Comment on Ask HN: How can I learn to code in a practical environment?

Comments

As others mentioned, you need to start with small projects and work your way up. Remember that Google is your teacher, there is no other way to learn how to code practically. If you're not Googling, you're not learning.

There are many, many areas of programming and no course will cover them all, or even one wholly. You just work on new stuff and you will retain what you use frequently. This knowledge gets more vast the more you code.

"If you're not Googling, you're not learning."

Exactly.

That's funny, when I do that (too often in my taste), I feel like I am just hacking without really understanding anything. Also, I sometimes wonder how people did without google and SO.
