Hello CS Dojo. Thank you for your videos! You have taught me what my school couldn't. Could you please make a video about Big O notation and Computational Theory. That would help A LOT! I haven't found one good video about that subject (please go slow because that is a very difficult subject for me) -> How to calculate the Big o of an algorithm -> Prepositions -> functional programming (maybe)

Hi mate. I’m a 56 year old Australian with 2 x 20+ year old sons who are coders. I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at it also to continue our family connections. I just wanted to say that THIS VIDEO you made for beginners is the BEST I HAVE SEEN and has really inspired someone like me. Your delivery, knowledge, pace and understanding of the information new people are looking was terrific. I’ve subscribed and will be watching a lot more of your videos.

[@chwinqel]

I like how you mention how difficult and intimidating setting up an environment can be for beginners. Also, I like the mention of Bitcoin and the project discussion overall. One thing that motivates me as a beginner is building simple projects but based on or related to large, complex things. In terms of tutorials you, Algo-man, and Tim are the big 3 ! lol

[@birkoyun8432]

As my first projects, I chose to make Discord bots. Just simple things, like collecting message data (length of messages, how much each letter occurs per message, etc.), and leaderboards for servers using that data. This is great for learning important things like databases, and a lot of basic stuff. Totally recommend it.

[@SakuraBlossoms44]

In my Cs and programming path i've been through so many rabbit holes that i've lost count of them, gasping and almost drowning in an ocean of concepts and theories, and almost got stuck forever in a '" i don't know what i'm doing i am soooo stupid i cannot deal with myself anymore" belief, but my resilience is mammoth and finally, all by myself found the way out of this labyrinth, still a lot to go but i see the light in front of me.

[@ebukachuqz]

you're a blessing. you really helped my confused programming career. Thanks a lot, God bless you. Love from Nigeria

I am so much inspired by you. You inspire me the most to continue learning programming. Thanks CS Dojo.

[@WNL2013]

Mr. One how’s the learning going

[@thweekndlover911]

yeah im curious

[@MrOneMusic]

@Magistar M Nope, I am a high schooler now in my final year though I worked on various group projects on "programming" with my friends. I took some offline courses on python, now I know intermediate level python. I also learnt MySQL and Web Designing(HTML and CSS), I also took Computer Science Classes in my High School, although Programming is just my secondary hobby, I mostly focus on my School Studies and give more focus to Maths, Physics and Chemistry as these are my favourite subjects. So, yeah overall it's going amazing and once I clear my college entrance exam I would major in CS and Engineering.

[@mathabahassan3471]

Hello, I am sorry to comment here after a long time😅 but this video was a couple of years ago and I am afraid no one would see my comment. When he mentioned step 2 he said "start building your personal projects" that is after learning the basics. The thing is projects honestly seem really intimidating and I feel like I'm not ready to build a project even though it's been 2 years since I've learned all the basics he mentioned in the video. I think I should mention this as well. I didn't do that many exercises on programming at all so do you think I should start a project right away(Considering that I know the fundamentals really well) or should I do some practice before jumping to building a project? Please if you have the time I'd really appreciate it if you answer my question. Thank you in advance :))

[@somebodyhere3160]

@@mathabahassan3471 I’d say that you should just start working on a project since that really is, in my experience the best way to reinforce the basics you’ve learned.When you’re learning programming, as long as you aren’t doing something like preparing for a coding interview or something important like that, it isn’t really necessary to do much exercise, as long as you keep on actually using the stuff you’ve learned, and if you forget anything Stack Overflow is always your friend.(or documentation)

[@sammymaness6887]

@@viswamohan5258 Well you have to set up a coding environment, for example Visual Studio Code or PyCharm and install Python on it.
