I just finished my second semester and decided to dive into app building using a book. I managed to complete my first app following the instructions, but it turns out the app doesn't work at all. I'm feeling really lost on what to do next, and I could use some guidance on how to move forward and fix this issue.

Start small with your projects! Make sure to compile your code often to catch errors early, and get familiar with your debugging tools. When you hit a snag, ask for help by clearly describing the problem and sharing some code that's causing issues. The clearer you are, the easier it is for others to assist you!
It sounds like you might need a new book, as the one you're using might be outdated. Sometimes, the material can be a bit behind current standards, so look for a more recent resource that could guide you better.
Typos are super common, especially when you're starting out. Even seasoned programmers make small mistakes like using a colon instead of a semicolon. I recommend testing your code frequently, like every 10-15 lines, to catch those mistakes early. If you share your code with us, we can help spot any errors!
If you’re still stuck, make sure you followed all the steps accurately and that your computer is set up correctly for running the app. Double-check for any error messages you might be getting; they can be clues to what’s going wrong.
