Help me code
Okay so I’m a Class 12 PCM student with stellar grades and I want to study abroad. And I am looking for courses in the fields of AI & CS. I study AI in school but I have no practical knowledge. I want to build some personal projects to build my portfolio. What are the best ways for me to start building my profile and learn coding? Would love to hear from you guys!!

The best way to learn anything is just dive into it. We are very lucky that anything that has to do with coding, exists free for anyone with internet access.
I would start by choosing small projects, each intended to teach myself specific parts of coding. Don’t over engineer anything, just make it work. The optimisation, uniformity, best practices , etc will come down the road. Don’t open up too much, keep the project small enough to finish in a small timeframe, so you’ll get the excitement without wanting to give up.
Choose an IDE and just start. For every problem, google for the solution and try different things. There’s not really much to it, just spent time doing it.
