Why programmers fail at start of their programming careers
Published: 2020-07-22 06:51:20

Programmers are these highly motivated individuals who most often unfortunately  always loose that focus due to  what I call the 'Programmers fear'. This is because ,most people that introduce them to programming also happen to be individuals who in some way know the concepts but lack the basics of instilling a new concept in a new person ,which is something very important ,programming is not about how much you tell your students but how much interest you instill in them to like it ,this is because no matter how many hours or amount of content you give them if the student has no interest then it would be a total waste of valuable time ,this is something that most tutors or programming teachers don't understand ,this is because most of the tutors are individuals who are well versed with the language after a long period of practice and experience and therefore everything seems so easy for them and they make the mistake of assuming that it the same for each and every other person even the students  they are teaching,most of the programming newbies are people that don't understand the cradle basics of the language from as low as what a text editor is let alone what the language is ,so starting the language tutoring from the variables is like leaving a  swimming-newbie in the middle of the ocean to swim back to shore ,he or she might try but then he or she might not make it any far or worst still even make a single move ,and the reason for his/her drowning might not be due to the fact that he couldn't swim but rather because it's something new and most often whenever we are in something totally new we can barely make even the most obvious move if we have not the slightest idea of what is happening. This is also the same scenario with programming newbies .
A tutor who is keen to make sure his/her students progress in whatsoever language being taught should not start with the programming or code writing but in the first three or four lessons take their time to explain to the learners the basics like:
1 ).Reason for learning the language
2).Real world application  of the language .
3).Text editors best suited for writing the language 
4. Alternative for the language (if any)
5).Period for taking the language 
6).The proramming or coding style that will be used by the tutor dying the period 
7). The physical/online /vitual environment for  writing the language
8). Applications to be use to run the  language 

With all this in mind the tutor will be creating a smooth environment for the transition of the newbie from just a beginner to a professional programming genius when he/she is done ,this also help the learners to make a decision if that is the language of interest or relevance to them ,hence avoid the issue of 'Kangaroo programmers' as I call it ,this are programmers who go ta a programming language then does some bits of it then after wasting some amount of time in it they realise that it's not what they want and they therefore jump to another language ,this cycle continues till a prospective programmer one day realises that he /she has done lots of language but in the end he/she know nothing more than the usual basics of variable declaration  and some future basic methods ,looking back at how much time he/she has lost with totally nothing to show for it ,he/she opts looses the interest that was once there not because he/she was a shitty programmer but rather because his/her introduction to programming was not of interest development but rather based on ignorance of  a tutor .
With the daily emergence of tutors on daily basis it important to be hawk eyed and we'll informed in the tutor one intends to choose to teach him/her how to programme .
Features of an effective tutor 
1.Posess great skill in emotional intelligence
2.Posess massive  knowledge in the field of computer science he/she tutors  or has a bunch of verifiable success stories accredited to him/her 
4.Does not rush to show how good he/she but rather want to know what his/her students have gotten from his class 
5.Is highly practical 
6 Has plans on how the course is going to be conducted 
7. Is open ,this is because most tutors on their online classes carry with them big free code that they paste on the screen to illustrate what they have supposedly taught ,,this one of the biggest problem today because this are bug free codes because that had been done behind the screen,what most programming tutors forget is that debugging is one of the most important programming attributes that cannot go ignore  and if ignored is like leaving someone with a manufacturing machine and telling them all the operation but doesn't tell them what to do if it doesn't work like that which is always the case because there is no guarantee that the new operator will follow the instructors with a mistake at all,S the operator ,new programmers need to see the debugging so that of things don't work as expect they know what to however most tutors hide this most crucial part from them. 
8. Language to be used in teaching.
With all this In mind it's very important for the student to be vigilante and adamant in choosing the best tutor based on their area of interest because as I always say and had said earlier proramming isn't about how many code a tutor puts on the screen but rather the interest he/ she develops  in the student .Because with the right interest  , the learners develops the right attitude and basically talking that's all we need to hace as far as knowing programing is concerned  ,with  the right attitude and great interest to learn the student can easily research,practise and even read and understand programing on his/her own ,the main reason why I say this is cause most of the greatest programmers today are self taught and a tutor is just a factor to point them in the right direction an not necessarily teach them as most people believe.
