How To Get Product Code Sygic Android?

From a product engineering perspective what does it take to master coding?

  • I have been in the software industry for close to 10 years Worked on multiple projects in multiple domains on technologies like Java/C++ over different platforms.Written code also extensively for complex projects.Now at this juncture when I am planning to build a product I feel I don't know how to go about designing it.I don't know what classes to design and what subroutines to design.I have read almost every other blog and book present on planet Earth on product development and currently learning python from google online python classes for designing a particular module for my product idea.Still I don't have the necessary confidence. Peter Norvig says you need 10000 hours to become an expert in a specific skill.I am willing to spend that many hours and do almost anything to master coding.Funny part is that if I somehow go back and join the software bandwagon I'll probably get a management based job with a decent salary but I wish to move ahead in the product space be it creating a disruptive product or working for a company that does the same.I am clueless as of now how I can achieve technical competence and am extremely worried about my future since I love technology but it sucks the life out of me to see I can't quite code a perfect product from scratch. IS going to dev bootcamps in the US the only way I can become a rockstar programmer? I also enrolled in treehouse to learn android development as mobile/social/bigdata/cloud is what's hot right now and also because I have some exciting ideas around mobile but I find myself technically inept to code a full fledged product from scratch.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That depends on your definition of mastery. Would that entail the creation of a widely-used and critically acclaimed program? I'm gonna quote you: Still I don't have the necessary confidence Maybe that's what you should be working on. If you have 10 years of coding experience I'd think you have the knowledge necessary to plan out the functionality necessary for a project. It sounds like you what you lack is the confidence that you can finish what you start. What type of program do you have in mind? What functions would you need to design and utilize in order to feel like you've mastered the art of coding in general? (it's definitely an art in my opinion)
