Learn by Teaching

You learn a lot by doing, but you learn even more by teaching. As you learn how to program, you are in the perfect position to teach others how to program. As you teach the things you have just learned, and the things you are still learning, you develop a point of view that is exactly what other beginners need. Seasoned (that is, hardened) programmers might know more than you, but that can mean the way they explain things is complicated and difficult to understand. In that sense, you are more qualified to teach than anyone.
