Thank you, it is comments like this that keep motivating me to create more videos. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the feedback. I did make this mistake on my edits of my early videos.

What are you trying to get into front-end, mobile?

I'm about to reveal my ignorance but I don't even know what that means. I've been researching where even to start and my plan is to start with either Python or C++ and take some college classes. I'm currently employed but not for long. I'll have more time to my options after I leave my job. At my workplace I've always been curious about people who create systems and build programs.

Backend, devops and data science seem interesting.

Excellent question, in some cases having a "enum" value is good enough. In my experience it is ok to reference the code to understand what the "enum" values stand for (if you have 10 or more values and you can't always remember by heart) if you only need to store a simple flag, but this false apart the minute you need to have an additional attribute for the entity you are referencing. For example, let's look at Makes in this video, you easily just keep track of a numeric value to represent the car manufacturer. What happens if you need to also store where the car maker is from? or what year it was founded? You might also need to track (for some use cases) if you still allow if the Maker to be active in your application. Also, one day you might need to filter Makers or car models from a certain country and having a way to do that is to have additional attributes on the Makers table. So... short answer yes I agree, it is a lot easier to keep only an "enum" as long as you are 100% you won't a need to store any additional attributes for a particular entity.

I am humbled. I am glad that my message resonated with you. I am trying to get more people to watch my content hoping that in one way or another helps them. Thank you for your support.

You can have a Users table with attributes to indicate what type of user it is (buyer/admin/seller), then add an AddressId field that will be a foreign key to an Addresses table. That way each user will have an address. It gets a bit trickier if you need to support multiple addresses per user, but that is still doable.

Hello

Thanks for the support and good luck on your dev journey

@@thedevlife Thanks!

Thanks for requesting that video. I will surely get it out there.

Congratulations on starting your dev journey!! I'm surprised you picked C as your first language, it is a difficult. On the positive side, if you can handle C any other language will be easier. Thank you for the support and I hope to see again in the community.

Good luck on your journey. The job market for devs is very competitive right now, but there will be jobs.

It's a good way to keep my main disk clean. You can experiment on the virtual environment (created on virtualbox) and not risk breaking my main system (OS).

I would, what else would you recommend?

@@thedevlife nothing to be honest. I just wanted your perspective

I could make a video (maybe I will) to talk about this in more depth. I know a lot of new Devs are weary about choosing software development as their career because of AI. However, if we think about it, what career can you get into where AI won't have an impact. I think this is more about whether you have a positive or negative outlook in life in general. Personally, I think software development still has a future.

I appreciate the feedback, thank you.

@@thedevlife No problem. Except from that, you made some good points.

Thanks for pointing it out, I did re-edit with no music, link in the description.

First of all, thank you for your support and for being a subscriber, I appreciate that. If I was getting a MacBook Air for development work, I would get at least 16gb or RAM and 512Gb of storage. If I could afford it I would go with 1Tb, it sounds like it is a lot but it would payoff in the long run. I honestly don't think that 8gb of RAM is enough, get at least 16.

@@thedevlife thank you my friend where are you from I like to be one of your friend because your information are very good but still our channel has less number of followers but don't worry my friend I will be supporting you 💕✨😁

@@thedevlife then I from INDIA

@@thedevlife I really like you broo I will be you best well-wishers and bestfriend I only need your friendship

@@thedevlife I you think its a spam that hurts 🤕 me and our friendship

Thank you, please share.

My pleasure, thanks for the support 🙏

Hi Tom, thanks for watching the video and for your feedback. That’s a really good analogy. Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope you find the tutorials that keep you awake.

Looks fine to me

In 1950 tere were not pixels...!

🙂 I’m glad the video helped you.

I appreciate that!

I’m very glad. The reason why I keep creating videos. Thanks for your support.

I’m glad Linux works for you. For most devs it’s either Windows or MacOS.

@@thedevlife for most devs its linux you muppet.

Indeed, it is for some people.

Agree with you. But you're still tied up to 2/4 hours battery life. Unlike Mac. I don't have a Mac. I'm windows user but it's the thing kinda bugs me from all the other laptops.

I haven’t yet 😅

​@@thedevlifecome on man, it's been 3years so giddy up 😩😅😅. Really like the way you explain stuff clearly 👍

thanks for the support! In a very similar way, you would have an object that has a nested array, something like this: { "myArray":[ "object1":{ "property1":"val1"}] } then stringify it

I heard that before, I re-edited the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3Ssd6ilg5hlma8

oh that great thank you @@thedevlife

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful.

Thank you for the support.

I love hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing.

I’m glad 🎉

I agree with renaming the table “Makes” to “CarMakes” or “CarManufacturers”. I don’t agree with renaming the “Cars” table to anything else, not saying you are wrong, but I wouldn’t do it, here is why: if in the future I need to create a table that contains car listings or a table that holds Ads (advertisements) for cars. The “Cars” table represents a car as an entity. I do see the advantage of making it clear to understand what the table holds, but as rule I always try to break down objects down to entity representations which makes it easier to build relationships with other tables. Thanks for your feedback.

@@thedevlife Thanks for your detailed explanation. It now makes clearer sense and I totally agree with you :)

I’m glad it was helpful.

7 months later, how is it going for you?

@@reese373 I’m back with my former employer, a big telco. My work with coding was part of the interview conversation. But my new position isn’t quite a software engineer. Although it is technical.
