16,708 PointsHow to begin really programming and developing?
Ok so I have finished all of the Javascript and am about done with Ruby but my question is how do I go about using this in the real world. I understand the code and how it works in the videos but when I go to write my own program I have no idea how to start.
For example in the Ruby course, we look at a bank account class, for a fun project to practice I want to make a rails application so that you can register, login, and begin keeping track of your transactions but have no idea how to go about it, any tips?
