobody wants sermones, hours of theory on coding tecniques, OOP, data management, etc. Then maybe a test, and then start over with a new concept.
You want to jump straight into the action right? Build your skills one step at a time. From each lesson you get away with something that works. AI code assistants? Yes, they are part of this new coding world. Theory? Only when needed.
You would not ride a bike downhill without having watched at least a video about how to use your brakes, right?
Be reasonable with your expectations at first. Aiming too high leads to disappointment. Complexity rises at the pace you decide, and according to your projects. Remember: the learning curve tends to infinite, but it starts at zero.
