I have a CS degree so I understand programming as a theory (and the math behind it).

But coding up a functioning consumer app (web or mobile) is completely different. What are some intermediate level resources that teaches you to code functioning apps?

Not entirely unnecessary but I don’t need beginner level resources like CS50 or something similar…

Should I just do a coding bootcamp?

    Best way is to pick a small app or project and start building. When you hit issues or questions, start googling. You typically end up on YouTube, stackoverflow, or a random blog post.

    Doing the coding and building will teach you more and faster than just reading. The project or app will give you some rails to stay between and help you learn the process and steps

      This is it. Accomplish a goal, using code. That’s the gist of it.

      The goal starts really simple. Goal #1 is always "Get it to say “Hello World” when I press the run button.

      From there, the goal just needs to progressively grow until you get to things like “I want to automate some manual data entry for an entire industry”

      Apps and websites are good for displaying some sort of data with ways to interact in simple ways.
