This post is about how beginners can make the most out of every tutorial by digging deep into the code to understand it. This is the best foundation you can give yourself for continuing to work on the code and making your own modifications. It follows on from Getting Started as a Robotics Software Engineer!, where I give the advice:

First, look for and use every resource you have available to you. Look online, ask people, work in the field; anything you can to make your journey easier.

Following on from that, I wanted to show how to take a tutorial and use various resources to understand what's happening in the provided code.

If you'd prefer to follow along, I've built a video demonstrating everything in this article, available here:

This post is all about my advice on getting started as a Robotics Software Engineer. I want to tell you a little of my journey to get to this point, then what you should do to practise and give yourself the best start possible.
