- Strategize a plan for them

He had lost all of his inheritance.
Then, move on to the next challenge. Repeat this process.

I've been following this approach for years, and it still works for me for learning.
The secret to becoming a better programmer:

Just like any other skill we want to improve: Practice!

Programming is no different.

Just watching tutorials or reading articles won't cut it. Those resources are great, but they won't make you an expert on their own.

All for free.
