I may be dating myself but, yours truly is going back to school. I know there are some savvy frens on here, so I wanted to see if I could get any heads-up tips that would make this process go more smoothly! Anything small or large would be appreciated; I barely know the first things about coding. Thanks for any input!

The end results of your programming are fleeting. What matters is mastering the process of how to achieve those results so that it can be replicated and built upon.
If you're impatient to finish something and are more focused on getting done than actual learning, then you'll be setting yourself up to fail.
That said, I learned programming on my own from books from my aunt's shelf and I was already asking questions my teachers couldn't answer in both high school and college. Enthusiasm and the desire to make your own projects become a reality will be more powerful than any course you can take.
This is just my opinion based on my personal experiences. Good luck.
I definitely have caught whiffs of this concept as programs I loved became unsustainable and phased out. I will be keeping this in mind at all stages of my courses. Ty!
