- I received a comment recently inquiring about learning ALL the skills required to be a competent software engineer like front-end, back-end, APIs, Cloud, Servers, HTTP, etc.
How do you learn it all? What courses or steps do you take to reach that plateau?
In this video, I want to not only give you three practical steps to learning it all, but I want to address a big problem we have in our modern self-taught developer journies.
Tune in!

I've just figured out that the "DB" at MongoDB means database. I'm getting there. One flash of insight at a time.
It actually stands for Dongo Bongo

Trust me, This is the Most Honest & Exact Career path for all those who want to start out in Tech. Thank you Travis
Hi, as a beginner who wants to switch careers to programming, I find this video is so helpful. Honestly, I am kinda overwhelmed by so many things that I have to learn this time, and watching this video relieves me to take everything step by step and be persistent to learn things one by one. and yeah... I honestly don't know when will I reach to that point where I can master everything and apply for a job... but I guess... I just have to start it now :") bismillah...
I think one thing that is broke in our industry is that people forget the saying a jack of all trades and a master of none. Try to learn the basics in each area, but pick one or two areas to master. Most of other industries realize that it takes a team to build complex projects. In construction you have general contractor and he can practically build a shack or small house by himself or with his crew, but when it comes to a large mansion or a commercial building complex, he will need to call in specialists for each area. For small software projects a person can do everything, but for highly complex systems you need specialists. So pick at least one area to specialize in and concentrate on mastering that area.
Good advice!
no, people forget the full original quote. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one"
@@the_god_killah That's why I said "saying" and not quote. The "saying" comes from my Dad's generation and I heard it when I was a kid over 50 years ago. The meaning of the saying is you cannot master everything and for critical systems, you need an expert not a generalist.
Thanks bro....
Thanks Travis, awesome video once again. I can't agree more with the first point, a MASTER course is so important to gain thorough knowledge of the things you want to learn. So happy to see Angela's face because I'm currently on Day33 of "100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2023", and I need to say, her courses are LEGIT. Trust yourself and keep going.
Happy learning everyone!
Excellent advice. Thank you, Travis.
this is great content, the analogy and the examples. Thank you
Live this guy's laid back, clear, friendly conversational style. Very inspirational.
My utmost thanks for your videos and your help
Great advice brother!!
Thank you Travis!
Good stuff!! Thanks.
Thank you so Much
CZcams never recommended this channel,finnaly got this precious channel🎉
Thank you so much ❤🎉
Another great video for the folks about to start journey in to software industry like me
Wise video. Thanks :)
Thank you 💯
I would learn if you would teach the course one day...your motivation and explanation is on next level
Brilliant!
love this video
Thanks Travis. And yes the web development course by Angela Yu is incredible. Very concise, to the point and the coding challenges help solidify the concepts.
I have taken almost the complete course and I really love Angela Yu, but the stuff you learn about the backend is outdated, the complete MongoDB section does not work anymore because how mongoose works has changed. Still recommend the course for her great teaching style but actually finding great courses that teach how things are done today is not as easy as you would think. I also recommend Stephen Grider, but his stuff is also outdated in some places.
@@jan2316 True. The tech landscape changes rapidly so keeping up to date with the trends is important💯
@@jan2316Outdated courses are unacceptable pick an author that keeps his/her work up to date.
I d add also harvard and other universities courses. Completely free, better peaced. I m on week six of CS50P ,after getting halfway through an udemy course, cause I realized for me udemy courses have too much material , high quality but for me too condensed. My slow brain does not keep up,I needed something more human tailored, something that is proven to practically work on people.
Hey question, should I get Docker Certified? Or is using docker in a portfolio project enough to demonstrate skills. I just bought the Colt Steele web development cours last week and have been working on it after spending almost a year learning exclusively Python. I realized getting a job with only Python,SQL, and docker skills is a lot harder than just going the web dev route. Lower barrier for entry apparently. I’m gonna be working on this and getting AWS solutions architect certified. And then I get back out there at the job market again.
Hi, I’m 34 and switching careers from automotive to web development. I’ve completed angela yu’s mern stack bootcamp, learned Java through Codecademy, and some python this year.
My friend is working in devops doing cloud migration working with aws, kubernetes and such and I would like to try and work with him or even just get into that field. I’m about to take the aws cloud practitioner exam tomorrow and then maybe get into Linux, docker, kubernetes, network+ and security+ and more.
My question is, do you think it’s possible to land my first job in devops bypassing web dev and what would be a good roadmap to do so?
At the 2:20 mark, I decided this video deserved my like.
Nice video Travis, super helpful advice, what are your thoughts on leetcode? Would that be a good substitute for the JS algorithms problems you suggested?
Yes leetcode is great, just not free so didn’t mention it in this video
@TravisMedia awesome thanks for the response. Keep doing what you're doing, you have helped me so much! Truly appreciate it
Hi travis. Could you please suggest me something?
I have completed the web developer bootcamp of colt steel back in 2020 and after that I have not done any projects. Since then I have just not done much. I have doin things in frontend html , css and js (not react) and i am getting bored of just using Js. I had decided to take things more seriously recently as my prime focus now would be to build and something and scale it and monetize it. I was your FastAPI video I have started learning it and I do not wish to change it. However, I still have the web developer bootcamp of colt steel. Should I stop fastAPI and focus on the web dev course cause right now I just one to choose one thing grow with it and have some flexibility to other coding things.
Hi Travis, can you recommend some small companies who are interested on hiring entry level jobs just for experience, im okay with earning small amount or no pay at all just to have an experience to add up in my resume.
I took and finished Colt Steele’s course. changed my life!
The three steps are essentials.
Great job. You’re in the 5% of people who have actually finished a Udemy course 😂 😂. What’s up next?
I still have 10 more classes in my Udemy though. I might not gonna even touch it, unless when I probably need it one day. So I guess, I'm both part of the 5% and the 95% 😂.
I worked as a SWE for a while, creating internal tools for companies, SaaS, and ERP. After a few years, I created a tech media about emerging startups and new innovative tech called DiggerInsights, and recently started to build a readers hub app called ReadersGuild includes book club management and reading tracker feature to build reading habits for people who want to start reading or trying to find reading friends. I also built ReadersGuild in public and write a series on medium.
I definitely agree about writing a blog or youtube and creating documentation. it helps to create exposure about our abilities. More than that it helps me to memorize technical concepts and understand them more comprehensively. Exciting journey!
I've been intrigued by computer vision lately since I joined the Vesuvius challenge. Do you have any great resource suggestions for it?
Got job yet?
I want to be like you one day. You're very cool!
You know what Mr. Travis, you just look like Bucky Roberts 😁
another great video!
You know what I realized though, normally we dont know which one wont waste our time. Im already a c# jr dev but need help with APIs, Azure services.. basically backend. But I dont feel like having my time wasted anymore.
hey Travis can u please suggest me some if there are courses or tutorials for all the tech stuff pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Is there a distinct difference between those courses and the free ones like the odin project?
Really they all teach you the same thing. All courses teaching you JavaScript will cover the same steps. Many people spend time trying to find a course that best suits their learning style, but ultimately, in the end, it doesn't matter. Learning the material matters. What matters more is to have a clear path forward. Perhaps the Odin project only offers 30% of what you really want to learn. Then you'll need to put together a plan to incorporate material from another source to cover the gap. What I recommended in this video is a course that teaches you everything, in one place, so that you can stay put there for a while. But alternatives are fine, just be sure to have a clear path as to all the steps you want to take.
i want to make Android apps and I know only html, css, python, and Java (Basic). what do I do? I don't know. Please help me
Hi Travis, do u suggest free tutorials on youtube?
Sure! Just put together a plan and course of learning and not random videos.
I'm not sure how you're seeing these prices..
I see $190 for Colt Steel's course and $150 for Angela Yu's course.
They run sales every couple of days. Check out travis.media/udemy as i list the deals that I find there. Next sale looks to be in a couple days.
@@TravisMedia thank you!!
😀👍
On Algorithm Challenges - for me there was a period where I did a dozen per day. Don't be me, because software is more than algorithms.
what's up everybody :)
As someone who has recently decided to take a step back from his guitar based obsession to focus once more on his web development career, your analogies are oddly on the nose for me. Haha!
Hi travis Can i get a good job after completing angela yu course on udemy
Nah Your gonna need more skills and projects than what that course provides
@@chukwukodinakaugochukwu2817 thanks
its helpful for beginner's but issue is DOM part is not that well explained . Positive is it's covering a lot of topics
@@hdjfjd8 thanks buddy
You are telling people the truth.
Me learning web dev without spending 😎😎
They also had alot of cheap and strong drugs!!! 😂
Missed one AI
How to learn all these skills? Just buy a guitar.
Thanks , myself a Finance guy, I always been trying to find the right IT Guru, as you rightly said needs a bit of concentration to get going. Great Advice😊
