How I would learn to code (if I could start over) 

💯💯

If a person doesn't blink then he's a programmer.

@@aliyanpops6424 he blinked first 15 seconds

🤣

If he looks dead, that's a true software engineer

I'm turning 31 this week and starting to enter the world of coding. Pls tell me I'm not in over my head. I wish I would've started years ago!

I'm around y'all's age and started learning python recently. Just a couple of successful small bash scripts before this.

@@iTzAlwxyss how is that helpful lmao

@@bibistar1111 start with harvard's free CS50x course. you need to learn how to problem-solve specifically, not focus on learning any particular technology (which is why i'm recommending it). from there you can go onto the Web track, Gaming track, Programming for Law, Programming for Business tracks on the course. also, don't buy the certificate before starting. Just have it in mind that you're going to finish the course. whether it takes a year, or two, depending on your levels of discipline, it'll be worth it. it'll also teach you to supplement learning by knowing how to search correctly for the right questions.

Where did u take ur start

@@johnbhia3322 I started with udemy a course by Angelu Yu called 100 days of code. She has a nice slow way of explaining. After that I can keep with the faster way most youtubers explain things. @Techwithtim is good but talks fast.

@@andreheynes4646 yes i also did Angelu yu Cource for 100 days but i would always fail her excercise and that made me sad becz i could not Creat code just copy it. I want to learn the pattern like which code belong where. I am new So sometime i feel lost

@@johnbhia3322 I know how you feel. There is no easy way. All advice I can give is keep looking for better tutorials but also it really helps so much to practice on something you would really like to create . For me thats to create add ons for blender. If you have a goal it will keep you focused but it won't make things any easier. Take frequent breaks from one coding challenge and in that break try something new in coding or anything else then get back to coding. I always had a passion for coding and thats what helps me through the tough times. So keep going don't give up. Nothing worth achieving is easy but once you achieve your goal you will feel like it was worth it. Keep your eyes on the prize...when I mentioned to a developer I'm going to learn coding on my own all he said was "good luck, enjoy the journey".

@@johnbhia3322 keep the hard work and devotion guys it will satisfy you eventually

Don’t forget impostor syndrome

I'm also 36 and just started html 2 months ago. My goal is to one day hopefully soon become a web developer and software engineer.

I will be 30 next month. I come from accounting background. I want to start python. Can you please give me some direction from where I can start? Preferably some free resources/ website which you would have done if you were me 10 months ago when you started. Help would be appreciated.

@@affection788 you know Hindi brother? Then follow code with harry YT he is good at teaching Before learning python just learn what is variables and types it will take just 15 minutes Then start with any tutorial in YT Just try to understand, don't memories syntex or anything Try to solve a real world problem It will help to understand very fast

@@vaibhavnayak233 Thanks for you response. Yes I do know Hindi, and I will follow what you said. Thanks brother.

hi

totally agree 🔥🔥wish he'd grow his hair out though😪bet it'll look cool

Yeah he is. Do you by any chance know him...?

yeah, i subcribed you

you two are so cool

And I just wanna know, how much you learned in those 1.5 year??

understandable. mentality is like the foundation of foundations, everything can change to an unimaginable degree but if you are afraid or gave up then you are done, doesn't matter what you want to learn. but a healthy common sense is just as important, especially the ability to calculate whether you are wasting your time or not. for example, is it worth it to learn CSS if you are going to need 10 years of full time dedicated learning to be decent at it?

@@flowerofash4439 i struggle with last part you said, in every field in life but im now aware of it and remind myself to think outside of the box

Libraries from 1472

I have that, so I just started reading documentations by myself

Bro this is the worst and than having to fix those bugs 🥲🥲

@@chiragsingla. most people here don't even know that documentation exists. They exclusively depend on RU-vid.

@Y K So learning PHP after C since it is a scripting language will be a little different in the fact that you don't have to worry as much about memory and where bits are being stored! It is similar to Python so it's definitely another unique language that will be very helpful for sure, eventually combine that with some more web development architecture and you could make some cool stuff! Either way, once you have an understanding of C, you start to think in the way a programmer does, so when learning new concepts or something in a new language, I'll be like wow, that actually is kinda similar to x from y language, etc. Keep at it and keep learning!

I remember, it took me a year to thoroughly grasp JavaScript (my first ever programming language) but then I learnt Python in 2 weeks, SQL in 2 weeks and am currently in the process of learning R.

@Y K damn starting with C. Hope you doing well buddy.

if you were to start again what would your path be? im 16 and have no idea which language to start with

@@jascel977 Honestly start with something you think you want to learn! It realistically doesn’t really matter what you start with to be honest, if you really want a fundamental behind the way programming works I would recommend starting with C before going to college unlike I did! I started with Java which was still good but I wish I had more experience in C before taking classes in it! Once learning either of those honestly you’ll be able to pick up on probably any other language you need if you have a solid understanding by that point!

I'm a first year CS student and first language we're taking is c++

@@jeanmariemattar do you recommend it as the first language? I've recently read that you shouldn't start from difficult languages like C++, C, C# and so on. Should I start from python instead? (For cyber security and backend)

@@bakugo4062 before college I started learning python and that helped a lot in understanding c++ so I recommend you to learn some basic python then c++

I just watched some RU-vid tutorial on python nothing complicated

@@bakugo4062 you can start with c and c++ thry are not hard language they are medium, but python is easier especially for beginners and its a perfect language for backend and cyber security

Hey, I'm about to start a diploma in Information Tech as part of a coding bootcamp. Its for fullstack development. Would I be able to land a job with this or should I take it a step ahead and try to find a part time whilst doing CS in uni. I'm 20 turning 21 in may 25. Help me out bro Im lost at life rn.

@@fl3xsociety611 A LOT of people get dev jobs with a bootcamp background. I worked with a guy recently who did a bootcamp and he was a very good engineer. Honestly, I would probably just do the bootcamp these days. Times were very different when I did it haha! I'm 33.

@@fl3xsociety611 If you're just 21 and think you're lost it, imagine me who are about to turn 26 in 2 days and only now started considering making career in programming.

Why did you choose not to code professionally after putting so much time into it ? Or was PM what you studied at uni?

@@izacks15 from the individuals I’ve talked to they started coding , got burned out, and then used that knowledge to get a similar/higher paying job and like it better. Coding was a foot in the door kind of thing.

keep coding lang palagi idolo

College or boot camp? Or what’s the best option?

About to get into college studying IT this year as well, this video reassured me of my choice. Good luck to you in your Programming journey!

Hello, I'm new to Bitcoin trade and I've been making huge losses but recently i see a lot of people earning from it Please can someone tell me what to do?

The new digital gold has created a new trillion-dollar's opportunity around the world! Where do you think your country is headed for

All you need now is a professional trader else you will continue making losses.

That is true, you need an expert broker and account manager to make good profit from Bitcoin trade.

Trading on your own is very risky, many people have lost a lot trading for themselves

ur good enough

Coding is easy if you are only coding “hello world”.

@@thetruthsayer8347 See. There's already misconceptions about coding. And, many people learn coding from the internet. Learning from the internet isn't wrong. But, like any thing on the internet, there's high quality learning materials, and there's bad quality learning materials. For example, some websites tell you that Java is better, while other websites tells you that Python is better. But, they don't tell you the truth that if you learned any programming language you would be able to learn another programming language within a shorter time, like a week. Yes, a week. They teach you how to write code in a specific language. But, they don't give you the big picture that there are common programming concepts that almost exist in every programming language. Once you invest some time in learning programming concepts, you would see that coding is easy. There are also other things you need to learn depending on what you want to do. For example, APIs. Imagine that you are working for a bank in the IT department. And, this bank bought another bank and they decided to merge into one entity. Then, they asked you to create a new interface for the clients of both banks to login and use the services. In this case, you wouldn't find a library on the internet that deals with the APIs of both banks. Reddit can't help, RU-vid can't help, and Stackoverflow can't help. But, I know you wouldn't believe me if I told that there are tools that can make coding easier for such a complicated problem. That's why I insist that coding is easy, and it's the easiest part of the problem. If you think that coding is difficult. You could fall into a big mistake which is only learning a specific programming language because someone told you it's what you need to get a job. That leads to slowing down your learning speed, and investing so much time on an easy part of the problem. If a job requires Python, and you know Java, made softwares using Java. You can get the job. Note, the employer can have the misconceptions I mentioned. So, you need to say that you can learn Python in a short time. If the employer doesn't have misconceptions, he would ask you if you can learn Python within a week. You can get the job if you said yes, and proved that you know what it takes. Learning another programming language after being good at one is like learning how to drive a bus after being good at driving a truck.

@@RealSaudiExplorer you are right for the most part. I just feel like, equating it plumping is a stretch lol. There are many “standard” ways to write code. Depending on the what the programmer wants to achieve, some ways work better than others. For a beginner, that can be a lot of confusing information to learn quickly.

Hey I am trying to look for a mentor for coding. Do you have anyone you can refer me to or tops to finding a mentor? Thanks!

how did you meet your mentor and are you in college for a CSE degree?

the odin project, then python and c/c++

@@satoshinakamoto7253 we’re you replying to me?

Pair coding

YOU need to start bro! Just START !

::☝::☝

I’ve just started learning C#, it’s my first language. One thing I do on my own is under the title I’ll put as necessary: //ACT (actNum) + L(lineNum), //Chapter(chapNum) + L(lineNum) //Page(pgNum) + L(lineNum) I’ve just started learning but I thought it would be nice in case I have to write long code and need to navigate through it. One question I have though, does visual studios have a Find feature? So you can search through your code and if so does it include comment code?

@@JohnDoe69986 ctrl+f on windows. You can also right click your classes or variables and "go to definitions". If you are exploring a code base, id do that instead of find.

It's good to learn logic along with learning to code because that's really what it comes down to I believe. Logical patterns.

@@JohnDoe69986 wait what's this

Your so right mate,I am 62,and just started learning coding for my arduino projects,and I find it difficult to say the least,and I am the worlds worst at giving up if I don't get it right the first time thinking I am no good at it,but the other day I thought you have to relax,and enjoy the experience of learning something new,and to makesure I keep practicing the basics to makesure I actually know what I am looking at

yo Cole, good to see you here!

I just learned yall knew eachother today

🗿

Ayy, Cole you're here?!!

Hey Cole are you also a programmer ?

100% 👌🏽👏🏼

Thank you for that helpful insight.

so how's it gone now

Hi, how’s it going now, did you finish the course?

The concept is the same with LinkedIn learning

Think about the positive side; now you can study a language that makes computers "do" things, as you said, and people who started with those languages will have to start from 0, in what you already know!

100% this is ridiculous

Use Pomodoro technique Set a timer for 25 mins, work the entire time, if you get distracted restart it. Once you work that entire 25 mins, take a 5 min break. Repeat it for 4 blocks of 25 mins with 5 min breaks between each one. After completing the four 25 minute blocks, take a 15 to 30 min break. You have to break the learning up into segments, as it helps you learn quicker. Research it! Good luck!

is it hard to learn new stuff? i keep hearing you need to learn new technology but isnt that with other fields too?

@@magasydele2502 ofcourse it’s hard - are you going to let that stop you?

I’m the same way, I started learning to code when I was 20, and a year later at 21 I still feel frustrated that I never gave myself the chance to learn it earlier on. But every day is a new day and an opportunity to learn something so it’s better to not let yourself get upset and to just keep chipping away at it.

@@ryanbreighner7408 same, i m 23 almost 24 and I graduated from college but i feel i don t like what the profesion

I’m 32. I am just starting! I feel so old!

I think it was an editing mistake but it is cool anyways haha

Would you please share what the course is that you are taking?

nick likes this comment, so this comment is good, nice

Loll, I did Python 3 --> HTML & CSS --> Flask --> JavaScript

How has the class been so far ? I want to go after a bachelors in CS but I know its a big commitment. I know you are still getting settled in but if you have any advice / Tips that would be amazing.

@@imarealgloman9484 start coding before college. if you’re already decent with programming and some decent computer knowledge before starting CS it honestly isn’t that hard. just the math courses which you have to take for really any stem degree

@@zzzz-eh yeah, classes start soon though so its kind of a quick take on my end I dont have time to start coding first, I don’t want to wait another year to start school for personal reasons

@@zzzz-eh is it possible to start school and learn from scratch ?

@@imarealgloman9484 100% possible, although it will take a little more effort to maybe learn either the language you are learning in class or other languages outside of class in your free time
