How Long it Takes to Actually Learn How to Code 

Quality time is key too ...coding when you're at your best really helps

Great video Kenny... Your videos always help give me that perspective I need and some extra motivation too.. Much appreciated!

"the last 700 is the hardest part" i totally agree with that. now i building some project for portofolio but sometimes i go back on that 100 hour or 200 hour part. just like a circle. if any one experiencing the same thing, its okeyy. its part of learning to. if you fell depressed and felt like "can i do this? am i in the right path?" just take rest for one day, don't touch any coding ,focus on clearing your mind and after that try again tomorrow .trust me, you can do this. what you need is some refreshing.

Great to see you back Kenny with your programming tips.

Amazing video. This is the information that absolutely I was looking for!

Awesome. I finally found a real software developer and not like the other thousands who says you can easily learn code in 1 month bla. Like you mentioned if you have max time for that and could put the time and effort in without any distractions, I think it is possible. But anybody who has family and/or Full Time job don't have much time. But 1-3 hours a day I think is possible. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your content! :)

I am a 21 years old kenyan and i just began my coding journey,your videos are helping me alot bro...keep up the good work and bless up.

Amazing man such a great idea to learn how to code

Great video!

I got great job thx to motivators like you Kenny. But I have lots of experience now I use slow and thinking and above all use ideas around you max. On the project I work Industry job taken over yeah how to improve. Yes c# not too much exp but ChatGPT helps alot so I found overriding partially simulation to do all PLC Sharp/ at same time simulation since other side not awake with just one line change is interesting sometimes quality and awareness can be good knowledge! Listen is good!

I don't know how many hours I've been learning. But I can say its now over 1 year and 5 months. Learned the fundamentals with Python, learned the basics of SQL. Spent 1 year with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and did 2 months of React. Now since January focused on Django and I have to relearn SQL all over again but this time for SQLite3. Too much to learn!

Tnx bro , so useful

I took a break playing OSRS for almost 1 year to learn how to code and after that landed a job as agile software engineer. Now I am back at OSRS lol

I love udemy! I just started last week learning python and am having so much fun with it. Take your time everyone, and here's to the future programmers like me!

Thank you bro ❤. Can you give me the fundamental of js? ❤

As an beginner programmer, I agree.

I just find interesting all the paths of dev and I have a lot of ideas to create a project, but I personally don't know what path should I choose, I'm not sure if I go to one path will be a terrible stress or it will be a paradise, this is that I can't figure out 😢

i hope some 1 can answer this i was about to start a university degree of computer science and i signed up like 3 months before starting i got the books look at them i had a introduction to java course and math and some other stuff i decided id try pick up java on my own to get a headstart on school downloaded eclipse started watching youtube made a fully dedicated discord server with code/explanation and got consumed into 8-12 hours a day of studying/practicing at first i did 2-3 hours i didnt start the uni in the end and dropped out got my money and realized i can do this on my own cause i hate school frames and i am much better on my own my only issue is the lack of understanding grounds i don't know whats my lvl in a week and abit of studying i know Methods how to create how to use different classes different constructors(doubles int strings[methods also]) the whole varuable business,printf,if's switchs loops and orieanted loops wrapper classes nested loops logic operators i know arrays arraylists 2d all of that and some more things by know i mean i practiced it alot i really know understand and can recite this by heart What does all of this mean about me? what is my lvl because my java introduction book ended far before i even reached using different Classes,GUI's, and methods i am not sure what are my paths ahead i will keep going in my java course but i just can never understand whats the end goal how far in creating projects is it that "You are good" when do i pick up a second language perhaps a complimentary one for full stacking like python or html? or even grab a low lvl language like C? i am in the dark here

I'm able to manage 2 hours a day through the week and 4 on weekends so like 18 hours a week. trying to learn C # so I can work a program with Microsoft. Having a really hard time getting the fundamentals to make sense but have only invested like 20 hours total. I'll keep pushing

Dude I’m still playing RuneScape on and off haha you know you’ll return again soon 😂 wondering if that is what sparks our interest for Java

Bro I forgot your YT channel and finally found it. 😂

Good video but this is honestly just very briefly done people like me who want to be game dev, would like to know things like how to break that wall or climb it to write the code on your own and don’t copy them just

I know the video is a bit old, but I think to say that Malcolm Glad well didn't make up the 10000 hour rule, and, he didn't even really represent it that badly. The important thing is not to leave out the deliberate practice part of it.

I looked at my pomodoro tracker and I am at 1045 hours, I currently work as a junior dev and yeah I think the 1k mark is accurate, though I did feel ready maybe 2 months ago so a bit lower than 1000 hours.

Im playing runescape while watching and I feel called out

I think this idea of making it without a degree and being only self taught is a thing mostly exclusive to the US. Here in Norway and the nordics in general + probably in Germany no one is going to even consider you without a degree unless you've been killing it freelancing for years, have had solid internships or you are a child prodigy programmer since 8 years old as a hobby, no matter how component you are.

seems like im bit late to learn in the days of AI driven culture, I just realize coding is as like game of dunngeons or strategy AAA games like where you stuck, analyze, build & jump to a different level, pls help i think like i'm going crazy these days 😅

Kenny what's your Github?

it took me around 500 hours of android dev to learn enough for an internship, I'm a junior in college in cs so + that

the period you've been off was the hardest time of my life😂

50 hours course, half year has been past and i did only 35% of it. i'm probably doing something wrong

*were

Odin Project is about 1000 hours

Please I’m a newbie in this .. I need a mentor that’d be willing to teach me and help me get better at this .. I really wanna learn coding 🙏🙏🙏

Bro why do you look like Loki from Avengers?

Same.. But I wasted my time in CSGO.. I think i'ts about 9000-10000 hours. Now I'm learning frontend

in this time i guess it takes forever until u get a job, at least entry level job😂

'promosm'

"as far as I'm aware this idea doesn't have any scienific backing" Jesus Christ... the guy has access to the internet, his job is based on research skills, and he can't find information that would took 3 minutes?!

I think I'm on 1500 hours now

Coding is simple, thinking is hard. If you don't want to commit time to learn how to think like a programmer, just stop at print hello world.

I'm going to watch another "how to learn coding _in a specific amount of time"_ instead of actually start learning.

i'd spend 10, 000 hours and 10, 000 more Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try If it's 10, 000 hours or the rest of my life I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) 😎
