To those who are seeking to create a new project and don't know what to do, pick anything! A majority of stuff you learn on one project will carry over to the next. Making gui applications do carry from desktop to mobile, embedded does carry over to games and other low level apis. Don't worry and just start!

I am confused between web apps and games actually, i had tried game dev earlier, but didn't do it seriously! But the idea of coming up with a game idea and turning it into a prototype and if it works, doing all the art, music and coding and finally polishing it excites me, i love the game design part of game dev most and participation in game jam to work collaboratively with a team to create a game also makes me energised On the other hand, I have tried learning html css and js and tried to see the whole curriculum of web dev, i also want to create web apps through finding unique ideas and implementing them through code by problem solving(personal projects) The problem is I have limited time and I cns only start with one right now, but I am confused which one it should be

I took my courses and ended up being a dev for one of my state government departments. I get paid less than devs in private but my health insurance, guaranteed vacation/sick/personal time, retirement options and... most importantly... JOB SECURITY are all top notch. I work remotely 50% of the time, and am giving my family a better life than I ever expected coming from a pretty low income family growing up.

I got my degree in mechanical engineering in 2005. I obviously worked for well over a decade. Tried my own business at a stage, twice. 2020 came by, moving on... I'm 42 and probably just a few short months away from applying for my first job. The road is not easy. You will want to quit. Hell I wanted to quit last week, again. But I didn't. Keep on keeping on, eventually you get there, one small step at a time. As for money, it's a short term motivator. You can be earning $300k a year and still be unhappy. I wouldn't ever choose a career path based on money. Go for what's interesting. Ultimately the perfect job doesn't exist anyway. All the best, and start today, for whoever is reading this. Consistency is key.

To those who are talking about a CS Degree or "hating" it. Let me just remind you something. By studying CS it's NOT just Code = programmer. CS is a Science with a lot of fields and each field has some code in it, deal with it. Nowadays Almost every science need coding at least for something. BUT, as I said, CS is not just CODE. CS is a Science and as science must be treated. I'm a Network Engineer from CS university, am I a programmer? No. Do I know how to code (FOR MY FIELD) yes. So, in very simple way, you're not studying CS cause you want to be a programmer, you studying CS cause you want to be a Computer Scientist or an Engineer. You can become a programmer without any degree by just working on projects and watching KZbin. In network engineering and Computer Security I mostly spend (and still spending) MOST of my time working on maths than coding and if someone followed this path from CS knows exactly what I'm saying ( yeah yeah, I know, Computer Security and Cybersecurity is more complex and they need good coding foundation but that's not my point here (: ). Finally, Cause you studying CS doesn't mean you will become a programmer (and TBH it's the least you have to deal with). By studying CS just cause you want to code without considering the other factors such as, engineering, maths etc. etc. then don't. It's better if you try some projects by your own and following some tutorials or taking some courses and build your own portfolio. CS is not about coding, but about mathematics and then coding. Some fields require less maths while others require very good maths knowledge and if you want to go down that "CS path" you will tackle almost all of them without any reason once you want to become a programmer. Studying CS is not about programmers only and if you want to follow CS to become a programmer it's a good idea but not the best (nowadays)~

Another way I have been learning to code is by having AI to explain code. And then ask it to give a quiz on what I just learned. By doing this I have learned to read code and write code. I've also had AI give me a 100 question test and then grade it and see where I need to work on more. Now I am a better programmer and I feel much better about what I read and write code. Sometimes I found myself forgetting something and having to go back and refresh. But by using this idea with AI, I have gotten much stronger in my coding.. I agree with you on getting your hands in something and just start writing code.. I just wanted to add this to your video. Test taking is another way to learn coding. Plus you can see where you need help if you get something wrong or something not working EX EX EX..

Still, I also want to learn to make some games (and learn other languages more suited to building games), even though I don't even play computer games myself. Seriously, besides Heroes of Might and Magic 15 years ago, I've never really played games. But, they seem like a cool thing to try so why not. Also, apps interest me.

I am all about the build-build-build. It’s a good way to learn, ideally it’s fun, and also it helps you figure out if you really want to do this. However, one gotcha if you intend on taking classes? You’ll be more bored than you have ever been in your life with the first course or two. The first day was explaining the difference between integers and floating point and other very-basic basics. And my teacher doesn’t have a 2x speed button either. At least in my case, if I want the certificate, I have to take the entry level course. Hey, at least it isn’t typing; back in the 90s in high school, I had to take a half year of typing to get into the Turbo Pascal programming class, and I was already sitting a little above 100wpm by that point. I got the micromanaging typing teacher too. I don’t use classic home row positioning, so we repeatedly had the “use home row” why? “It is faster” cool, show me? “I don’t type as fast as you” - Well yeah, I know, maybe that’s because you spend your time worrying about home row? 😂 Eve more fun, we both knew that home row positioning was like 10% of the grade, actual typing speed or showing an improvement would nail the other 90% and I nailed both. “Fun” times.

One has to be stupid to think that being a software engineer will bring you fortune Its just regular earnings you will make by doing 9-5 Lawyer and other professional makes way more than a soft Engineer with less work

I created a react native app cli where i want to connect BLE(BlueTooh Low Energy) devices using ble-manager npm. It was tedious for me just to setup, SDKs, right jdk , handle, and get to how things happens, but it was a nice experience for me get to know about the working of Bluetooth within app.

I like computers and solving problems, but I spent most of my career putting Band-Aids on software cancers. There's a great market for keeping ancient, home-grown systems running. However, weeding through code built on horrible designs gets old. If I had it to do all over again, I'd be an actuary.

I did a code bootcamp and came out hating web dev. 5 years later and today I am making a blog and learning Rust. I want to become one of the low level systems programmers I always envied. I do not care for the modern web app ecosystem.

Another great video, But you do get paid a LOT more in USA than in the UK. Starting junior salary in UK for any type is about 21k Sterling, equates to about 26k USD. This is why the UK has such a huge deficit in Programmer's..........

So, I want to learn coding and mostly Python for ArcGIS and other GIS purposes. Any recommendations? I'm an experienced GIS specialist using ArcGIS Pro and other ArcGIS products. However, I want to expand my knowledge and abilities. I will also need to learn HTML and JavaScript to build some of ArcGIS Online's hub sites. I really appreciate this video and how you present everything. Thank you.

My only issue is trying to find a job that fits with the weird schedule of my main job. I work 24hours on 48hours off and need a job to fill those "off days". Im sure Im not doing the appkication process right as it has likely changed in the years since I last applied in tech. But Its been an uphill battle the last year for sure.

Chat bots and youtube tutorials are best for piecing the puzzle together. it's like learning to read before you learn to write. It's a terrible idea to learn how to program by typing aimlessly in the terminal expecting results. Tutorial hell is following a video, screen switching, and copying while you have no idea of the fundementals. I'd compare it people repeating a forign language as they hear it and expecting to know the meaning if they repeat it more without the words ever being translated.
