1. don't learn things randomly
2. don't try to learn everything all at once but focus on learning one thing at a time.
3. be an active learner
4. don't just memorize stuff
5. build stuff
Good

Just two words: âdo projectsâ
Youâll spend ages on the project as a beginner. This will naturally lead you to re-read the concepts again and again fixing your errors, troubleshooting, and not only trying to understand but also how to use what you understood and BEHOLD by the time you finish the project:
1- you feel great sense of accomplishment
2- youâll have practical experience
3- youâll have a project for your portfolio.
4- subconsciously youâll know how to apply what you have learnt - youâll be more intuitive.
5- you wonât have to memorise anything, doing is the best process of memorising.
6- if you need a revision, youâll just review your project instead of re watching hours and hours of videos and get stuck in Tutorial hell.
7- Reduces imposter syndrome later on
Thanks man
magical comment!!
A noob doesnt even know what a project is. Wtf. What project
Thanks to this.
Great advice!
What I needed to hear: âlearn one thing at a time.â Iâm paraphrasing a bit, but I do think this is where I end up burning out every time. Trying to split my time between too many learning projects.
You got this!!!
Thanks for sharing and being so genuine in your care. It's not everyone on CZcams that has the sensibility to see how afflicting the myriad of info can be. I was feeling like I had gone off the rails with my training. I see now that I truly haven't gone so far astray. Eager to keep going.
Tip 5. Building my own personal projects allowed me to retain knowledge and expand it. This channel does a great job assisting beginners to develop a structured approach to coding.
awesome! I'm glad you liked it
True
I'm lazy or I need course content to learn?I am confused
Great to build your portfolio too.
How can a beginner start a project if they dont know how to code yet even. I'm so confused
It's all about persistance. The first website I ever built was simply awful to look at, and I was paranoid about every single line of code, thinking "am i doing this right? is this good practice?" But over time you learn on your mistakes and gradually get better and better with each project, just start simple
This is very true!! Just keep trying đ„
Persistence*
Thanks for this comment, and Coder Coder for the video, of course!
Which OS is best for beginners??!
Same here lol I am paranoid too!
project courses have been the most effective way to learn so far. The start is always confusing (and sometimes overwhelming) as you have to utilize and expand all the stuff you've learned in individual courses but it's worth it !
I actually enjoyed this. I feel like I can do this if I try to motivate myself. Taking one step at a time and trying to make sure I can do it. I really need to push myself a little more though. Thank you so much!
it makes so sense, when her says: 'code is not a collection of abstract facts'', this remind me when i'm studying mathematics(Real analysis, abstract algebra, linear algebra and etc).
Thank you! Glad you liked it :D
@@TheCoderCoder of course, you are the best
Great advice all around. I especially liked the bit about going through a section of a course/book and then trying to rebuild the examples by yourself without any outside help. That not only helps reinforce the material in a big way, it also keeps you from plowing through stuff without really absorbing anything.
Glad you liked it! :D
All I can say is thank you for this video and others you put out. I'm refreshing my software dev knowledge and learning lots of new things and it's been overwhelming. I've watched three videos of yours so far including the How to Stay Motivated one and I feel like I can do this. I just need to set smaller goals and be more realistic about timelines. Thank you again! đ
As always, thanks for the applicable tips! You've put so much passion into making your channel helpful and inspiring.
Great video! I earned my B.S. in Computer Science back in 1990, and it's AMAZING how coding practices & techniques has changed over the years! I have been in the IT industry over 30 years, and recently been learning more web-based programming! Feels like I'm relearning programming from a different angle than of the old school languages of years ago! I have to remember during the old era we coded everything (functions and all) from scratch, now with libraries it's more like "drop & drag" into coding! đ
Hahaha by far the funniest comment! Lol
So cool!
Love so much about this!!
This is great! Your presentation style is really helping get the information across. Good job, keep it up!:)
This is a great video! I got stuck in analysis paralysis when I first began coding, trying to figure the best path to start and which language to start with. Once, I decided to just pick Java and stick with it, I progressed faster than I thought I could and everything I learned has helped me to now begin learning another language.
Update? đ
Knowledge bombs! This stuff is so key to sustaining progress in the long run and not getting overwhelmed. A quote I love that this reminded of is "Complexity is the enemy of execution".
That's a great quote! đ„ Thanks for watching!
I heard something similar a while ago that always stuck with me. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Applies in many areas, not just coding.
Ever since I started watching Your videos I stopped wasting my time going through different lessons. Now I'm able to build my own projects by myself because of your channel. Keep posting new videos đ
that's so awesome! Great job đ„
I started learning recently. Glad I discovered your channel. You have a nice way of explaining things, and I like it. Kudos!
just first video i saw on this channel and i regained my hope to learn how to code . thanks a lot !
After finishing a long course, taking notes when revising it again - helped me a lot. Such notes proved very handy for me.
This is a great suggestion!! Taking notes helps so much đ„
Same thing i do
What I do is comment out key points in the code throughout the course
where do you take courses?
@@hanabern3897 Took courses from Udemy, Skillshare and also from some other platforms. Unfortunately I didn't find one instructor who was fully understandable throughout the entire course. Got to know something from someone and then again another part from someone else. At times it was frustrating and confusing but I never gave up. And then after many misses and hits, one-day I suddenly realized that now I understood the subject matter thoroughly. If you want to know the entire list of courses that I took to learn web development (full stack) then I would love to share that.
Thank you for these invaluable tips. You've been one of my top inspirations in my process to become a dev! Thank you once again :)
You're very welcome!
you're awesome, how you speak as well is very clear and can't stop watching you videos hey. youre awesome for making suck awesome and educational content as i'm busy trying to learn how to code as well
I subbed. Love the way you explain things. Straight to the point and clearly expressed, easy to understand.
Thanks for the video, We all have problems; the way we solve them is what makes us different, i pray anybody reading this God will solve all your problems.
Thank you for this video. Its so helpful. I am trying to learn python and you know I did exactly what you said during the video. On day 1 I watched a video and on day 2 another one from a different trainer. Now I now what needs to be done. Follow a learning path. Thank you again. You rock.
1st video in this channel and i'm hooked! perfect voice and delivery. â€
You actually pointed out the real problems that I am facing. Thank you for this content.
Building stuff using what you've learnt, even if its a simple application that doesn't do much is definitely better than just memorizing! Great video!
This has to be the best video about the topic not only for beginners but also for people who forgot to learn new things. Quality and value in every second. Well done, Jessica!
Thanks for your kind words Claudio!
This is very helpful as I wrote that what I should complete this year but never know how to start, this vid gave me a hint and I appreciate that,
thank you for making this vid
I love the way you teach! Thank you so much for your time and content.
I'd add this tip: start learning as soon as you can. Every day you procrastinate to learn something new is a wasted day that other developers will use to stay ahead of you. The more days you spend learning new stuff the more knowledge and experience you'll gain throughout your life. Keep it up fellas.
Personally I would say try not to focus on the results, it's more about the process of learning. Every unfinished project adds up in cumulative experience over time. Comparing yourself to how quick others are learning is not healthy imo.
also pushing oneself too much like jeese did isnt good.16 hours a day are you mad . 7-8 hours hsould be max if one is not working. you will learn the concepts in 2-3 months and 4 months have a good project.
@@Bluepaccao true, you worry too much about "learning" and ended up not learning at all. I'm learning much more faster with slow projects without getting to stressed over it. Ig this depends much on person to person but that personally doesn't work with me
And that's how you stop doing something
And that's how you stop doing something
I think this is great! I would say on point 2 focus on one thing at a time. What works best for me is to have one thing I'm working on in depth with some time devoted to random interests. while its impossible to complete anything when you have 12 different things going on at the same time I find it a breath of fresh air to have something to bounce to when my brain needs it. Also this fits well with the wide breadth with a few things at depth skill up strategy.
A decent enlightening post that you have shared and appreciate your work for sharing the data. I value your endeavors and all the best. Praise your work and continue sharing your data.

Thank you for your video tutorials. I just started learning a month ago about web development. I'm in my early 40s.
These videos have encouraged me to continue learning. Thank you!
You got this! Best of luck in your learning!
Iâm focusing on html and css and Iâm loving css! The small bits and pieces that I accomplish are so satisfying! I love everything about it! Iâm self learning and someday I hope to become something in the tech world. đ Then I found your channel and I'm loving every videos!
We're the same! I started html and css and making little projects are satisfying
Me too an learning CSS but am done with the basics I want to go into tailwind CSS
Thatâs awesome! Youâre on the road to join the front end developer squad, I recommend as your next step after mastering HTML and CSS to learn node.js. With just those three you can create a full blown and functioning website.
@@ulisesromero8291 â€ïžâ€ïžđ
Just started zero to mastery and itâs been nice so far. I love the road mad and everything. Just trying to stay motivated even though it is very challenging. Thank you for the tips and advice!
Your presentation style is very calm and soothing, and the tips are great. New subscriber here!
A few friends of mine asked me how they learn coding. I tried to create a word doc for them as a guide but i realized it sucks after wasting a few hours. Iâm sharing this video with them. Thanks for great concise guide.
You're very welcome! Hope this helps your friend.
Something about this resonated with me. I feel kinda silly "wasting" the last 2 weeks trying to learn HTML without actually trying to apply it, and now that I'm dwelling on it, I barely remember any of it, but the nature of being self-taught is essentially being willing to push through the mistakes and find a better way. This video has shown me what I believe will be a better way. Thank you!
Hows it going with html
Update?
Use notion to register your code applications
wow. the universe put you in my view for a reason. I got some amazing tips and a lot of the things you mentioned I was doing so i feel like I got some confirmation on my path into this career . thanks a bunch
Whenever i feel like quitting..i just come here to your channel and watch or rewatch your video and it helps me to regain my confidence and keep pushing forward...thank youâ€
I experienced not necessarily the same: When I decided to learn one thing I also learn anything it involves that stops me understanding the whole concept. That actually learn the full stack very quickly and keeps my interest and curiousity going. Force myself to stick on one thing would drop my interest on learning.
Thank you so much
I'm guilty of the second tip, I've been bombarding myself with learning almost everything I come across without knowing one perfectly.
I recently made a decision to go back to CSS and learn it well before learning JavaScript again, I'm making progress đč
how are you doing so far??
I love your videos!! Your road map helped me A LOT!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. I dare say this is God sent. Came at the perfect time. I recently got stuck on JS but watching this video, I've decided to get a more in-depth knowledge of html and css before jumping to JS. Thank you really
Love it, Jessica! Iâm back do studying how to code after two years. Iâm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for being so generous!
4 years for me
Being hands on and building actual projects by following tutorials and making notes next to/ above the code helps a lot, especially when you forget how to do something and then you review your code and read the comments /notes you left yourself explaining what the block of code does or why you wrote the code that way will definitely help you remember what you've learned and removes the anxiety of having to cram/memorize everything.
This is a great idea. I'm a note taking kind of person. I've had a supervisor before tell me I take too many notes. But if I don't note things down, I absolutely am more likely to forget. I have bad memory.
Ah, you hit my problem perfectly
@kaydeenothing9772 There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking notes down. I find that it reinforces the information into your brain so that you recall it later on when you need it. I did this a lot when I was studying my undergrad so much so that when exam time came around I didn't even need to study all the chapters in my text book, i read over my class notes and it helped me get distinctions in a few modules.
just had the idea to learn to code and had absolutely no idea where to start tnanks you got a subscriber
you really helped me a lot... all this time i was trying so hard to memorize the basic html codes because i thought it was the best option but by doing that i started over thinking things and my head started hurting me... after finding this video i now understand what i need to you so thank you :)
Great video :)
Thanks Adrian!
@@TheCoderCoder Agreed. top notch!
I think this is excellent to follow for various fields in general. One thing I would touch on is passive learning. It works for me when I need to know about something rather than knowing how to execute something. As a cybersecurity professional, I do not need to know how to code, only to understand it.
Thank you so much my dear. you know it how to guide ppl to their best version of themselves. keep doing your great job.
I just began a six months training on Java and 3 weeks into the program, your tips here have helped me so far. Thank you very much!
This is exactly what I needed, thank you
I'm glad to hear that!
Awesome video, I'm currently watching the video and doing as the instructor is doing. I also sign up for a Bootcamp where we work in teams and to help each other out. I love your videos, because they give me the inspiration to keep going. Some days are hard and then I see one of your videos and it perks me up to keep going that day and sometime that week. Thank you so much for your help and videos.
Glad my videos could help! Best of luck in your bootcamp!
Started this month learning html, css basics since im a beginner and i actually falling in love with the progress. This helped a lot to know where to focus :) thank you đ
Wow! So happy I found this channel! Very helpful info. Thank you so much!!!
Just on time when I needed a video like this. Thank you â„ïž
I have been learning web development from past 2-3 months, I practiced little so I forgot what I had learnt. Now, I am rewatching the sections I have forgotten.
Awesome, glad this could help you!
I started learning frontend this year, I already did html and css,now im starting javascrpt which is kinda complicated for me.
I agree with your recomendations, i felt overwhelmed at first,there are so many things to learn
I have added this video to watch later from a long time ago. Just watched it now it is good i mean awesome. The tips mentioned are true.
Thank you so much for your information. I really do appreciate it because I'm in the beginning stages of learning the code as well
Ive found the best way to learn is by muscle memory. I find a small app or project that incorporates some important fundamentals and then break it down into different microparts. Then I write the code for these parts literally dozens or hundreds of times. Eventually it sticks and it becomes second nature. The key is breaking it down into logic that makes sense to you. I rememeber learning to play the piano and having my teacher sort of position my hand one way and it never felt right. One day I sort of just found a way that works for me and felt completely natural compared to what my instructor had been teaching me . my point is...find what works for you and what comes most naturally to you. Dont force yourself and just mimic what the youtube guys tell you. Truly understand the fundamentals and logic behind what you are doing. Understanding and knowing are not the same
Thank you so much for this advice. I was getting distracted by the things I do not know and thus was trying everything all at once. I will surely follow this tip of breaking things down. Thank you.
Awesome, hope this can help you!
I needed that video, I really didn't know where and how to start. I don't want to start a full course certificate at school with no base at all, thanks for the tips.
Really like the way she speaks, so clear and calm, no need of subtitles at all.
Happiness is getting notification of new video of Jessica and CSS King at the same time.

haha thank you!
Making projects on my own is easy but how about real life projects? Larger projects like you only have to deal with part of it. Obviously we don't have a control on everything, so how we proceed when we need to fix a front end feature in order to ease things in back end? Could you make a video of common senses of work culture while working in a team? Like what we expect when we get hired( hopefully one day), so we can practice through these manners. Thanks for the great video it was really helpful x
Actually, this is a really good video, pure gold! Every rookie should watch these advices!
I've always found that coding along the video or whatever and then leaving explanations of your own where you think you might be confused about later or forget really helps.
when I watch tutorials I always felt something is missing, like I am far behind it all the time, but after I read some books about fundemental concepts, I felt good & now I have an idea whatâs going on,
Care to share what those books were called?
@@VandalVortex Head first HTML
, HTML & CSS by John Ducket, Javascript and Jquery by John Ducket, those books quite old, but helps to get solid understanding basics,
Iâm a super newbie to coding, and learned about python in my software engineering fundamentals class.
HTML makes sense, C# is hurting my brain already, python is pretty đ«¶đœ
Your video is reassuring as midterms are around the corner! I look forward to following more of your content for beginners đ
Very well organized channel and videos. Thank you, it is a great pleasure to watch.
I have been researching for 1 week about programming and now I know how to start. Thank you!
Thank you- This really helped.. I started coding about 2 months ago and I was trying to learn everything Python, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JS stc.. and got nowhere quick- until I just focused on HTML for a week, then CSS another week and now I am trying to build project using these two languages. after 2 weeks I plan on starting with JS.. hopefully I will have basic concept of HTML, CSS, & JS before I am 40 YO.. (only 5 months from now) Thank you Coder Coder!!
good luck!
hey mahn ahaha leave this for us youngings, you want to beat us with experience!
Same here
Same here
Jeez, you are georgeous...thanks for the informative video by the way!
Thank you so much for the awesome breakdown, im new to all this and i was doing random stuff because i didint know where to start or what subjects to look for, i seen a video a long time ago about html and thatâs basically all i know, ik its not coding coding but it helped me kinda understand how to set stuff up and understand vscode better, ill definitely check out your roadmap vid after this one
Looking at others creating awesome stuff might give you a sense of inferiority. Don't let it get to you, just keep learning by doing your own stuff and you'll pass them before you know it!
An amazing path is The Odin Project. Highly recommended
Watching your videos always keep me motivated. Thank you!
Awesome video! đ I've been subscribed with all notifications.
Going to give it a go yet another time... started learning python in 2018, went through few courses, dropped it, got into testing path (manual) now wanting to switch to automatisation using python. Let's see how it goes this time. Oh, btw, this year I'll be 40 :)
Good luck
52 here , just started this week learning python, itâs tough going but Iâm breaking it up into 30 min lessons
@@valley_robot Thanks for the message :) You've got a point! It's maybe better to do it in shorter sessions for a start and not get discouraged by sinking into 2-hr sessions daily.
Good luck! :)

Was this video made for me? You speaking right to my heart.
This was not only very useful, but motivating too! Thank you!
The most useful video for this concept out there! Congrats đ
Thank you so much ! the optimal way of explaining and the length of the video is the same. God Bless You !!!
collecting the ideas and how you have set them has improved my skills on learning about web design and development
your video was really helpful, was exacting what i needed to hear
Great video! Thanks for the content.
You really helped me. Thanks for your advices.
Extremely clear explanation (and your pronunciation is very easy to understand)
Thank you
this video solved my problem.
I watch your video just randomly but I found this usefull
They all extremely good points and much needed to hear for me. As one more extra tip: Don't keep mingling with tutorial video. Find a pace according to tutor's speaking -and typing speed, adjust the video speed accordingly and only pause video when you need to catch up. Don't move forward, focus on catching up each word once, or twice if it needed.
