Don’t follow tutorials. They kill your creativity. Instead think about something useful to you and build it. Get stuck? Learn and ask. Build more. And so on.



I think tutorials can be useful, especially for something entirely new. If I just open a text editor to a blank page it's really hard to get going. If I have a demo project it's much easier to start to modify that to do something else.
