Just like you, I started learning Java in 2016. I started working as a programmer in 2018. Аfter 5 years of programming, I finally realized that my problem was that I was constantly trying to learn everything: new frameworks, languages, infrastructure tools, frontend , databases, etc. And I did not pay attention to algorithms, because I believed that they were all implemented in libraries, and instead of solving algorithmic problems, I preferred to read something new. This was my mistake, because without periodically solving algorithmic problems, I did not train my problem solving skill, and now it is at a low level. Now I stopped studying everything, and put the solution of algorithmic problems in the first place.

Nice I'm actually learning JavaScript rn any tips?

@@skleader4899 what does that have to do with his comment???

[@skleader4899]

@@boot-strapper bro I'm just asking him for some tips man no need to be rude...

[@Boyarsskiy]

@@skleader4899I haven't coded much in JS, but I think it's just a matter of learning the basics: variables, functions, and working with arrays. Then try to make some simple application in pure HTML, CSS and JS, without any framework. It could be a to-do list, a weather app, etc. Remember to practice more than read. Don't chase best practices, just build an app to make it work. Also improve your problem-solving skills by solving algorithmic problems. After you have created a couple of simple JS applications on your own, and learned how to solve simple algorithmic problems, start interviewing. in parallel, you can already read some books about JS. It is best to read after you have tried to create something yourself, so you will find answers to questions. if you read first and then do, then you most likely will not start doing anything, because you decide to read everything to the end, and so on ad infinitum. You will read without questions, and this information is quickly forgotten.

[@Boyarsskiy]

I remember when I was learning Java and just reading books, I had no confidence at all how to write code. But when i made my first CRUD app with pure js on the frontend, and with servlets and pure JDBC in Java backend, i got confidence and realized how these parts interact with each other.

Absolutely relatable. Stuck in a company where I am being put'ed on old tech stack. Making me work on SOAP API along with strut framework. I feel suffocated here and feel I am loosing my motivation and started doubting my ability because of all these things.

[@ThanhNguyen-lk6ns]

I also worked on legacy project with really old frameworks, but you know what? Every new tech will be deprecated sooner or later. I recommend you to learn the core of those seemingly ancient tech stacks and why they exist in the first place. Then you could learn new thing on the side and have multiple perspectives. Keep it up bro. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much brother Sahil, I have been following you for a while and find a lot of benefit from your content. I am a third-year university student who has not majored yet. Note that in the place where I live, I cannot find any company that would accept me as a trainee. Also, as you know, an academic education will not lead me to a decent job. The problem with me is the difficulty of balancing my academic education with learning DSA and also learning a field outside my university to catch up with the changing market and modern technologies and gain practical experience because everything is moving so fast that I can't made my mind on anything. Hope you reply, lots of love.

[@AllAboutTechnologies]

Hey Sahil. I am halfway through my web development course and looking at your journey I do realize that its not easy as people make it seem on KZbin. However I request you to make a video on how one can get into the field by going on a self taught route like yourself. What stack/projects to make and how much of DSA knowledge would be required? Love your videos and your journey is inspiring. Keep up the good work👊

[@shivvratraghuvanshi522]

Bro can you guide me on DSA?

[@jatin5346]

@@shivvratraghuvanshi522 If you wanna learn DSA and especially in C++ then you can consider these point :- 1. Study C++ and OOPS in c++ properly before starting DSA. ( You can consider Code with Harry's playlist) 2. There are free resources to learn DSA so you need not to buy any paid course. ( I personally learned from Love babbar's DSA playlist) 3. While learning C++ code along with the tutor in your own laptop as well, watching lectures is extremely boring and you will easily forget everything so just write some code using the concept you learned. Don't rush too fast in learning because it is the foundation, just focus on building concepts and learn slow but be consistent. ( I used to learn some concepts in afternoon, I used to write code along with the teacher and then revised everything in night, studying like this will take time but it will build your concepts and you will have clear understanding of everything). Remember to be consistent, consistency is the major factor in learning. 4. Starting with DSA , you must code every day, like you studied arrays today, then revise the concept and do some questions on array and practice, then move on to next topics and do the same. It will also take time but it will make you a master in DSA. Just focus on consistency and regular learning. You can forget some solutions and concepts and it is very common, so better you upload every question you solve along with solution on GitHub, and you will have an organised collection of questions topicwise. And make notes of every little information in your notebook properly, Trust me you will need them the most while revising DSA. 5. Above points covers the all, but it will take some time so keep it in mind and don't quit you will yield great results. Don't panic and rush just do it slowly. This is the most ideal roadmap to learn DSA in a productive way to get better job opportunities. Hope it will help you : )

I have completed till 18th module.. i solved 18 modules,Even though i understood the logic , problem statements , I strugggle to do other problem statements out of from modules..Now only i understood, for the 3 semesters(each semesters - one module) everything i did was memorizing code, each time i am trying new problem, i starts to think about similar kind of problem i already known, implementing that and doing changes according to the new problem statements...How to overcome this problems and what to do??????
