    It's about learning, coding, and generally how to get your sh*t together c:
    In this video, I give you my step by step process on how I would learn to code if I could start over again. I also provide you with some of my recommended resources, explain how to choose a project, and specific projects to do. Perhaps most importantly, I give you tips on adopting the correct mindset and mentality that will help you learn to code faster and become better faster (these were my mistakes).

    As a person who did struggle for 1 year to learn to code I would say: avoid most tutorials online, because many are too complicated. You need to walk before you can run, so learn basics first. Get on basic newbie friendly books first.
    Edit: For those asking, the books that made me learn and develop my coding skills were Javascript In Less Than 50 Pages and Head First Javascript Programming. Learning any other language and concept becomes much easier after you learn that.

    Here's the ultimate tip: Just build something, anything. Going through 20 tutorials wont get you anywhere, neither will learning the ins and outs of a bunch of frameworks. Software development is 90% conception, software architecture, talking to people and a bunch of planning anyways. No one is going to reject a great software developer because he never used Redux.

      There’s no such things as “Yah let me create a sudoku application!”. Open up your IDE and start coding it from scratch. You’re gonna end up staring at an empty editor with no idea on what to type. Especially if you are a beginner. Tutorials are a must when building a project. Learning how to google correct questions is also a very important skill to have. Anything that provides you insight on a specific topic is a good source of information.

    I started coding, or programming as we called in those days, at school in 1974 with a language called CESIL, which is sort of similar to assembly language. In those days schools didn't have computers so we wrote our code, tested it manually by doing "dry runs" and then transferred it to punch cards using a black pen to mark where the punch holes would be on blank cards. These got sent away to county hall to be run on their mainframe. A week later you got your printout back with your output which was never anything complicated. These days it's fantastic that anyone can get themselves started with python or similar language and get instant feedback and help to aid both their development and love of this discipline. Good luck to all those who are just starting out on this journey.

      Well then you are way less useful programmer than the one who has confident skills of programming, doing on your own, experimenting, solving problems without any help is how programmer becomes much better than the one who is just googling constantly and copy-pasting code, thinking that he understands the code but when he tries to use the same techniques in his different problem, then he find outs that he cant make it and end ups on checking his code how he did it before or again googling same problem. This fits for any categories of learning and mastering something.

    I got into programming because of gaming.
    I taught myself how to read the script languages of different games so understand how to edit the game files to change different aspects of the game. You could look at the lines of code in these script languages and slowly understand what it all meant and how it all interacted. I started with simple stuff like copying functions and then altering a few things, then progressed to combining functions into new ones, and eventually i'd learned intuitively a solid enough understanding to create my own functions. And the best part was, this wasn't just some in a vacuum for the purpose of learning, I was doing it because I was enjoying seeing the immediate impact on my work in boosting the entertainment value of some of my favorite games. What greater incentive could there be?
    So that is what got me started down the path and taught me concepts like functions, different types of variables, and so on. I became very proficient in several of these script languages, but the options they had available to them were rather limited compared to actual programming. Some games were designed specifically to be modded and had a lot more options and more complex systems, so as these moddable games got more complex, my understanding of programming concepts evolved as well. I still wasn't a real programmer at this point, I was just a modder.
    Eventually I stumbled on a game that was moddable, but it wasn't written in a script and instead was written in C++. So I learned a lot of it the same way I learned modding, simply by looking at existing code and figuring out what it did. I learned a great deal from that method, but eventually I had to start looking up how to do specific things. And all these years later, i'm a professional programmer.
    The biggest thing for me was motivation. I really really wanted to learn not because I had to, not because I wanted money, not for anything else, I learned exclusively because it allowed me to have more fun when playing the games I loved. I would spend hours every single day figuring out how to mod different effects into games. It's kind of funny because I would spend far more time working on something than I did actually playing with it or using it, because I became addicted to the modifications. I would test it, make sure it worked, but then I wasn't satisfied with stopping there to actually play with it usually, I wanted to push further and add more. But anyway, the motivation was the biggest part for my success. I love vidja games.

    I am a little late getting to this video, it was just suggested today. As a self-taught software engineer who has been doing this for ten years and now handles hiring at an eCommerce agency as the Director of Engineering, I cannot agree more with you on this video. This video is full of fantastic advice. That part about being immediately suspicious if code runs without an error the first time never, ever goes away. When I write anything if it runs without an error I immediately attach a debugger and walkthrough because I just assume I made a mistake ... this has saved me many times.
    Some tidbits I would add:
    1. Learn a version control system like Git
    2. Always, and I mean always, back up anything you are about to make changes to before you do.
    3. Accept someone else will always know more, become a sponge
    4. Learn to take critical feedback. It is not personal. When I review someone's code my feedback is always meant to make them a better engineer.
    Number 4 to me is critical. When I started out I came from a career as a chef, so I was used to getting very critical feedback. When I got my first reviews of my code in a professional setting the other more senior engineers were stunned when my response was, "Thank you, I will get these changes implemented." I had honed humility for years as a chef and it has served me well as an engineer.

    In the end, after giving myself a massive slap in the face, I am back with JavaScript. Just JavaScript, no frameworks, and that is my sole focus. Not front end, not back end, just to be a good JavaScript developer. Since I focused on this alone I have improved massively.

      Yes that is often talked about in psychology and neurologic type books. When you focus on a problem you get very stuck and fixated in a certain mindset. If you go sleep or distract yourself or anything "taking a break" wise, your brain keeps thinking about it subconsciously kind of, and gives you a fresh insight after you return to said problem. Kinda cool how your brain will keep solving even if you don't think about the problem actively!

For example, I utilized Discord the other day for the first time and within ten minutes a fellow coder jumped in and assisted me in a resolution in just a few minutes. I find answers on Reddit as well. More resources, more answers, amazing community out there.

    Great advice. I've been coding 21 years and I'm still learning new things all the time (a major reason I watched your video). One trap you can get into is getting too comfortable in a job. Then you stagnate and wither. It is better to try new things from time to time. I can't offer any better advice than you have. By the way, Stack Overflow is my go to place when I am stuck, which happens very often when I'm learning new things and sometimes when I'm improving on things I already know how to do.

      @carsanovadidrifto800 Před 2 lety +2

      Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the Bible, the
      One True God made You and I to worship him, obey Him, and enjoy Him forever. But You
      and I break His laws daily. You, like me, are not good at all in the eyes of God.
      ‘There is no one good, no not even one. (Romans3:10)
      ‘For all have sinned and fall short of The Glory of God’ (Romans 3:23)
      You have always done wrong in the eyes of God, this is a problem because Psalm 5:5 reads:
      ‘...You [GOD] hate all who do wrong.’
      ‘But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up
      wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will
      be revealed.’ Rom 5:5
      The person who sins is the one who will die. Ezekiel 18:20
      All these things and more are counted against us. God is the just judge of the world and one
      day
      He will settle the score for all the wrongs we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous
      (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and infinitely
      higher than us. Being a Good and Just Judge, God will punish You for all Your sin or wrongdoing in the world.
      This means that if You sin ONCE, God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good
      and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. So how can God forgive you and me of all our sins?
      But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and
      lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we
      deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed.
      The bible says that if you will repent
      (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross OUT OF HIS LOVE
      FOR YOU-(He took the wrath of God against you for your evil deeds and thoughts).
      Then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all
      who have believed in The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
      This is the true Gospel of Jesus:
      Jesus died( Bore the punishment for your evil sins and heart, so that you can be forgiven. He
      took your special spot in Hell) and on the third day, He rose from the grave(So that you can
      have true life and His spot next to The Real God.).
      Verses:
      ‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ
      Jesus.’ Rom3:24; ‘Because I Live You also shall Live’ Jhn14:19
      Get right with God today, don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgment. It's the
      most important thing you can do. If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross for
      You then you will be born again. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the
      beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like
      obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying, and going to
      church, you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you
      know you have been forgiven?
      That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this, and most importantly please take at least 5 minutes a day to read the Bible. Start in 'Matthew'.
      An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping
      and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is
      infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You
      decide. [ *Truth is independent of human conviction, meaning that what you believe does not change the fact that Jesus is your only Hope* .]
      Have a great day!

      ​@@irvinbustillos4054 lol I went to college to learn to program. had to leave after 5 months because my grades were bad and insufficient. if I didnt leave I would 1. fail the year and 2. lose all the money I had to pay to college. ( you get all your money back if you quit the first half of the year.)
      now I dont know if I will ever learn coding.

    Thank you for this video. I'm in my late forties and haven't done programming / coding since the days of BASIC and Pascal. Recently I've felt the urge to get back into it, and it's overwhelmingly confusing without a bit of guidance. Your video has helped and I feel better about having chosen to learn Python first. Thanks again!!

    from my experience teaching people to code, most people have an issue with coming up with projects and finishing projects. it seems to be one of the largest obstacles, it takes a particular mindset that many people are just not that interested in. It is similar in music, many people can learn to play an instrument and read sheet music, but it takes a particular interest to learn to write songs and improvise, and most musicians are not interested in that.
