My top free resource: meetups! Top Tip: Spread your net wide! Dont be afraid to apply to places even if you don’t technically qualify for all of the things they list.

[@KimComplete]

💯 I have gotten 2 jobs where I didn't technically meet all the qualifications, but I was still the best candidate!

[@KimComplete]

My Top Free Resource: KZbin! Especially The Net Ninja My Top Tip for That First Job: HUSTLE! All day, every day! Study, Apply, Network! Much love

[@yogendrajain5280]

I am totally a newbie to coding and I want to know and learn about coding and about resources you are giving me lessons to stepping stones to be a coder. A pleasure to learn from you.

[@lynwinett3098]

My favorite free resource would be sololearn. My tip for getting a job is be nice to everyone and talk to people.

[@awwjust2cute]

Hi Kim!! 💖 This is such an amazing giveaway!! Thank YOU for doing this! My favorite resources for learning code recently have been Edx, Codecademy, KZbin, and Mozilla Developer doc’s. I can’t answer the question about how to get first job as a developer, but I hope one day I get to this phase of my coding journey!!! Good luck everyone! ✨

[@KimComplete]

You will one day, just keep going! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@hamodahm]

You inspire me ,I want to shift career to web developer so I learned html,css and python now am on Django and SQLite . Keep inspiring us.

[@thiernosane7692]

Great, oportunity.

[@jacquitratongamanahaja979]

Thank to KimComplete for this video, it's inspiring!

[@miguelortiz1634]

Well I don't use any websites but I just look up on Google like things that I want to put in my mini website like for example I would look up, How to put images, videos, how to change letters size or color and that's actually helping me a lot.

[@KimComplete]

And just like that, you're a true developer 😂👏🏽

[@cchav123]

So awesome that you're doing this!! I started my programming/web development journey back in April, shortly after COVID got really bad here in the states. My job went remote and suddenly I had so much time on my hands because everything was in limbo with work/clients etc.. I stumbled upon @ taelur alexis pinned tweet about her coding journey. Motivated me to finally try it out. I've always wanted to get into coding and tech but thought you had to be a math wiz or something. So now a couple months into my journey and my favorite free source is, of course, KZbin! KimComplete: you were one of the first videos I came across that motivated me to do the self taught route Traversy Media FreeCodeCamp (both youtube & the website) Senegoddess The Come Up Mayuko Andy Sterkowitz and so many more. Anytime I feel like I'm starting to lack on my progress, get demotivated, or the imposter syndrome starts to hit, I watch some good 'ole "day in the life of software engineers" type of videos, especially from BIPOC -- because watching those videos motivates me and reminds me that that can/will be me one day, but only if I keep at it. Although this one isn't free (but only $12 when I got it) The Complete 2020 Web Development Bootcamp by Dr. Angela Yu on Udemy has helped me so much on my journey. Definitely recommend. I haven't gotten a job in web dev yet but what I'm planning on doing to potentially get my first role in it is by asking my current company if I can transition into a more coding/developer role (completely different from what I'm doing now) because we really need it. So my advice for that is to use all the resources you have at hand right now, but I understand that might not be the case for everyone. If so -- network, join FB groups, talk to people who are in the field. Speak it into existence that you're gonna be in the field some day. Also, just apply to a TON of jobs, even if you don't meet all the requirements or feel like you're not qualified. It really doesn't hurt to apply and try.

[@cchav123]

sorry for writing a novel lmaoo

[@KimComplete]

I LOVE novels! This was so informative and helpful, thank you for sharing! I am honored to be on your list of motivators :) And I think that your approach to getting your first DEV Job is perfect. If you already have a foot in the door, definitely leverage that! Best of luck!

[@josephlacy2000]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 1. I have had the best experience with code academy. 2. My best tip would be to invision the job or kinds of interviews you would want and how you would want then to go. This helps place you in the head space and a positive mindset bc it is something that is more tangible to you. And in a world we're are thoughts impact are reality . What could be more important? Love the channel and everything you done🧡🧡🧡

[@kendragreene8246]

Hi, Free resource: SoloLearn and KZbin ProTip: I’m not there yet, but if I were in that position I would say having confidence in your portfolio and all the work you’ve done. Also, to listen to podcasts or watch videos of people who have already shared their experience for landing a job.

[@Cupid_Codes]

My favorite resources that I've used to learn coding are: KZbin, Codecademy and W3schools.com. I attempted my self-taught coding journey earlier this year and it was so overwhelming. I decided to enroll in a bootcamp, but I still refer to Codecademy and other resources for assitance.

[@Cupid_Codes]

My advice to anyone on this journey is this....1. don't compare your coding journey to anyone else's. 2. Do you research. 3. build projects after coding bootcamp. 4. Look up software developer or web developer job descriptions and try to mirror those requirements. 5. Be patient. 6. Be yourself and have fun! The life of a developer is awesome!

[@KimComplete]

💯💯💯💯💯 Everything in this!

[@rishavsharma765]

Hello Kim, I haven't watched much of your videos but one thing I can say from what I have observed and what I believe. That you have a very good vibe which helps us to really stick to the video and to gain a tone of value from your content. Thank you so much for being there :) 1. My top free resource: KZbin And FreeCodeCamp 2. My top Tip to get your first job: I haven't get that first job. So, I think I am not a person who can answer this question. But what I have learned from other resources is that just work on your self i.e build meaningful projects, apply to 1000 companies (Of you preference), work on your communication skills. These were the things that I knew and thought would be worth sharing. Thank you so much everyone for reading till the end.

[@KimComplete]

I couldn't agree more to those tips, thanks for your feedback of my content 😊

[@rishavsharma765]

@@KimComplete Thank you, Kim. We would love to listen more from you about your struggles and your achievements. Please keep posting.

[@SereneEcho13]

1. you are GLOWING. 2. LOVE the #BAP. 3. I have absolutely no idea how someone gets a job in the field however having watched some of your other videos I can just say take some classes, work towards a certification (if you want one) and just apply. they worst they can say is No.

[@jetsonherrera7538]

Codecademy is great& I would recommend to anybody! Has helped me tons and I only have the free version. Can only imagine how helpful the pro version is.. I am still in the learning phase, so I do not have any tips for landing a job but I would recommend learning Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript as I have learned these (still learning JavaScript). Thank you Kim for this opportunity & for all your help through your videos, keep it up!

[@DanielCanizzo]

I'm brand new to web Development! Great video!

[@Whiskey_Actual]

Hi, Kim, I'm going to email you about one of your links.

[@karensanchez7539]

I’ve been working on my coding for about two years now , but it’s been off and on a lot due to work. My main resources have been Sololearn, Codecademy (free version) and KZbin tutorials. They’ve been plenty helpful in some aspects. Now as to interviews , I haven’t been on any for this field yet. But I would Love to get tips from anyone who has so when the time comes I can look back at all the comments. Love your videos I find them very helpful and I feel as if it’s completely normal that everyone gets in the ‘stuck’ stage. Thank!! I’ll keep watching ❤️

[@KimComplete]

Oh it is definitely common to get stuck! I think it takes a village to do almost anything

[@belelegualele6827]

Hi there! Greetings from Bolivia! my top free resources are youtube videos and the Coursera specialization of Web Development by the University of Michigan (you can take the class for free on Coursera but if you want to get a certificate you have to pay) Thank you for your very useful and inspirational videos Kim!

[@KimComplete]

That's so cool, I didn't know about that! Thanks for sharing!

[@DanielCanizzo]

Cannot answer number 2! But probably I'm going to look at Udemy to see a beginner course, do you have a good course I can get? Looking to make a move away from HVAC

[@KimComplete]

I haven't found just one Udemy course that I particularly love. Maybe another commenter will recommend one!

[@KimComplete]

Wow, that Pro Tip was awesome! It makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@rishavsharma765]

@@KimComplete And I really loved the type of engagement you are building by replying to every comment. Thank you for your time :)

[@mohamedimouchane4460]

My resource are : freecodecamp.com/ w3schools.com / edx / Linkedin learning / youtube channel like " traversy media ", " mayuko" , " kimcomplete", " adrian twarog" ... ext I ''m still learning so I haven't applied for a job yet...! Thanks for your good vibes

[@maplestoryinchinese]

You never mention how to applied for your first job....

[@KimComplete]

I did in other videos. I built a portfolio, hosted it online, put a link to it in my resume, and posted my resume everywhere online, and applied for jobs through LinkedIn, Dice.com, Indeed, USAjobs, and Monster. I constantly applied until I got a job!

[@MauriceWilliams]

Hi 🙋‍♂️ Kim I have a really great question. Did you or do you have to study 📚 math for your job as a programmer 👩‍💻?

[@KimComplete]

Nope. You must do well with logic, though.

[@itsmariaa18]

Thank you so so so much for this opportunity! Idk if this is still available bc it's 27 Nov. Sadly for the job part I don't know because I'm just starting this career path, I'm young and just trying to become a self taught web developer. My favourite resources rn are Codecademy, Khan Academy, FreeCodeCamp(their tutorials helped me A LOT) and obviously a lot of youtube and google.

[@esther.m3756]

My favorite course is codehs, I'm currently reading some books,Html & Css design and build websites by Jon duckett. It is really colourful and despite being a text book approch is really fun and easy to read. I can't answer the second question tho.

[@Blecyn]

Welcome back. It takes you a whole lot of weeks to share with us. May the winner of this giveaway use it and be productive with it.

[@AfternoonBubble]

My top free resources are youtube, freecodecamp, and codeacademy. Top tip (from an online article) is to apply to any tech job and with a company that has a development team. That'll get your foot in the door, and you can interact and help the development team workload with your coding skills. Then when the opportunity comes, transfer or apply for the team!

[@user-rb4gq2rx8n]

I’m still new to this but I’m using solo learn. Thanks for this opportunity ❤️

[@infiltretor287]

1. I’m reading books from The Tech Academy and watching KZbin videos to learn the basics of code. 2. Just started the free trial of Codecademy today.

[@balletxdancer]

My top resources have been freecodecamp, youtube, and books from the library!

[@kingchubs]

Hey! I'm currently studying a conversion course in Computer Science. What really helped me was using youtubes free video resources for the language i wanted to practice. I couldnt really afford a membership as a student 😭. I am also currently looking for a job, so I am looking forward to what other advice commenters have to give.

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

Team Treehouse was a great resource for me to learn CSS. I haven't gotten my first job though.

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

I like these odds. haha. I've never really heard much about codecadamy, but I will have to look into it.

[@ianchadderton3554]

Nice work Kim

[@KimComplete]

Thank you 😊
