I'm just starting out in programming as I'm looking to switch my career. I'm curious about whether it's better to focus on learning one concept at a time, like starting with classes before moving on to objects, and then applying what I learn in a project. Or should I dive into a project right away and learn multiple concepts simultaneously? I'd love to hear from others who have been through this process!

I definitely think it's better to learn one concept at a time. Programming concepts build on each other, so understanding the fundamentals is crucial. For instance, objects are a part of classes, not the other way around, so starting with classes might be confusing. It’s tempting to jump into projects right away, but take your time to get the basics down first. The fun parts will come once you’ve got a solid understanding!
But isn't it easier to understand classes after you've seen objects in action? I think they’re really closely related and should be tackled together.
