How do you learn to be a good coder? Well you can get somebody else's code and hack it. That's how I started learning. You can also dive into someone else's unit tests to figure out what they are doing.It is best to inspect a small project's code. That way you will not get overwhelmed or lost. Check out code from dudes who are gurus at software. You should also look at the source for any libs you use. Trace down what happens when you make API calls.
Reading other people's code is an easy way to learn what to do when you code yourself. However the very best way to learn coding is to just do it. There are many apps waiting to be written. What are you waiting for?
