What should I learn first web development or ds with ml? Now I am btech 2nd year CSE student and I have little bit knowledge programming, but I am still new to this! So plz, give me right suggestions, I know that it upto my interest but I am confused!

[@mohdsahil159]

@@rahuldangi124 First learn data structure of C++ or Java , then solve the question on leetcode.. and practice it atleast 6 months... When you are good in DSA then learn web devlopment (html, css , javascript) for making projects.

[@AlitaMee]

Thanks Ashish, i was honestly crying before searching on KZbin "coding" i was feeling lost as things would very quickly get very hard and I would get distracted. This is a simple video and your journey shows that you did whatever you could at that time rather than planning every move. I feel less overwhelmed. Thanks for making this video.

All these MAANG employees have youtube channels and believe me, its all useless if you are watching them instead of practicing. Did they ever mention that they used to watch motivation video of certain company employee ? Never. Because they focused on right things and now want you to watch their video so they grow more, there is nothing for you.

Yes, KZbin is a time waste. Coding takes a lot of practice.

I am not working for Google Microsoft Amazon , however I learn coding just because I am interested in it and even build a workable web server myself . Using it on my website with the ability to scale at 150000 requests. This guy may be able to do 50 pieces of codes a day at Google by applying engineering maths and physics he learned at school . If he built his own systems then I trust him . This is why most Indian engineers stay as engineers not entrepreneurs.

One thing that I have seen in my college placement is that all those companies who offer package of around 3 - 6 Lakhs ask DSA way difficult then most product based companies, one would expect if they are paying less salary they would ask easy problem but that's not the case, I found that they are asking DP, Graph based question of medium to hard level, whereas companies that offer package more then 10 LPA generally ask these topic as well but medium level, so conclusion is that even if u want a low salary company u have to learn DSA
