Hey mehul Do you know best java course ? Should I take mosh hamedani course bundle?

[@akhilkrishnansingh8622]

Hello bhaiya your videos are really helping me as a absolute beginner .Keep it up ! and I wanted to ask you that can you plz make videos on advanced css animations , transitons and the transfrom tags

[@codedamn]

@A k I'm not qualified to answer that, sorry

[@mingyangli9171]

Good points. My 20 cents from 2.5 years of learning software development is to learn technologies stacks to solve problems rather than learning them for the sake of learning. (I learnt Redux for saving AWS bills & learnt to design optimised APIs to reduce frontend load speed)

[@thegreatprogrammer5937]

7 wonders of programming world: 1. Codedamn like platforms for learning 2. Git 3. Stackoverflow 4. HTML (the easiest and the non replacable atleast in near future) 5. Cloud/VPS!!! 6. CLI 7. OpenSource And theres 8th one as well... VS Code

[@aparnagupta6025]

Totally agree that clean or short code is a bad code. I was giving an interview for internship and I used short variable names like a, b, n etc. The interview on review said that you must use better variable names.

[@8koi245]

short code doesn't means one letter variables tho, that's a horrible practice

[@modernsanskari4398]

Hi Bro, Really your content is too good. Some additional points wanted to add: --> Writing Unit Test should be appreciated. No worry later point, a unit test can be a good entry point to understand complex code for devs. --> Reading every changeset on a weekly basis of your team's mates at a high level. --> Taking part in POC's , collab with architects. --> Taking full advantage of your IDE's for better debugging. --> Be a Polyglot dev, to explore different programming paradigms (Highly influenced by Venkat Subramaniam Sir). --> Following some good coding practices and conventions (prettier, stylecop etc). --> Find a mentor that motivates and guides you. ...Lot more things 😊 -- “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” - Martin Fowler"

[@nahidshaikh461]

I went through all your videos after watching your short video on nodejs and really liked the backend part especially in your playlist. Keep doing great work 👍

[@DrorElovits]

Great insights. I find the - prefer relational DB when possible - especially on point. Thank you!

[@coderxchris5099]

This is very quickly becoming my favorite coding channel here on KZbin.

[@pengzhang3006]

So true! I always say "Leave SQL to SQL". I've seen so many codes in my job that do things like: read all, aggregate, filter, grouping, in application code. Those are classic SQL. so choose an RDBMS, offload those jobs to Postgres, and delete all those slow and complicated application code.

[@marcoszanre]

Great content, as always! Love the real life point of view of not building everything from scratch unless you have the budget, knowledge and time, and the best practices in terms of coding with other people and handling data analytics requests as usage scales. Thanks!

[@1minutebizz309]

You know my friend... we all thinking that the learning programming/coding is a very big deal, maybe for you is easy but the boy who live in the village of india's rural area, coding/programming is a BIG BIG deal for me absolutely... but this is the channel name codedamn literally teaching us coding concept and development also in the very easy manners. and now I say coding / programming / development is no more difficult at least for village boy who want to start their career in the software development...thanks MEHUL MOHAN BHAI

[@sabareshrajamanickam9204]

Another thing I realised is that creating proper documentation and comments is just as important as writing code. Most of us miss this step for a variety of reasons, like time constraints and work load in my case. But believe me once you create docs and start writing comments for the code you write, you will feel more confident on your code and it will be easier to make any changes to it.

[@Venom-gf3st]

Thank you so much for creating such a highly useful developer tip for free of cost for us. I hope you will keep posting videos daily ..

[@adx_47]

One point I would like to add is "Do not focus too much on Optimization", it should be the last item in your task list, focus on important stuff like choosing the right tech stack, completing the project as per the requirement, etc. As I have seen optimization takes too much of a time and in most cases it does not even results in a performance which end user will be able to catch.

With more than 12 years of programming, "Clever code", I agree with you and wonder why the Leetcode is a big thing if you are not coding for a lot or edge device.In real world one more loop is not going to burn your server if that code makes it's simple for readability for fellow people or yourself after some time.

@codedamn please make a video on sql vs query builder vs orms. Pros and cons, use cases etc. Thank you for all your doing for the community.

[@codedamn]

Interesting idea! I'll consider it

[@Developer-404]

"Given that the program works, isn’t any statement about its structure merely an aesthetic judgment, a dislike of “ugly” code? After all, the compiler doesn’t care whether the code is ugly or clean. But when I change the system, there is a human involved, and humans do care. A poorly designed system is hard to change-because it is difficult to figure out what to change and how these changes will interact with the existing code to get the behavior I want. And if it is hard to figure out what to change, there is a good chance that I will make mistakes and introduce bugs."- from a book a read.

[@js-swift]

literally when i looked at the code on 4:11 timeline not able to understand just viewing it . I actually , don't use those shorts clever code because one of the most important idea of clean code is easy to understand

[@Developernd07]

We can learn anything for free in this internetWorld just because of the teachers like you Thank you ..

[@ashishafk]

really can relate to the code standard thingy where people do write code that looks kinda cool to them but eventually make it hard to read & understand by others. and in some cases if they visit back the same code base they also kind of struggle.

[@codedamn]

True!

[@ravikumarmistry]

I strongly disagree with the point that if there are relationships in data use SQL. Most NoSQL databases are designed to be fast, highly scalable and available. While working with no SQL keep in mind that you have to replicate data so that you do not need to make multiple query. In NoSQL world it is standard practice and you have to work hard as a developer to update all the replicate data but it will outperform joins of SQL. So NoSQL should be used if you want a very very scalable and available solutions

[@aftabahmad3584]

Ready I will recommend to engineers. If you completed your engineering so codedamn is best path for getting job as full stack developer. Because Codedamn provide that courses with(low cost, real-time implementation) which is very demand in currently and features. It’s my experience. I am .Net Developer. Mr. Mehul is decent and hard work person. he supports to youngster engineer and help them. He gives you ideas for how the code write. Thanks Codedamn and Mr. Mehul.

[@codeityt]

Very helpful knowledge. I also have a request. Please create a series on typescript

Thank you! I'll consider it

Hey mehul can u please upload your next on how u designed your database for your codedamn platform

[@codedamn]

It's MongoDB running on Atlas. Nothing fancy tbh

[@Hiteshparikh]

You covers most of the general practice. However, now a days developer needs to start writing cloud friendly code. I mean by follow 12 factor app principles.
