Thank you for posting videos with little to no "fluff" It really feels like you are trying to help people rather than "get views" I am gonna be starting on my coding journey this weekend and hope to go from a food industry worker of 10 years to a mega developer by June. Going to be difficult and a grind but greatly appreciate your videos mapping out the resources out there to learn a new skill.

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

My pleasure friend :P glad you found the video useful and if you ever have any questions along the way always welcome to dm me in discord!

This is gold! Thank you! I'm learning html and css and eventually Javascript as a 42 year old Dad of two in full time employment working on an IT Service Desk. I'm so relieved I found this channel. If I could just overcome the imposter syndrome, then I know I can do this.

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

You got this my friend :P I might have to make a video about imposter syndrome I think cause it can be quite the challenge to overcome!

cool stuff James, I would like to suggest you to do a video about after finally landing a job, what were your expectations and what was/is your experience in the industry, your insight would be valuable to alot of people

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

That's an excellent idea :P Thanks for the suggestion!

@sneakyscreamer 2 месяца назад

Hey James! so im currently a part time worker while trying to do real estate for about a year / half. I've not had good success and kind of feel lost. I have always been really into computers and tech on a basic level and i just bought your course and I'm planning to start my journey to learn to code and become a software developer. I don't know a lot yet but I'm willing to learn so here we go!

@Smoljames 2 месяца назад

You got this my broski :P if you ever have any questions you're always welcome to send me a message on Discord or LinkedIn and I'd be happy to help!

@archigraph_ Месяц назад

Random feedback here, but from a video optimisation POV you should add cards/clickable links in your video to link out to each of the videos you talk about/mention. Many people like me would likely right click open in new tab and watch that video next. It should also increase your watchtime stats by funneling viewers into your own videos rather than someone elses

@Smoljames Месяц назад

Appreciate the feedback my broski those are some great ideas!

@WeebTrax 4 месяца назад

Hey James, I can tell you put in a lot of effort to edit this video. Your roadmap is very helpful, would you recommend listing JavaScript and/or HTML & CSS as technical skills on my resume while I'm in the process of learning these languages or after I have learned the basics?

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

Hey friend :P I try my best haha - and yep good question. I would absolutely put them in your resume while you're in the process of learning them. No harm in being a bit optimistic and you'll know them soon enough!

@malachibrown9054 4 месяца назад

@puruzsuz31 4 месяца назад

Thanks a lot for your effort to teach us how to land a job! Is Typescript an essential tool for companies or giving applicants an advantage if they have? You didn't mention in the both videos iirc.

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

You are correct and it's a good question! The main reason I haven't spoken about it is because it really hasn't been a requirement on my path as much as everything else mentioned in the videos has been. I'd categorize it more as a nice-to-have rather than an essential :P But that's just my opinion, and I'm sure others would prioritize it more so and consequently I definitely recommend learning it given the chance.

@puruzsuz31 4 месяца назад

@darren47774 4 месяца назад

Hey James, I have a question. When doing a project that starts out as a tutorial, should I be placing it inside a public or private Github repo? You wouldn't want a potential employer to see the earliest stages of what will eventually become your amazing project before you've tweaked it, pulled it apart and made it your own. Also, if you have other tutorials with commented notes that you've made, shouldn't at least some of those notes be private? Let me know what you think. 🤔

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

Great question - I wouldn't worry about making it private as by the time you're finished, the code will look very customized and personal, and it's highly unlikely that they'll go through you commit logs haha!

@lostinthenarrativve 4 месяца назад

Hey man, how did you learn Firebase & The ecommerce site with React + Firebase?

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

I think i picked up firebase from a tutorial and it was probably the same for the ecommerce site haha. But they would have given me the skeleton and then I adapted it from there :P

@lostinthenarrativve 4 месяца назад

@@Smoljames Great, can you please tell me whose tutorial it was? :(

@user-wf3pk9sy2t 4 месяца назад

Hey James you didn’t mention about the the place of chat gpt and AI in the process of learning full stack web development

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

Good question! Mainly because I still think it has a long way to go. The main way I would incorporate it into the learning workflow is to help you with idea generation and also with concept explanations when needed :P

@thisisCloaked 4 месяца назад

I'm a 16 year old from India, well my plan is to master some coding program and do projects and deploy it in my portfolio for the next 2 years. Once I turn 18 can I get accepted by companies? If foreign companies can I work from home as a 18 year or 19 or 20 based on the situation I get but with/without a degree

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

Hey broski :P The most important thing is that you've got some work to show everybody and then you have every chance at getting a job!

Do you think DSA is still important for an interview?

@Smoljames 4 месяца назад

I'd say it's a nice to have but not necessary - it didn't really assist me much outside of python being a good language to know for backend development haha
