44:00 If anyone is confused about this example regarding rows and columns, the narrator has made a mistake and switched it to columns and rows instead. In the first example, (0,2 Position) will give you the answer of *Arnold* and not Clint. The second example (1:1 Position) will present you with *Ben* and not Chris. Remember, Rows first and columns second when it comes to Arrays. Rows run Horizontally and Coulmns run Vertically.

This is the ONLY beginner course I've found that actually explains stuff properly for... BEGINNERS! Every other course whether free or paid has started with "place a variable here" without explaining WHAT A VARIABLE IS. It's all fine a good to assume people know what the vernacular means. But what that is not, is "a beginner course". THIS, this is a beginner course! You guys start from zero and define the terms and vernacular of programming and make it accessible. I have learned so much from this one video, that all the other stuff I learned and didn't understand before, is making sense now. Thank you.

[@FlyingTech-sj8xe]

Dude you described exactly me, lol. The fact that we started from complete scratch gets us in a less clunky road because coding is starting to make sense.

I just started a coding class and the teacher is assuming all of the class already has basic notions of programming. A few of us don't, including myself. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

[@Official_KC]

This is a big thing I've noticed too. I think a lot of programming courses expect you to know the basics for some weird reason. When in reality, the most foundational part is extremely important. Or else everyone will be lost going higher up. It's like if you taught Algebra to 5 year olds, expecting them to know all of the previous information. It wouldn't work out well. I honestly think a lot of people who code have a tendency to be socially unaware in general. So they don't even think about something like this. Not ALL people who program obviously, but enough for it to be a stereotype.

[@timtech9361]

Recommendation. When you started the topic with Arrays, it is better to start with the fact that arrays are different than lists in where a list can hold on different elements (String, Int, Bool etc.), while an array can only hold on of each element (Strings only, Int only, Bool only etc). It will make much more sense throughout the rest of the lesson.

My IT friends said programming is difficult and I said that's the main reason I want to do it. I like challenges and it doesn't matter how long it will take me to master it but I will never give up.

[@j3htro203]

Yeah, I started it because I like making these stuff with logic, I'm a computer science university student from EU (Hungary) and made some bigger projects lately, and I just wanted to say that it's difficult, not because it's hard or anything like that, once you understand how to program it's fairly "easy" to do stuff, it's hard because you have to learn a lot, and I mean a ton to be able to do stuff by your own, and since this industry is always changing, you will always have to learn new stuff even when you're not in school. And if you're done with videos, and you understand the basics you must have to get yourself a smaller project that you want to make, because if you always stick to videos and tutorials you will never get out of the beginner stage, at least this is how I was "ready" for a job, but to be honest I still google a lot of things.

I can’t describe how much I love this tutorial. As someone who one day decided to learn programming as a hobby, I was very frustrated how many so called “tutorials” expect you to already know the basics before they even begin (basics is a loose terms, frankly there’s nothing basic about it to me!) I really wanted to give up, I felt stupid every time they’d start writing out a line of code without actually explaining WHY those words were being used in that order, why they were written that way, the difference between a colon and a semicolon or a variable and a float. So to finally find one that explains things and in a way that makes sense… well all I can say is thank you for not making me feel stupid. Maybe I won’t give up after all.

[@amnasaeed8252]

same is the case with me. They just start writing a random code. And I am always like why and howwww are they even writing it. Like how do they know that use this symbol after that one. But thank God I found this tutorial. Atleast they teach the basics.

I really picked it up as a fun little hobby/hyperfixation, but I'm not sure if I have the mental capacity for this sort of thing. I might pick it up again someday, but for now it was a fun little experiment to add to my list of dropped hobbies.

@@xx-zp4or First advice, think critically. Test your code, always, and have your friends test it. If you're lost or confused, KZbin and Google are your friends. Be open to suggestions. Always, always, always practice coding, i was coding 5+ hours a day (some on projects, some projects were for fun). By end of semester you will see a huge difference from your first project and your last project. Start with python first, it's easy and simple and sets a foundation that will allow you to understand how to code in other languages.

[@lockofmetal8894]

Just watched the entire 2 hours. Thanks alot. I studied programming 1 on distance, which introduced me to C++ and the "Hello world." But i honestly felt like i learned it waay better and faster this way. A broader approach to programming in general and then introduce the different variants was very helpful. I never considered javascript or Python, since i practically only touched c++. C++ and C# seemed a bit tough for me to tackle because right after the course, i don't do small projects, no i jump into making my first videogame, ye... didn't get very far. I never had the chance to study IT in school because when i was a 16, it was 2010 and even so short as 11 years ago, parents were like "take a subject that gives you an easy job." Ended up studying electrician, which i havn't worked as for even a second after that. And IT is so big it's very hard to get into, especially if you can't be taught it already from school. So this helped me ALOT, im so thankful for it. Python looked interesting to me, so im probably taking a peek at it.
