Answer to: How to build strong fundamentals of programming without using AI

Use Java rather than Python; the Java compiler provides more advanced control. Study algorithms, mathematics, and applied mathematics according to your chosen field or interests (statistics, mechanics, etc.). Also study database modeling and object modeling. For example : https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/ You can also take online courses. https://openclassrooms.com/en/ Otherwise, the rule, in my opinion, is: "Study, code, try, study, code, try again and again, until you no longer have any doubt about the path or paths to follow depending on the type of problem..." Share and exchange your attempts with other students. Explain to others what you have understood; this will strengthen your knowledge. And above all, have fun !!!
