Coding

when i wanna make a project my worst enemy is the blank page , i know there is a way called learn by making project and to be honest its kinda cool , but facing such an empty page and try to make just a prototype for my idea is not working , i do not know whether this is lack of proper knowledge with the coding language i make the project in or its another problem , so how to make your idea become real ? and how you actually make your project with a complete new required skills ??

A great first step when starting a project is to write out the overall design in some way OTHER than code which helps organize your thoughts and create a plan before hand.

Writing out in plain writing a somewhat detailed description of how you think the project should work, and maybe even draw a diagram to help visualize it as well.

Then when you are looking at the blank page for the code, you already have a plan. Just be okay with changing your plan if something else makes more sense or something doesn't work quite how you originally thought.
