FIRST!! How many days a week do you code for yourself? How many hours each day?

@adamabdullah5177 4 года назад

Yes l need your mail

@itsrasterize8898 4 года назад

I really want to study again front end development coding in 8hrs a day

@davecarter4129 4 года назад

I'm in CSC-201, and only have been coding for about 4 months, so I definitely code a lot more due to keeping up with homework and programs. But I code on average 1-3 hours everyday.

@davecarter4129 4 года назад

Congrats on 100k btw bro!

@DeathGuy2012 4 года назад

About 3-4 hours at least 4 times a week but usually 5 or 6. And I just glance and review code on the days I don't plan to code.

"it's not about motivation, it’s about discipline" I seriously needed that. Thanks.

@zednik8956 4 года назад

What i did in order to become better at coding is to generate a schedule and keep a 2 day rule where i can take a day off but i cant take two days off. This allows me to be able to stick to habits easier and after a while you start to proactively avoid having to go two days without

@lauroperezjr 4 года назад

I totally agree you only get better is with practice and consistent development! Starting with the smallest amount of coding daily to build up a habit is a great way to make it second nature to keep coding daily even when life has other plans. I love using coding challenges and competitive programming to do small micro programming tasks that help me reinforce algorithms, data structures etc. Awesome video!

@zachlafferty823 4 года назад

Learning is like compound interest. When you’re consistent with it even when the material gets challenging, the knowledge becomes that more valuable towards your skillset. Solid content spreading the “Forrest” of good software development tips and tricks.

@eliasgranse1481 4 года назад

Great video! I totally agree on having to be consistent with your programming in order to improve and learn. As mentioned in the video, going to a class keeps you accountable. Another way is to learn with a friend, that way you keep each other accountable :)

@MSHOCKER2 4 года назад

This videos is awesome. At times learning to code can be so difficult and overwhelming that you can find yourself thinking that maybe your not smart enough or etc.. This video is spot on about just coding more and doing it more consistently. Thats how you get good at anything. That's how you develop a passion.

Forrest, I am taking your advice. I want to be a great programmer and from now on, I will implement your idea of spending at least an hour to improving and honing my skill as a programmer. Whether that be coding a bunch of practice problems online, or creating my own problems and debugging them, or simply watching programming videos. One hour a day, everyday. Thank you.

@sparkhungry2575 3 года назад

Most of these points of disciple and consistency are definitely up there and will always be in terms of how to get better at coding. A personal experience of mine is to consciously make yourself look at the 'why' of whatever functionality that you are implementing and keep coming back to it from a perspective of where it fits in the bigger scheme of things. This makes you present your solution (as needed in most programming teams) in terms that are better understood by most of the people involved. You could keep learning new ways, libraries, frameworks, programming paradigms, languages etc but it's best translated (in my experience) when it's understood even by all members of the team, especially those don't possess the programming know-how of things but can understand terms like 'speed', 'reduced steps/clicks', 'reusability', 'improved Developer Experience' etc

@DoubleKlutch99 4 года назад

This has been useful, especially when you said that you tend to put money up for something, you tend to take it seriously; I just recently joined a Coding Boot Camp at one of the bigger Universities here in Ohio and we start in May. I had bought plenty of Udemy courses when they were all on sale for like 10 or 20 dollars and I just couldn't find the willingness to complete any of them. However, this coding boot camp is a big chunk of change so I'll probably take it a bit more serious

@SaintTrinasTorch 4 года назад

Watching this excites me so much because I just started my journey in learning Python! It's only been about a week, but I think I'm obsessed.. Part of me wishes I knew someone that was learning Python, so that I could bounce back ideas and questions.

So this is a different topic question. I have 14 months left of my GI Bill, and I’ve been debating on finishing my computer Science degree, or going to a fourteen month Coding Bootcamp in Denver to learn Front and Back end Engineering. I still have two years of school left, but I’ve been thinking of just going to a coding bootcamp now, and finishing school after. Any recommendations?
