Q: Mastering a programming language takes time above all else. Even a simpler language like Python, which may only take a day or two to understand the basic syntax, takes lots of time to become truly proficient at. Like any other skill, practice is the key to becoming more proficient. Try to spend at least some time each day coding, even if it's only for an hour between work and dinner. By setting attainable but challenging goals, you will be able to start solving problems and coming up with solutions. Try to think of a basic application, such as a calculator, and develop a way to make it. Use the syntax and concepts you've been learning and apply them to practical uses. There are lots of programming communities dedicated to specific languages or disciplines. Finding and participating in a community can do wonders for your learning. You will gain access to a variety of samples and tools that can aid you in your learning process. Reading other programmers' code can inspire you and help you grasp concepts that you haven't mastered yet.  Check out programming forums and online communities for your language of choice. Make sure to participate and not just constantly ask questions. These communities are usually viewed as a place of collaboration and discussion and not simply Q&A. Feel free to ask for help, but be prepared to show your work and be open to trying different approaches. Once you have some experience under your belt, consider attending a hack-a-thon or programming jam. These are events where individuals or teams compete against the clock to develop a functional program, usually based around a specific theme. These events can be a lot of fun and are a great way to meet other programmers. Try to do things that you don't know how to do yet. Research ways to accomplish the task (or a similar one), and then try to implement that in your own program. Try to avoid being content with a program that "basically" works; do everything you can to make sure every aspect works flawlessly.
A: Code daily. Set goals for your programs. Talk with others and read other programs. Challenge yourself to keep it fun.

Article: Put 3 tablespoons (45 g) of cream cheese into the serving bowl and add 1/4 cup (70 g) of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup (58 g) of mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup (25 g) of granulated sugar. Beat the creamy mixture with a wooden spoon or hand mixture until it's completely smooth. It's important to use softened cream cheese. If the cream cheese is still cold, the creamy mixture will have small lumps in it. Remove the cores from 4 sweet apples and cut each apple into bite-sized pieces. Put 1 cup (150 g) of red grapes and 1 cup (150 g) of green grapes on the cutting board. Carefully slice each grape in half. For sweet apples, use honeycrisp, gala, golden delicious, or pink lady. Put the chopped apples and grape halves into the bowl with the creamy mixture. Then add the 8-ounce (227 g) can of drained pineapple. Use a large spoon to stir the fruit salad so the fruit is completely coated. Discard the pineapple juice from the can, drink it, or use it in another recipe. Drain an 11-ounce (300 g) can of mandarin oranges and add the fruit to the salad. Use a rubber spatula to very carefully mix them into the fruit salad so they don't burst. Then serve the fruit salad. While you can refrigerate the creamy fruit salad for up to a day, avoid storing leftovers because the apples will brown and the creamy mixture will liquefy.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Beat the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, and sugar. Chop the apples and cut the grapes in half. Mix the apples, grapes, and pineapple with the creamy mixture. Toss in the mandarin oranges and serve the creamy fruit salad.

Problem: Article: Then, look to the very back of your checkbook, behind all of your checks. That's where you'll find your slips. The deposit slip pages are usually of a different color than your checks, and have Deposit Ticket/Slip written above your name and address. If for some reason you can't locate your deposit slips, or you simply don't have any, go to your bank and ask a teller for more slips. Your checks have your name, address, and sometimes phone number written on them. The same information should be present on your deposit slips. Look to the upper left side corner of your slips to make sure your information is displayed correctly. Much like your name, address, and sometimes phone number, your deposit slips should have your account number printed on them. Look to the bottom of the slip, and locate two separate strings of numbers. The first set of numbers is your routing number, and the second set is your account number. If your information isn't already displayed on your deposit slip, you need to fill it in. Follow the next step. It's unlikely that your slip won't already contain this information. But if it doesn't, or you got a blank slip from your bank, make sure to fill in this information. You'll see a few blank lines on the upper left side corner. Fill in your name, the date, and your account number.  If you're unsure about your account number, you might be able to look it up online through your bank's site. You can also go to your bank, and ask a teller to provide that information. Use black or blue ink, rather than a pencil or colored ink.
Summary: Gather your checkbook. Ensure that your name and address are printed on the slips. Locate your account number. Write your name, account number and date.

Q: Hydrogen peroxide can bleach some fabrics, so it is important to test it on a small, hidden spot of the clothing before use. Use a Q-tip or pour a very small amount, and use another method if you see discoloration. Pour 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water into a container. You can test this solution on a piece of the clothing if you’re not sure it has been diluted enough. Make sure you pour the hydrogen peroxide only on the stain and nowhere else on the fabric. You will see it begin to foam up when it is working. Rub the hydrogen peroxide in with your hands to make sure it saturates the stain.. One application of hydrogen peroxide may not do the trick, especially if it is a large stain. Apply more hydrogen peroxide if the first application does not fade or remove the stain. Wipe the stain between each application. Once the stain has been removed, rinse it under cold water. You can then choose to wash it in the washing machine or leave it as is. Either way, allow the clothing to air dry.
A:
Test the hydrogen peroxide on a small spot of the clothing. Dilute the hydrogen peroxide for delicate fabrics. Pour hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stain. Repeat the process if necessary. Rinse with cold water.
