I can’t wait for the “Learning how to fly is easy, actually”
As someone who has passed tutorial hell, dont give up on projects if you cant solve problems. Once you get invested in a project enough, you will automatically get interested in solving the problem. The push at the start to atcually start making projects is the only hard part
Seeing you post is like seeing a wizard come into your small medival town
As a programmer for 7 years, programming is only intimidating as a concept. Once I got it down, it was so easy. TY FOR THIS VIDEO
The idea of ascending from tutorial hell to project heaven gives me hope
One thing I'd like to share as a software developer is that I've personally never bothered doing any of those Leetcode or similar problems when applying to jobs. What worked for me was creating a web portfolio of projects I've done (the portfolio itself even counts), and when applying for interviews at companies, I'd ask if I could demo one of my portfolio projects during the interview. Interviewers usually accept because it's an interesting proposal and something different than going through the typical interview process. It basically throws the ball in your court to where you can prove your knowledge by showing off a real, practical application that you've built, and be able to explain how it works, what tools you used, why you did certain things, etc. I've found that tends to go a long way than just being able to answer common programming theory interview questions.
most of the advice is geared towards people who want to get a tech job, but I just want to make creative projects like games, interactive art and silly raspberry pi projects
Every time I need to learn something, I go to easy, actually. I appreciate how straight he is with us, and instead for giving us a load of jargon, he just gives us the facts. Thank you, easy, actually.
Been programming for nearly a decade now. This video is amazing advice and from now on I'm going to send it to anyone who asks me how to get into coding.
Data Scientist here. Can confirm the feeling of never knowing "as much as I should" still hasn't gone away, but what has changed is that I no longer get overwhelmed/intimidated by the thought of how am I going to get this code to do what I want it to do. I know I'm capable of getting it to work and make it efficient, and I've only gained that confidence from trying and failing and not giving up. Bonus if you're lucky enough to find yourself a good mentor!
From a Full Stack Developer , here are the tips : How to learn coding ? : Do Project. How to pass a interview ? Leetcode , interview skill is not the same as your programming skill.
HOW DOES THIS GUY ALWAYS PULL UP WITH THE EXACT VIDEOS I NEED AT THE MOMENT (tysm btw)
these videos are weirdly addictive
Thank you so much! Those websites will also be very useful, it's so cool that it has a dev roadmap so that you can kinda test what you know already, and what you maybe should familiarize yourself with. Also, it's so cool that there are projects, I am a person who can easily come up with projects, but it always turns out to be a huge project, so these oftentimes simpler projects are actually often better.
Bottom-up approach to coding never worked for me. It wasn't until my manager threw me a project where I needed to learn python and build an entire database/tool is when it started to click. I've been going top down for most tech things and it's been working great.
I used to feel overwhelmed watching videos like this. Now I’m trying to break things down step by step and actually take action. Documenting my journey along the way — maybe it can help others who are just starting too.
I learnt how to code by having a big project in mind that wasn't too hard, it took me a lot of time but eventually I made it and I still like it. Though it's usually just watching tutorials and applying what you saw.
‘Ve coded for 3 years and it still was horror time. Thanks for this video, maybe I will try again
i literally started learning javascript and coding in general a day before this came out, i swear this channel reads me mind
