6 Of My Personal Tips When Learning To Code 

I'd love to see that, as I will be expected to be doing this in my new position within a few months.

"design database" what are you talking about... Doing some tables in photoshop right

Great idea, would love to see that ✅

Yes please I want to see that too

Amazing idea

My approach is very similar to yours and it works for me, so far.

I do not see this working for me. I’m very much of the “if you don’t use it you lose it” mentality.

@@kokodev3719 The thing is that I use what I learn in between those "learning sprints", so yeah, you're right, and for me everything in life is such. use it or lose it. it's very rarely the case where we don't use knowledge and yet retain it. happy coding

@@faridguelmi7123 I agree. It's all about those personal projects. Build that portfolio!

Come on, big brother. I am way too young to be your dad. Lol thanks for watching!

@@TraversyMedia I thought you will say "Ok Son... Enjoy the feast!!!" 😛😂

You are cut out for this. I can't tell you how many times I felt that way. I still do some days. It may never go away. I have learned to tell that part of me to shut the f*ck up lol. You will too. Believe me, I did so much drugs and harmed my body and brain when I was younger. That can all recover.

@@TraversyMedia I'm so grateful I found your channel. Our bodies are always healing; we are more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. You have inspired so many people with the adversity you've faced. Much love from Canada.

I reallly hope you did well on that one, and even if you didn't it's not late.Been there so as well.

You have no idea how often i had this feeling that I have already irreparably destroyed my life and health did not allow me to follow the path that I really wanted. But the very thirst to do something says that you have talent. And then I thought, if for so many years and troubles this idea of becoming a developer does not gone away and has not died yet, then i must do it. And I got up at 40+ and started doing. I've been doing this for a year now. And I quit smoking according to Allen Carr's book The only way to stop smoking forever. I advise everyone who has gone through this. God bless us.

​@@jusyFAllen-Carr-Methode helped me too.

If you wanna be good in web dev apart from programming concepts itself, I strongly recommend getting knowledge of network. Not saying to go and do CCNA or something, but I would say Cisco trainings, books and materials are one of best to get familiar with networking. And other this is OS concepts. Again I don't say you must go and start writing compilers etc. Finally also there is database concept. "The relational model for database management " book is free. Although it's quite old it's still one of the best I could advise to read. Personally I have straight close to metal background as electronic/computer engineer with embedded system design, but I don't say one should start from there, although it can help quite a bit especially when it comes to back end stuff and IoT, as you will know communication protocols. Not only networking. If I would have to advise one to read any books I would say: "Operating system concepts"- any edition would be good but get as latest as possible. "Understanding Linux kernel" again it's 1000 pages and I don't expect you to go whole way, but read at lest introduction chapters. Also DB book I mentioned above. People often talk about environment and they think about client or server, but often forget that OS (even for server) is environment also and whole network as well.

Thanks man. I have some stuff to workout with the camera. Right now everything is on auto. I like it though.

From what I can tell, you don't need to memorize how to implement data structures and algorithms, do you? You just need to know their use cases: when to use them, when not to use them, so that when you insert it into the codebase for optimization purposes, you can just look up a standard library or library implementation. Then you run the profiler and see if it helped your performance. If it hurt performance, take it out; if it helped, keep it and see what you can do from there to make it faster if you still need to.

Thank you man. Still working out some quirks, but I'm happy with it.

Awesome. That’s exactly what I try and go for. Thanks

That's awesome and extremley rewarding to hear. I get into slumps all of the time. As long as you don't give up, you will find your way out of it.

Yeah If I just listed them without saying anything further, that is useless. I try and put my own spin on everything.

Yeah and there are fundamentals to everything. For example, understanding the fundamentals of HTTP will help you with ANY language/framework. Learning HTTP is much more valuable than just learning the syntax of an Express server. Some people don't understand this. Learn what is happening "under the hood"

The Harvard CS50 course (online and free) is worth following along with, you get some idea of the fundamentals within computers themselves e.g. binary. There's even a MOOC called Nand-to-Tetris that goes right from the transistor level upwards until you've built a working game. I think it's worth understanding these things, even to just a shallow depth, as it helps you feel a little less like you're in the middle of a boundless ocean.

@@TraversyMedia do you recommend MDN's HTTP module on their website for learning it, or something else?

@@thatoneuser8600 The MDN docs is generally an excellent reference. Traversy Media has a crash course on HTTP which is worth watching. The CORS MDN HTTP docs are worth checking out.

That sensation of being afraid is called tech overwhelming and you should know how to deal with it, as it's the case for your stress most of the time.

Good, But one thing at a time.

seems like it is more of a personality thing and you being aware of your weak points is really exemplary.
