Coding Study Roadmap: From Copy-Along to Your Own Published App

This fits the specific self-taught stall of having read the material yet still not being able to write the code yourself. It's for working adults and students searching for how to build a programming study roadmap or how to copy-code effectively on their own. Open it when you keep losing time without deciding what to work on next.

Work the board top to bottom. Start with Goals and study rules and write down where you want to be in three months and how much study time you have, then use What to study to decide what's out of scope this round too. Let Five steps from copy-along to launch guide your pace, and whenever stuck, use Choosing what to work on next to pick exactly one thing for today. What to do at each stage lays out the input and output expected of copying, modifying, and building your own, so check it against your progress at the weekly review. The task board runs Backlog, Learning, Building, Reflecting, and Done, and cards only move right once you've actually written code.

In week one, stick to Write your one goal and Pick one main course, and resist adding a second textbook. By the end of month one, getting through Solve 10 mini drills is enough - flag any line you don't understand and carry it to next week. Hands tend to freeze right after Build your own app, so decide up front it's fine to look back at code you copied earlier.
