[@fexofenadinaGenerica]

It is worth pointing out that "doing projects" to learn is a good idea if the person already knows the basics of programming and needs to practice/learn more advanced features or a new programming language. For a beginner, however, it is impossible. You HAVE to start from a textbook/tutorial/Bootcamp/university, otherwise, it will only lead to frustration. That said, once you know the basics, doing projects is the best choice, especially to improve the googling skills.

Nana, your ability to break things down in suuuuch a clear way is just outstanding! This one was especially useful for navigating the different fields in IT. I’m considering my own options at the moment and I was at first very drawn to DevOps (understandably, given the focus of your channel) but the amount of learning quickly became overwhelming the more research I did! So I was very pleased to find out about your prerequisite course, which made a lot of sense to me and actually pinpointed more what I think I want to do now. Full-stack Web development seems at the moment as the thing I’m aiming for, so I’ll look more into that. I just wanna thank you and your team for the immense work you put in to these extremely useful videos! Your courses are definitely on my list of options. Keep up the good work!

@jdparker2895 For networks and operating systems you can use the books of Tanenbaum. I read them back in university and still read up on them to this day sometimes. Programming has a huge amount of resources pick python and develop some small project. This alone should take you at least half a year.

[@stephantrzonnek1720]

Hi Nana, thanks for sharing your knowledge. May I say, that you missed in 5:29 the server side software. All programs, like for instance databases, that are highly depending on what the operating system provides, are also developed by software engineers/software developers. To develop these types of software, you need to have a good understanding of various operating systems. Additionally, embedded software is missing. Though you mentioned sensors on cars and that they are somehow managed by controllers, it's worth mentioning that developing embedded software is a field on it's own. Regarding programming languages, JS might be the easiest language to choose, but only at the beginning. It is mainly used in web applications, micro services and mobile applications, whereas web apps are following a complete different concept than micro services. For micro services, you need a much more deeper knowledge of software engineering than for web apps. I would actually propose to learn java in the beginning. With that, you would learn the concept of object oriented programming, which is helpful for the most programming languages and a must for java. If you start with a language that doesn't require or recommend object orientation, you'll struggle later, when you need to write object oriented code. BTW: HTMl, CSS and SQL are not programming languages (mean people say, JS is none either ;-) ). Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate your efforts. I just want to put your hints/suggestions/advises in perspective. Not everything is that easy, as it sounds. You know that, but not all of your viewers 🙂 All the best, Stephan

[@untouchable360x]

Easiest way is management. I've been working in tech for decades. I would say 80% of managers/directors have low or no tech skills whatsoever. Even their people management skills are bad. They just attend meetings all day and delegate work. However, they are paid 2-3x of the people who report to them. It's not fair but it is what is it is. I only had 2 bosses who were exceptional. I'm a manager myself now but I try to keep up with my skills so I can solve problems.

[@CampingNstuff]

The job of management supervisors is to manage personnel and manage the logistics of keeping a section or department running is not their job and know how to do your job

Thanks @Nana for the video. I actually enjoy how you started your journey, at the end of the video, because it relates quite to my current situation. I am a 3 years electrical engineering student, but I have been there for almost 5 years now, a normal thing in my country as a school year happen to be 1.5 of a normal year. I started to get interested in IT for 2 years now, from Arduino programming to C/C++ basics and Python. It's been 1 year since I decided to become a Machine Learning Engineer. I started to learn Python related to machine learning and data science (numpy, pandas, matplotlib, scikitlearn...). From engineering background, math was not an issue for me. After covering the basics skills, I started to see and get interested in machine learning jobs, but surprisingly I found that all the types of Machine Learning jobs I am interested require higher educational background/degree (Master or PhD) mostly, although I am not expecting a Master degree in a close future as I am planning to drop out of my Electrical Engineering degree program and start learning skills based and practical projects mode... For 6 months now I started the Associate Cloud Engineer certification prep on Google Cloud Platform and I currently have a basics understanding of cloud infrastructures, deployment, managing and monitoring of cloud solutions. At the start I expected to get the Associate certificate and become a Cloud Engineer but quite recently DevOps engineering really captured my mind and then I am currently shifting to DevOps. I am learning the basics of, Software Architecture, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, containers, virtualization, networks fundamentals... I am still in learning mode but I am trying my best to move as fast as possible to get there. I live in Africa and I am hoping to relocate to either Europe or North America. I would appreciate your suggestion for my career path. Thanks 😊 and good luck to anyone who read this🤲🙏

Thank you so much! 🥰 Very useful, clear and concise advise. I was language hopping starting with some HTML and CSS, then jumping to C on CS50's HarvardX. This became impossible in week 1 to get through by myself. I may be relatively intelligent (or so I thought), but lacking a good basic education, Harvard level courses are too much to handle at this point. So I also have gone back to building and reinforcing basic (arithmetic) skills that school did not equip me with. I have now, thanks to someone's advise started learning Python since two weeks, lol.. I'm taking your advise and I am just going to stick to Python ( and training arithmetic) now until I have a thorough understanding of it. No more language hopping!

Thanks for the invaluable insight! I started self learn coding a year ago and most of the knowledge I learn is related to software development. However in the current industry climate it is a brutal competition for a no-CS background to break into software development field. I discovered some DevOp and cloud opportunities but have little knowledge of these fields. I have come to realisation it is quite a different path and perhaps expectation too. ( such as on-call duty could be a requirement for certain area) This video helps me to grasp a general idea of each area in IT and evaluate if my current IT knowledge is up to the level for that each field. 👍🏻

Ive been on this beginners boat. I started off with a BootCamp, got my Sec+ and I had a secret clearance because I was military. When I started applying for jobs I think I was going to have a decent chance thinking that I got a certification, and a clearance I should be able to get a job right? NOPE!!!!! Hiring managers and recruiters theyre looking for people with experience! Dont get me wrong the jobs that I applied for are listed as "entry level" position, I wasn't even going for mid level or anything just entry levels but still couldn't get a job. The harsh reality is that people are thinking "oh I'm gonna get in to IT and make good money right away or really soon, because I got all these certifications and I should be getting a job no problem" but the truth is far from that. you cant just go in and thinking that just because you have certifications they're just going to hire you! Employers want people with experience, and if you have nothing but certs you're not a good enough candidate. My advice to anyone that's trying to break in to IT coming from a different field is that you're gonna have to start at the bottom again at that entry level position whenever you're switching career fields such as from business to doctors, doctors to engineers, lawyers to electricians, electricians to mechanics etc.... To start at the bottom of getting your foot in the door in to IT is any helpdesk jobs/service desk jobs/tech support etc... I know these positions sucks and the pay ain't good, but thats what you might have to do and sacrifice to get your feet wet and build up some experience before you can apply to a next higher role. SOURCE: Personal experience, Im a veteran separated from the military with hopes and aspiration for getting into IT as well, and these are all the difficulties that I have to faced, and I'm currently working helpdesk while studying and getting more certification for my next role, and gaining experience while at this job.

Hi there. Thank you for the video. I too watched many IT beginner videos. This one had an impact. Before this video I was going for security as my focus, but now I think cloud would be my best path. Thank you for bringing clarity.
