As I close in on completing my Ruby tutorial on CodeAcademy (69%!), I am pondering what to do next. Should I try to work more in Ruby to develop a deep knowledge or should I work through a series of Code Academy tutorials so I have an idea which I will like the best. I am quite sure the CodeAcademy tutorials will not get me to a functional level in any language so I am seeing them as more of an extended preview. At this point, I am thinking I will work through at least the major lnaguages on CodeAcademy including Rails, Python, JavaScript, and maybe a few more. Once I have some idea of how they all work, I will begin to specialize. After all, there is no rush here.
I have also read that it is crucial to begin to make your own programs which seems pretty scary to me right now 'but I totally understand why this is the way to learn. Living in the happy bubble world in CodeAcademy is fun, but I have already encountered lessons I have forgotten because I did not work seriously enough with them and just moved through the lessons.
Am I doing it wrong?
