Hi borthers,

That is a question each programmer ask himself ,

I know the practice makes perfect , but if you have some expreriences please send reply !

How did you become good programmer ?

What are you doing to be good programmer ?

Thanks in advance

You practice to be a good programmer. There is nothing more to it.
It's all about how you practice though.

Consider you saw tutorial !

How much should you see tutorial to become good programmer ?

How much you should see other people methods?

How can you build your own gigantic application ?

It's not about watching tutorials. It's about trying new things that you've never done before. Instead of creating the same thing in 50 different ways, make it once and then hop onto something else.

This is were I love the PHP competitions, you'll (mostly) get to create something you haven't done before. Like now, I've never though of making a simple crawler and now that I've made one, I can pick out things from it and make something completely different out of it.

Watching other peoples methods helps sometimes, it really depends on what you mean. Stick to your programming methods but make sure they're not stupid.

And how to build a "gigantic application".
1) Get an idea.
2) Learn what you NEED, to make it.
3) Get out notepad.
4) Build it.
5) <- This step is optional, sell it for millions.

My problem is in collecting info for what I need !

I don't know sense of being frustrated ,

How should we collect info ?

http://www.php.net search for the function if you need to know how to use it.
Or Google something you're trying to do. It all depends on the project.

You should probably stop using tutorials as soon as you can. You need to think for yourself to get anywhere really
