    It is so simple vijayan.

    You lack of self esteem.
    Why?

    Because you are afraid to make changes in your life.
    So please do and sharing with other people and I would love to see your coming projects

    I'll tell you a secret, the ONLY way to learn coding is to start coding ;)

    My suggestion is to think about some project you can use for fun, maybe a phone book application or scheduler and etc'. It's easy to find some daily thing you can use.

    Then sit down and start programming it from scratch, a few pages, multiple actions and everything you can think about. This way you'll learn the small things you skipped when editing ready scripts.

    Hope this method will help you, it sure helped me.

    The fun part will be looking at this code in a year after many projects and realize how much you have progressed. The more you code the better you get.

    vijayan,

    You can always write a complex project and earn much more money than doing those freelance jobs. So start with a small project and it will grow while you learn.
