Will it take me a year to become a developer programmer? |

[@albertomadrazo6136]

It took me 3 years of training myself constantly, and once I started looking for a job, it took me 4 months to get one. I don't regret the decision, I've been coding for money 1 year and 4 months now. Also, I started when I was 33 years old, now I'm 37. For me the best thing to do was to learn PHP, because in my country there is a lot of PHP jobs. All I learned most of those 3 years was Python, which is fine, but there is not a lot of Python jobs here. So learn what companies ask for first.

You truly are an inspiration.

MY MAN! I'm 31 now and i just started few weeks ago. It's never too late for someone who want to change his live :)

[@juliusregalado]

yo im 32 and just decided a carrer change recently.. its been a month now and ive been learning every chance i get.. im thru html and css and now im learning javascript.. any advice?

[@codinggrunt1295]

Hey man, I know this is an old ass post, but you inspire the shit out of me. I'm almost 30 and I know age is not a big deal but Ive been freaking myself out over it...Thanks for sharing your story

[@ne9835]

Nice

[@mmbower1]

Thanks for the great advice. You're the first coding programmer Ive come across with street mentality so you def give different aspects and angles from the typical nerd and say things the way it is.

[@busyrand]

If it takes a year, or longer, decide whether or not you are worth the sacrifice it takes to change your life & career path. It might take you longer than it takes others, but so what. It's like working out only because you wanna get huge muscles or abs in short time. If it takes years, but improves your lifestyle then it's worth it.

[@InchyStories]

this was incredible advice. thanks cody for sharing your knowledge and experience in being a true developer. Even though i know nothing of web development

[@arielparadise2229]

Disagree quality of lifestyle is not always about more money some people it's what they Do day in day out on a day in basis. Some people work in corporate jobs and they make big money but are depressed and unhappy they may have dreamed of dancing or becoming a sports player

[@jeannie52487]

I gave myself 6 months to code, get my skills up & build a portfolio to start applying to jobs so this vid was really helpful in inspiring confidence in my own timeline for the career switch. thanks Joe

[@siddhartharoy5263]

Got the job ?

[@JacoBluezz]

I'm part of this course where they are teaching us python and the fundamentals of thinking like a programmer and the course is moving really fast. I'm only one month in, but I've been messing around with html/python for a couple months and I'm getting very discouraged already. You help me keep my head up and keep trucking so I appreciate these videos Joe. I just wish we could switch brains for a day lol

[@ak47ava]

bro you have to take breakes, dont do this shit 7 days a week. it is one of the ways to burn yourself out.

[@CodingPhase]

Don't worry it will come to you trust me

[@SweepingDeveloper]

Note to self: Make a list of projects you want to build. This way, it keeps me focused on actually doing the projects instead of wasting time. I can think "Wait a minute, I got something I can do, let's go!" For example, I made a quick Python script to convert tax withholding data to an Excel formula. An idea popped in my head: "Wait, I can do the same thing in Javascript, JQuery, PHP, whatever, and with some good UI, everyone can use it!" With these ideas, I gotta WRITE IT DOWN. That way, in conjunction with the Coding Phase training, I can crank out some cool stuff for a portfolio. Ok, so what does this have to do with becoming a paid developer? If you have an idea of a useful project to show employers, make a note of it, then do it! If you don't know how to do certain features, learn what you need, then do it!

[@CodingPhase]

thats a good plan

[@c.trizzy8849]

just signed up for your all access pass on your website! ready to grind and learn from the best!

[@muhammadsaad7400]

You just tell the reality to be a good developer!! all is that we need dedication and time! Love you boy!!!

[@marcusemunroe]

Thanks man that was very encouraging

[@alexmachin1785]

Learning code isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Also In the UK especially its never just HTML,CSS and JS its that + 10 or 5 other things. One problem I have is I get fixated on a project, Im always improving it and adding extra functionality or making the code cleaner. Is this a problem ?

[@akdimnet1076]

Keep on enlightening us ! 🙏

[@jondisla]

Love the channel man fu real!

[@summertimeinchile72]

Thanks great vid motivation we almost keep on learning you need to invest the time I make a day 20 bucks a day but I keep on hacking away in learning I live in Chile and my job is cooking but I look forward keep on scraping will see you soon in another job great job coding phase what up keep it real!!!

[@ukelaalred2575]

Real talk! Thank you!

[@KiingCam96]

[@itzMarcMan]

Damn bro, everything you post is FIIIIIIIIRE 🔥🔥 or what?!

[@damien7490]

I don't have ad block on my phone and every time I click your video..."python is where it's at". Every. Time.

[@TheRealCasadaro]

Real talk fam!

[@CodingPhase]

Yes sir!

[@theodoregreen687]

thanks Joe, great video.

[@FANESS06]

[@jeremygardner3926]

FANESS06 coming to America. Best movie ever, lol

[@eMoneyBagzzz]

Bro you keep forgetting the Ch ch ch chyeah! That shit hypes me up 🔥

[@matthewsmith9565]

Great advice joe

[@jjsmithlago1234]

Thanks Joe!

[@webdevviolinist1698]

Joe, im'ma get obese cuz you dousing us with so much sauce! This video is going on my gym/10K training playlist.

[@griigsee8316]

You speak truth! 👍

[@ak47ava]

I need that Luck Sauce bro. I am steal it joe.

[@frederikantonio5742]

I learned java and c in my uni. How long will it take me besides my studies to become a decent developer?

[@qutielove2208]

I'm sure the HTML email course was made later but where in the list would I do that? Also from what I'm gathering That's a good skill to take on quick freelance projects and that's what I want in the beginning then move up to harder languages.

[@AndysSociety1]

I am really good at CSS and HTML. Still practicing javascript. You telling me I can find a job with css. Damn maybe $15 an hour

[@alexreitz3146]

Are you going to do a project that is building a portfolio to put all of the other projects onto?

[@CodingPhase]

Yes its in my site I started it on the node js course

[@nicolejsaunders]

Any advice if there are no junior development jobs in my area? I’m super motivated to put myself out there and do what it takes to get a job. Just not sure what to do if the jobs aren’t available close to me. Do people hire junior developers remotely?

[@joshsturgess2219]

I'm in your same position, and my advice is to be open to relocating if the right opportunity comes for you. Also, try attending the closest tech/coding meetups near your area and meet people. Most remote positions require allot of trust and usually only go to experienced devs, but there is always freelancing too! Good luck!

[@paulrush9166]

Yeah, rockin the Nirvana shirt - rad 😏

[@s.nikolic497]

thx for the helpful informations

[@davideiaiunese1426]

Joe, what do you think is better and why: study only front-end for 3-4 months as you said in the video or study how to build a website front-end and back-end, thus taking much more time before being able to apply? You know in another comment I linked you this guide I'm following now - github.com/P1xt/p1xt-guides/blob/master/job-ready.md - but I'm tempted to take other courses like the web developer bootcamp course on Udemy. Do you believe I should continue on this path or choose other course based on the timeline?

[@CodingPhase]

I think you need to atleast master html and css if you can build any page from any design then you are ready to do backend

[@invisibleliberty2275]

I graduated from University of Phoenix about 3 years ago and still to have someone call me about anything web development related. Most have been 3 month jobs. Any advice?

[@dwaynegenx72]

Good video, Joe. i hope you have my email question coming down the pipe soon.

[@Iamjoelangel]

pure facts

[@InteresThingvideos]

Joe i was developing java apps before i jumped into web development do i need to include those projects on my portfolio? those projects is just for programming practice.

[@CodingPhase]

+ralp dexter Bongato yea it wont hurt u.

[@hamsteroncoffee]

I absolutely love your advice: When you get home, you go programming! Hahah :)

[@macoolit5673]

Best advise

[@caroldanvers265]

Thanks Joe for the real advice. I'm learning to get good at #es6 javascript and react with reflux. Now I'm focusing on the projects to create something nice.

[@Jamila91100]

I want to start your courses and the other courses that you recommanded but I am first waiting on getting my computer. I have the choice of either working with an old Macbook pro 2013 or getting a new updated verson. In your opinion does it matter which Mac to get ? and I know you have a list of courses to take but Can you go into details which courses to take first or last? I am just not sure on which to start Teamtreehouse etc

[@ak47ava]

bro i am doing it on a 200 dollar laptop and 300 dollar desktop homie.

[@CodingPhase]

fatima you are good I've been working for the past 5 years on a 2012 13inch macbook pro... this is my first year that i have a new computer.. you don't need something new at all if you get a 2012 15in or 17in you good trust me. Because u can update the hard drive at any moment change the ram.

[@Jamila91100]

CodingPhase. thank you very much for responding !

[@GodOfWarGameZ]

Great video man!! Loads of 🔥 and inspiration. Need to make my own luck 💪👌

[@jaylotto6322]

If i want to learn backend do i need to learn front end? Can i go straight to backend?

[@CodingPhase]

Just know html and css and basics of javascript before jumping to the backend trust me they are super easy

[@masterofthemash5310]

Why is it called future proof js?

[@mza1409]

new es versions may add new fearures to js but the core fundamenatls of the language dont really change

[@masterofthemash5310]

Mza thats what i thought thx

[@RhinoW0ody_]

You are awesome

[@farintinobialor7023]

One moRE TIME!

[@aprodan5245]

Super motivating. Gonna buy your courses. Fk udemy

Ibnever took joe for a nirvana fan

[@CodingPhase]

I'm super into rock specially punk rock from 70s 80s. 90s i like a few bands.. the 90s was a weird time for rock
