Something that really helps me: learning the same topic from multiple sources. Each source fills in the gaps of the others, and repeatedly exposing yourself to an explanation of a single concept will make it feel easy once you've heard it the third or fourth time. DON'T stress about remembering every little thing, just expose yourself to the ideas a few times and understand it as well as you can (without pushing you brain too hard) each time, and they will sink in on their own. Reach for "low hanging fruit" i.e. the things that are easiest for you to understand. They build on each other, and sooner than you think, you'll be able to understand those "harder" concepts, if you just focus on all the easy ones. In a way, you only ever have to try to learn things that are easy for you to learn.
Very good advice. I’m a victim of over-learning without implementing, and taking too detailed notes. My advice back to you is stick with what you love. Don’t be tempted by the Management ladder. You risk becoming a mile wide and an inch deep in technical knowledge.
same exactly the same stuck with perfection towards a course and not having the goal oriented mindset flipping the script - goal (project) oriented study and less information gain
I legit feel this right now. A friend shared the video and I am so amazed at how everything feels like me. The slump period is longer than the time I spend learning. I keep feeling like I need to rest but then at the back of my mind, I know I haven't learnt enough.
This may be the most groundbreaking video not just for learning technical things but if you want to be an autodidact. This is spot on possibly the best advice to give someone learning something on their own.
This video perfectly articulates what I’ve been struggling with. The solution of “learning enough” and project based learning is the ultimate path towards growth. Thanks so much for this 🙏
One of the biggest leaps that helped me is "don't talk about it". It's important to learn how to utilize energy and understanding how to store it for use later on. When we talk about things we release the energy in a non-productive way.
I agree & don't agree in the same time. I used to help some foreign student learning french and, just asking them where they were in their learning was putting them in the "Accountability" zone indirectly. I think that, having a little group that boost each other on those term, even if you don't learnt he same subject is really cool. Some friends have a group where, every two weeks, they show and explain what their learn to other.

You're only being reasonable with your assumption, do you think that the guy who looked at the diode and said it can be far brighter was a reasonable person or someone who looked at it without knowing how impossible it was? Today they're common and known as l.e.d. That was a major leap from the incandescent light bulb. The issue with light bulbs was the filament, diode made light and lasted a really long time but the filament made contact with the shell where a incandescent bulb did not so the glass didn't burn.
Yes John.i am practicing this also,don't talk about it. I realize that I am telling others about my progress because I seek approval for my hard work. It is a way for me to get satisfaction before I have completed my work,which is a copout for myself and bad for discipline. The only satisfaction I should seek is from myself from completing my goals. 👍👍
@@bmejia220 It's not easy for anyone. There can come a time of confluence if you continue to move forward and accept that you can only choose the direction of the very moment that presents itself. Define your future with detail as best you can and as you progress it will become possible to refine those ideas as they materialize. Accept failure as a opportunity for you to Google a correct resolution, failure is the easiest thing to fix if you can accept you are wrong.

Honestly - thank You from the bottom of my heart. Here are my takeaways: 1. Learning just enough to make a project you are interested in. 2. Staying motivated by linking the learning with realisation of your deep needs and imaging the alternative cost. 3. Not feeling guilty of learning other stuff within the domain instead of completing a course you feel irrelevant to your goal, your project. 4. Watching lecture in double speed to grasp the general point and noting down the high-level logic instead of writing about every detail. Write concepts as a framework of connected elements and feel okay with leaving gaps in this puzzle. 5. Connecting with people around the topic, if possible. Linking your responsibility to others, to feel obligated before them. 6. Iterate the elements of learning and practically implementing the knowledge.

Thank you so much! I could get more through your notes than watching the video itself. I like Tina, but she can make videos kinda distractive sometimes.
When I was studying I focused too much on passive learning of theory but my project work was minimal. I did enough to graduate, but I was in over my head in my first job and hated it. I actually changed careers for a few years. But now I'm back on track and love learning and solving problems. Love your videos! 😀
Agreed. Learn the concepts in 1 - 2 hours through documentation or videos then spend the remaining time in building projects. This can be in the form of courses or CZcams video or blog post. One more thing that you can do while watching this courses is to build something on your own before watching the video. Example if you are going to build a navbar, perhaps try to build it on your own first before watching the video on how to build it. If you are stuck , try to research it. If still stuck for more than 2 hours, then continue watching the video for the solution. End of the day, is the effort on exercising your brain that matters. Even if you don't solve the issue, at least you would spent time researching things and filling some gaps up in your knowledge. This has helped throughout my career as a dev.
100% correct! Thanks! I was "trying to learn to code" for several years, but it only started to stick this year because: 1. The pre-research of knowing what coding language was used for what and what the capabilities was essential to knowing what direction(language) to focus on. 2. Some of my job developed in a direction where if I knew Python it would be much easier and I'd get better outcomes. 3. Several other side projects formed in my mind where I *needed* to know python to deliver them. 4. Instead of structured courses I just watched CZcamsrs like you... it helped me build my own developer environment much better and the variety of approaches and angles helped me generalise.
Aaah, I am a beginner but I am sooo glad that there's someone that thinks like you because for me it's the same, I think you learn better by doing projects, otherwise you'd be stuck in learning, learning, learning and that'd be and endless loop and when you'd do a project, most of the things are forgotten and then you have to do the same again.
Thank you, Tina. I've been following your channel on and off since I started my data analytics/programming journey in the middle of the pandemic; I tend to get discouraged, but with every new challenge, I always feel better when I return to this video.
“If you believe it’ll work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you don’t believe it’ll work out, you’ll see obstacles.” - Wayne Dyer Sharing some love with ya all, have a delightful day
You have got the best language to impact the mind. Your explanation for accountability as "being compounded by consistency and habit", hits differently. Thank you Tina!
Your videos are so positive I love it so much. You’re always like “you can do it” or “that course is great enough”. Thank you. It calms my panicky mind.
Thank you for your kindness to share the tips Tina! I was thinking about to give up and not going to do everything cuz I've tried everything to learn and done the course but still yet failure comes to me slowly. And here i'm watching this video that explains me in detail how to learn effectively and efficiently. The key of learning is creating a framework that helps you connect the concept of everything. May all the good things always come to you Tina! Enjoy your journey of your life! Sorry my english is so bad;')
after some of my own tried and true experiences I realize how honest your channel is all about. like I knew something was wrong with the way I was doing and I was able to pinpoint the mistakes but then I wasn't so very sure that it WAS indeed the should-not-do. I love the way you clear my doubts by saying things like don't be overlearning and don't feel like you need to complete every single course and book to be actually ready on board 🤟
Tina, you're just amazing and I love your videos!!! I'm a beginner in the field and a lot of times i get stuck wondering how should I approach a dataset. I'd love to see a video or a new series on your channel on how you tackle a project from beginning to end. Thank you for existing hahahahaha ❤️
Great advise Tina! I have to be honest and admit that I became a victim of taking lots of courses. It's really important what you said about doing projects because this will give you a more practical perspective of what you learned. Courses just give you the base of what you need to build great projects. Thanks for giving such an amazing video, I wish I had this video once I started my Data Science journey 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
I really needed this piece of advice. For many years I have struggled in coding and learning new technologies, but now I understand what I am wrong at. Thank you for bringing clarity and sharing your inputs with us.
I wish i could go back in time and show myself this video... But now, after going through so many trials, i can feel it all on my own skin. It's so amazing to hear your own thoughts from another person, thank you, very inspiring speech!
You're amazing!! This is exactly what I needed. I'm just starting out on the web dev path with zero coding experience and your whole approach makes so much sense. I found myself getting caught up in my old ways of learning (i.e. lots of notes, details etc.) and your vid was divine timing for me:-) I'm literally working on a coding project due Monday...lol. Thanks again and wishing you all the best!
What fantastic advice (and taste in anime). I am at that doldrums stage, having finished my Google data analysis certification, but currently grabbing courses because I felt like I didn’t know enough of certain things. I found myself nodding my head a lot to this video. I walked away from this feeling much better about myself and what to do next. Thank you for this!
this is like Nail to my head, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of courses and never finish them and also always side tracked by the tiny details of what the command or the tags in the commands do. Thank you!
Tina...you SO understand me! Thank you for the TRUE PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR 2021!!! I sure hope your videos sets the trend on how to structure "practical guides" to the absolute bare necessities to catalyst anybody into the momentum to then take off on our own following your "framework" principles. Keep up "The good fight!". - M
This video is awesome. I totally agree. The best way to learn is through experience. When you have a project you're going to face things that don't be present in a course or tutorial.
in brief: This video discusses a framework for learning technical skills more effectively and efficiently through project-based learning. The framework consists of three main steps: -learning just enough, -doing a project and iterating, -and ensuring accountability. 1. Learn just enough: Instead of getting overwhelmed by numerous resources, choose one or two introductory courses or books to learn the basic concepts and terminologies of the skill you want to acquire. It doesn't matter which course you pick, as long as it's high quality. 2. Do a project and iterate: The real learning starts with doing a project, which helps you practice real-life implementation. After completing a project, continue doing more projects to fill in the gaps in your knowledge and dive deeper into the subject matter. Learning is a cyclical process. 3. Accountability: Create consequences for yourself to push through tough times and avoid giving up. This can be achieved through introspection, identifying what truly matters to you, and creating habits to help you stay committed to your goals. An optional upgrade to the framework is to find a project first, which can help answer the question of when you've learned enough to start doing a project. This can be done by getting a job in the desired field or setting up a project with consequences that matter to you. The video emphasizes the importance of project-based learning for acquiring technical skills, focusing on implementation, and practicing to truly master a skill. The speaker shares their own experiences and provides examples of how this framework has helped them succeed in learning and applying new skills.
Much needed. I have been stuck in tutorial hell and I am finally realizing that I need to create something in order to be more efficient. Thank you. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Your advice is helpful. I have been passive learning and when trying to implement a project on my own, I get stuck and do not know how to proceed. I switched to a project based learning style, and wow it has helped out a lot. I learned how to apply the concepts and have seen the real world use cases. Always follow project based learning!
Great video! When a friend of mine told me she wanted to learn how to code, I recommended that she learn through projects instead of online courses. It's nice that I have a more formal definition of it now.
Great content Tina! Thanks for your motivation. I’ve been struggling with that barrier between beginner and intermediate in Python and SQL. It’d be amazing if you could show us how to pick a meaningful project and tackle it, as there are so many options. Thanks again ❤️.
Your videos are so awesome! I've been looking for this topic for so long, watched a lot of videos, but yours it's simply what I needed. Thank you Tina for sharing this super useful tips.
I’ve been taking a network + class , I’ve been pretty interested in this class lately. It’s keeps the gears turning . I’m learning about subnet mask and I really enjoy it.
Every second of this video made so much sense! I watched this when I needed it the most ( currently levelling up in Python ) . Thanks for this amazing content and motivation among all the other super cool ones in your channel! Your consistency and habit definitely impacts the audience to a greater extent than you think 🙂🙂
Also, getting familiar with lingo really helps. Like just knowing the words and what they mean and have a bit of an idea where they are normally used (even though you don't understand it well enough) is really helpful in order to learn things.
You made it sound so easy, I wouldn't say that this is not the most efficient and yet so "logical" way to learn but yeah sticking to it and not losing your motivations is another hard task to do. After all self-learning is a big long journey still struggling to find myself in it and maintain it, if anyone can help by sharing their experiences i'd be really happy about it.
Not that I have achieved what you are talking about, but ... I think the key is to spend time stepping away and letting yourself feel more deeply what things motivate you the most, and to figure those out consciously; it might need to be done more than once -- and then to try and discover (sometimes non-obvious) ways to remind yourself of those things, then make a habit to consciously look at those reminders regularly. Partly this is a kind of self-care -- deliberate, conscious effort directed towards the (hopeful) benefit of your future self. A simple example might be photo of the person we're doing those things for, on our desk; or a photo of a big belly on the fridge, if we are trying to lose weight. Or phone notifications (perhaps at slightly random times, so you don't just mindlessly cancel it every morning). But the key part is spending enough time away from the activity, perhaps on a regular basis, to appreciate what you are doing it for. I think that for some people, part of this motivation is etched into their lifetime experience; and for others, it is not so clear and we have to work towards it.
Im like started to curious about the YT recommendation system, it keep pushing Tina's video to me and I never watched, but when I click I instantly love it, amazing!
Simple yet effective points .... Enjoyed the way you express the emotions... I've been through these, could see myself there 😀 "Learn what is enough to complete the project" not everything since we feel overwhelmed easily... And gradually give up... Good point...
That's what we learn on Junior Enterprises (we have that on college here in Brazil). You get a real project that someone is paying for, and a deadline, and it's up to you to deliver the result wheter you know what you're doing or not 😅
Hello Tina! Awesome work like always and you inspired me to start with classes on udemy. Really long course but hoopefully worth it in the end. Can't expect to learn skills over 1 day but psu yourself in finding methods that makes you get a grip of what you're about to face surely feels awarding! Also a note that I'm studying towards becoming a Digital analyst but gotta say that Data science feels more appealing! Stay awesome!
This is my first video from you and it's really motivated me to get myself going through my transition from a mechanical engineering background to coding!
this video is so good that it explains a lot why I failed consistently on research and project learning. I love it, and the whole content is helpful to me. Thanks a lot!
oh my im so glad i found your channel, im currently studying pharma science, i mean i love science, but im starting to get interested in data and finance too! I was thinking of branching out and learning something data related :D
This is truely helpful. Its like you listed out all neccessary requirements on succeeding in the level of fully enjoying data science. Thumps up and well appreciated.
Thanks Tina, I was stuck on that bait trap of taking notes for every single syntax. I wasn't going anywhere with it and you kind of showed me that it is not the correct way in another video.. Thanks and love what you doing...!!❤
This was awesome advice and summed up all the mistakes I made learning programming (e.g. copious notes, being married to a single resource, and not quickly starting a preferably on-the-job project to get hands-on training) :)
I am happy I learnt that (profpiperr on IG) can help you with your assignments and essays. The services are great and my grades have significantly improved. ^^^
Hi Tina. Thanks for sharing this video! I recently started learning SQL with ZERO background in any programming languages, though the tips you've shared makes learning SQL less daunting. Keep it up sis!
Boy o boy!!!. I always find myself trying to understand every tiny basics then i get stuck and go to another course and iterate and...now, I've seen your video. Thanks Tina
Thank you so much for your video! It is refreshing and enlightening. As a student majoring in statistics, I finally see why I suck at coding... It's because they are two totally different mindsets and learning frameworks! Also, I really want to ask what should stat students learn by themselves if they want to pursue a career as a data scientist? What kind of coding skills are most needed?
This is just perfect, I do all those things now but I had to figure them out through years of experience. I wish I found this video 3 years earlier, it would have saved a lot of time.
thanks for making this great video and sharing your valuable information . the optional upgrade part starting 10:26 was awesome . the idea of picking the project and then learning was unique and I loved it . definitely gonna try that out . thanks again !

I do this by reading different on the same topic, often at the same level of knowledge.
So true! Re-exposure can make learning almost inevitable, and solidifying foundations makes more advanced topics that much easier.
Yesss I do this too- take 3 or 4 courses on the same language and it really helps answer all the questions

Learntocodecamp and the code wars website and maybe stack flow, also mimo a coding app and also solo learn another app.
Think of an app, site, game you want it to be better and improve upon it. Or just think of something you want or a problem you have.

I love what you said about learning not being a linear process. I’m about to start my first project I really needed to hear that today. Thank you.

This is a lot like language immersion learning. Learn the basics then dive right in.
You have got the best language to impact the mind. Your explanation for accountability as "being compounded by consistency and habit", hits differently.
Thank you Tina!
Your videos are so positive I love it so much. You’re always like “you can do it” or “that course is great enough”. Thank you. It calms my panicky mind.
Yay I’m so happy to hear that 🥰
lol.. i love how she says "goal appears terribly far and bed looks more and more comfortable". That is soo true.
Where were you my whole college life? So relatable. Just what I needed. I will surely practise this framework
Thank you for your kindness to share the tips Tina! I was thinking about to give up and not going to do everything cuz I've tried everything to learn and done the course but still yet failure comes to me slowly. And here i'm watching this video that explains me in detail how to learn effectively and efficiently. The key of learning is creating a framework that helps you connect the concept of everything. May all the good things always come to you Tina! Enjoy your journey of your life! Sorry my english is so bad;')
after some of my own tried and true experiences I realize how honest your channel is all about. like I knew something was wrong with the way I was doing and I was able to pinpoint the mistakes but then I wasn't so very sure that it WAS indeed the should-not-do. I love the way you clear my doubts by saying things like don't be overlearning and don't feel like you need to complete every single course and book to be actually ready on board 🤟

Tina, you're just amazing and I love your videos!!!
I'm a beginner in the field and a lot of times i get stuck wondering how should I approach a dataset. I'd love to see a video or a new series on your channel on how you tackle a project from beginning to end.
Thank you for existing hahahahaha ❤️
Great advise Tina! I have to be honest and admit that I became a victim of taking lots of courses. It's really important what you said about doing projects because this will give you a more practical perspective of what you learned. Courses just give you the base of what you need to build great projects. Thanks for giving such an amazing video, I wish I had this video once I started my Data Science journey 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
I really needed this piece of advice. For many years I have struggled in coding and learning new technologies, but now I understand what I am wrong at. Thank you for bringing clarity and sharing your inputs with us.
I wish i could go back in time and show myself this video... But now, after going through so many trials, i can feel it all on my own skin. It's so amazing to hear your own thoughts from another person, thank you, very inspiring speech!
You're amazing!! This is exactly what I needed. I'm just starting out on the web dev path with zero coding experience and your whole approach makes so much sense. I found myself getting caught up in my old ways of learning (i.e. lots of notes, details etc.) and your vid was divine timing for me:-) I'm literally working on a coding project due Monday...lol. Thanks again and wishing you all the best!
What about now?
What fantastic advice (and taste in anime). I am at that doldrums stage, having finished my Google data analysis certification, but currently grabbing courses because I felt like I didn’t know enough of certain things. I found myself nodding my head a lot to this video. I walked away from this feeling much better about myself and what to do next. Thank you for this!
this is like Nail to my head, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of courses and never finish them and also always side tracked by the tiny details of what the command or the tags in the commands do.
Thank you!
Tina...you SO understand me! Thank you for the TRUE PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR 2021!!! I sure hope your videos sets the trend on how to structure "practical guides" to the absolute bare necessities to catalyst anybody into the momentum to then take off on our own following your "framework" principles. Keep up "The good fight!". - M
This video is awesome. I totally agree. The best way to learn is through experience. When you have a project you're going to face things that don't be present in a course or tutorial.
in brief:
This video discusses a framework for learning technical skills more effectively and efficiently through project-based learning.
The framework consists of three main steps:
-learning just enough,
-doing a project and iterating,
-and ensuring accountability.
1. Learn just enough: Instead of getting overwhelmed by numerous resources, choose one or two introductory courses or books to learn the basic concepts and terminologies of the skill you want to acquire.
It doesn't matter which course you pick, as long as it's high quality.
2. Do a project and iterate: The real learning starts with doing a project, which helps you practice real-life implementation.
After completing a project, continue doing more projects to fill in the gaps in your knowledge and dive deeper into the subject matter.
Learning is a cyclical process.
3. Accountability: Create consequences for yourself to push through tough times and avoid giving up.
This can be achieved through introspection, identifying what truly matters to you, and creating habits to help you stay committed to your goals.
An optional upgrade to the framework is to find a project first, which can help answer the question of when you've learned enough to start doing a project.
This can be done by getting a job in the desired field or setting up a project with consequences that matter to you.
The video emphasizes the importance of project-based learning for acquiring technical skills, focusing on implementation, and practicing to truly master a skill.
The speaker shares their own experiences and provides examples of how this framework has helped them succeed in learning and applying new skills.
Thanks gpt
Much needed. I have been stuck in tutorial hell and I am finally realizing that I need to create something in order to be more efficient. Thank you. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Your advice is helpful. I have been passive learning and when trying to implement a project on my own, I get stuck and do not know how to proceed. I switched to a project based learning style, and wow it has helped out a lot. I learned how to apply the concepts and have seen the real world use cases. Always follow project based learning!
Great video! When a friend of mine told me she wanted to learn how to code, I recommended that she learn through projects instead of online courses. It's nice that I have a more formal definition of it now.
Great content Tina! Thanks for your motivation. I’ve been struggling with that barrier between beginner and intermediate in Python and SQL. It’d be amazing if you could show us how to pick a meaningful project and tackle it, as there are so many options. Thanks again ❤️.
Actually, and At sometimes we feel that we r just copying things and doing nothing our own.
honestly you don't get to do 'real' things untill you get an internship or job
This is the way I’ve been studying, and I always wondered if it was the best way. So it was nice to hear other people do the same.
Your videos are so awesome! I've been looking for this topic for so long, watched a lot of videos, but yours it's simply what I needed. Thank you Tina for sharing this super useful tips.
Can your shadow clones learn python for you? Is that the secret?
😱😱 that would be the key to life
That's an amazing Idea. I am going to give it a try. 😎
In my case, clones would just double up the procastination only
tho if you are lazy then clones would be too and all of you would just procrastinate anyway
if only that was true ..... for this universe 🙃
I’ve been taking a network + class , I’ve been pretty interested in this class lately. It’s keeps the gears turning . I’m learning about subnet mask and I really enjoy it.
It is genuinely refreshing to see an honest and open person on CZcams.
Learn it. Master it. Don’t give up. Very timely, I need to hear! Thanks for sharing Tina🥰
Every second of this video made so much sense! I watched this when I needed it the most ( currently levelling up in Python ) . Thanks for this amazing content and motivation among all the other super cool ones in your channel! Your consistency and habit definitely impacts the audience to a greater extent than you think 🙂🙂
Hey.. could you pls help me for python 🙂
thanks, i really hit the wall trying to learn graphic design and japanese on my own. this helps a lot! 💕
Not wanting to disappoint people/keeping your promises is a hallmark of conscientiousness
Also, getting familiar with lingo really helps. Like just knowing the words and what they mean and have a bit of an idea where they are normally used (even though you don't understand it well enough) is really helpful in order to learn things.
THIS VIDEO CAME RIGHT IN TIME!!! THANK UUU
You made it sound so easy, I wouldn't say that this is not the most efficient and yet so "logical" way to learn but yeah sticking to it and not losing your motivations is another hard task to do. After all self-learning is a big long journey still struggling to find myself in it and maintain it, if anyone can help by sharing their experiences i'd be really happy about it.
haha I totally get that - it's why I do my study with me livestreams! It's how I get myself out of bed :)
Not that I have achieved what you are talking about, but ... I think the key is to spend time stepping away and letting yourself feel more deeply what things motivate you the most, and to figure those out consciously; it might need to be done more than once -- and then to try and discover (sometimes non-obvious) ways to remind yourself of those things, then make a habit to consciously look at those reminders regularly. Partly this is a kind of self-care -- deliberate, conscious effort directed towards the (hopeful) benefit of your future self. A simple example might be photo of the person we're doing those things for, on our desk; or a photo of a big belly on the fridge, if we are trying to lose weight. Or phone notifications (perhaps at slightly random times, so you don't just mindlessly cancel it every morning). But the key part is spending enough time away from the activity, perhaps on a regular basis, to appreciate what you are doing it for. I think that for some people, part of this motivation is etched into their lifetime experience; and for others, it is not so clear and we have to work towards it.
Randomly came across this video, but after watching this i would say i needed this badly. This is so helpful
I found your videos while prepping for product manager interviews. Great learning advice and also translates to other areas of life.
" The consequences of giving up is more painful than pushing through it " ‼️
This is the video I never knew existed that I absolutely need! Currently trying to learn financial modelling
Im like started to curious about the YT recommendation system, it keep pushing Tina's video to me and I never watched, but when I click I instantly love it, amazing!
Thank you! This has possibly been the most helpful video I've seen in months.
Simple yet effective points .... Enjoyed the way you express the emotions...
I've been through these, could see myself there 😀
"Learn what is enough to complete the project" not everything since we feel overwhelmed easily... And gradually give up...
Good point...
I love how each section has its own music that differentiate one another, very detail
You are right just noticed it
This was actually helpful while i am starting tech consulting. ‘Doing by learning’ is perhaps the key :)
This was literally one of the most informative videos I’ve watched! Thank you!
That's what we learn on Junior Enterprises (we have that on college here in Brazil). You get a real project that someone is paying for, and a deadline, and it's up to you to deliver the result wheter you know what you're doing or not 😅
Hello Tina! Awesome work like always and you inspired me to start with classes on udemy. Really long course but hoopefully worth it in the end. Can't expect to learn skills over 1 day but psu yourself in finding methods that makes you get a grip of what you're about to face surely feels awarding! Also a note that I'm studying towards becoming a Digital analyst but gotta say that Data science feels more appealing!
Stay awesome!
This is my first video from you and it's really motivated me to get myself going through my transition from a mechanical engineering background to coding!
this video is so good that it explains a lot why I failed consistently on research and project learning. I love it, and the whole content is helpful to me. Thanks a lot!
This is the second video I've watched by you. Excellent content! Really enjoyed it. Thank you beautiful lady and have a great day!
Thank you! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them 😊
@@TinaHuang1 very much so. Thank you for making them!
oh my im so glad i found your channel, im currently studying pharma science, i mean i love science, but im starting to get interested in data and finance too! I was thinking of branching out and learning something data related :D
Finance, Data and Phar, the perfect combination for the pharm-industry. You'll surely get a job.
This is truely helpful. Its like you listed out all neccessary requirements on succeeding in the level of fully enjoying data science. Thumps up and well appreciated.
The content about self study is fantastic. This is something that has always been a struggle. Feels like there’s a bit of direction now.😊🙏
If you use the practices of Agile in your daily life, you can get so much work done. I study using the Kanban board and Jira
as a coder, I totally approve your framework :)
Thanks Tina, I was stuck on that bait trap of taking notes for every single syntax. I wasn't going anywhere with it and you kind of showed me that it is not the correct way in another video..
Thanks and love what you doing...!!❤
This was awesome advice and summed up all the mistakes I made learning programming (e.g. copious notes, being married to a single resource, and not quickly starting a preferably on-the-job project to get hands-on training) :)
Someone finally made a video about this ,
This is what I did with , c++ python and c#
Thank you for making this video. It's given me lots of ideas on how I can learn Python.
Thank you, Tina, for taking the time to make this video! Have a happy new year!!
This is the most useful advice I've ever seen in CZcams
LOL!! That Naruto got me subsribin' 🤣 and for me it's also 2 weeks after intense focus in learning how to code then binge watching Naruto
Same
Udemy is fun…the future of learning…I can see more fields of careers having an app like Udemy.
I am happy I learnt that (profpiperr on IG) can help you with your assignments and essays. The services are great and my grades have significantly improved. ^^^
Awesome sharing Tina!! Learning just enough and start focusing on projects is what I need. Thank you so much 💯
Hi Tina. Thanks for sharing this video! I recently started learning SQL with ZERO background in any programming languages, though the tips you've shared makes learning SQL less daunting. Keep it up sis!
Boy o boy!!!. I always find myself trying to understand every tiny basics then i get stuck and go to another course and iterate and...now, I've seen your video. Thanks Tina
Thank you so much for your video! It is refreshing and enlightening. As a student majoring in statistics, I finally see why I suck at coding... It's because they are two totally different mindsets and learning frameworks!
Also, I really want to ask what should stat students learn by themselves if they want to pursue a career as a data scientist? What kind of coding skills are most needed?
This is just perfect, I do all those things now but I had to figure them out through years of experience. I wish I found this video 3 years earlier, it would have saved a lot of time.
thanks for making this great video and sharing your valuable information . the optional upgrade part starting 10:26 was awesome . the idea of picking the project and then learning was unique and I loved it . definitely gonna try that out . thanks again !
Hi Tina! The Chronic Coder thing sounds super interesting, I will definitely be waiting to hear more details about what you're planning for over there.
I'm so happy to hear that! :) We're working hard on it and I will update ASAP. In the meantime, you can check out our current cohort here: www.notion.so/Chronic-Coder-Academy-Season-3-dbd4a42c517a4902b345a7fb7287cedf
@@TinaHuang1 Oooh... I have to say, that looks pretty intense and maybe a bit intimidating. I'll wait until you're ready to announce more details about this, but it does have me wondering about what kinds of backgrounds the participants need to have, and whether there will be roles for people who are weaker in their front end/back end development skills.
@@TinaHuang1 this is super exciting. Would love to be part of next projects/seasons. How does that work?
Smart. Helpful. Adorable. You’re amazing!
Aww thank you 😊
OMG FINALLY!! It's like the universe felt bad for me and helped me find you. This is only the second vid I've watched on your channel and I am relieved you so get the turmoil and struggle. Very insightful and helpful. I was really starting to lose it. Thank you! 😁🥰
I definitely needed this video. I'm turning on my post notifications for your channel and tuning into your lives.
I feel much better now Knowing I'm not Alone In this struggle!
When I heard "I'm gonna learn python" I thought holy shit what a coincidence,
Then Naruto came up on screen and I felt personally attacked, lol
Tina is a sage! There's such profound wisdom in her videos.
Motivation that I really needed for a while ❤️ thank you so much Tina
