Programming Tips for Beginners 1. Purpose to learn coding 2. Set a goal and deadline 3. Select a good course (cs50) 4. Find a field in coding (like AI) 5. Practice a lot (build a project)

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Here's a list of coding concepts you should focus on understanding as a beginer: 1. variables 2. datatypes (int, string, list etc) 3. control flow, ie if statements, conditional statements 4. for and while loops 5. object-oriented programming (classes, objects) 6. functions and methods (and what is their difference)

[@vazdabilo6983]

i started cs50p (python) and am lost on beggining he speak and do things so fast and didnt even go through visual code setup

[@AdrianTregoning]

Keep at it. It took me 6 months to finish it. I highly recommend looking at Bro Code's channel to help with some of the coding. CS50 is quick paced and David's lectures don't give you starting points. It will be worth it, more or less. Just be gentle on yourself. All the best.

[@nightmare-9467]

Previously learnt Python, R and MATLAB back in school, but my body and soul largely rejected it (possibly because I got bad grades for those classes 😅, and also I didn’t have a strong purpose behind taking those classes). Recently, I started doing the Complete 2022 Web Development Bootcamp taught by Dr Angela Yu on Udemy with the intention of going into freelance web development, and this time… this feels different. I have a good feeling about this. I’m about 3 weeks in now, and just yesterday, I secured a micro-gig to help fix up a tiny section of the website for a local business in my area. 🎉🎉 Honestly, the advice given in this video is gold. I’ve followed some of it and found some success. Who knows how much more all of us can achieve by completing all of these steps. Cheers guys and girls, we got this 💪🏼

I started learning web development a year ago but i was not consistent in learning. I learned HTML, CSS and Javascript (basics). For some reasons I started learning webdriverio and now i am in the middle of it. I hope i get it done and get my first job in this field since i like web automation and i have a background of web automation using UIPATH. But my main programming language is JAVASCRIPT.

[@roxanalucaci8830]

Hi, really new to coding and I just started the CS50 course. I have a really dumb q 😅 just wanted to ask you if I can do all the assigments and everything throughout the course without the credentials like a student would? Because I can't really figure it out if i'm missing some info and can't configure all the apps or there is only a certain point that you can "reach" without actually being a student 😆 thank you 🙏🏻

Hi. I absolutely love ur work. Thank you for all the materials. When you talk about CS50, do you mean to take the certification or just audit the course? I started CS50X introduction to comp science

audit, definitely do NOT pay for the cert!!

I've done a Java course with Codecademy but didn't really enjoy it. I completed Harvard's CS50 course which as you say, is difficult. I struggled. I'm 41 years old so maybe that's a factor. For a while I struggled with a very boring Udemy course on Java. Yesterday I signed up with Zero to Mastery and I feel like a new man already. Refreshing, engaging, useful. Oh, and I'm glad I found this channel. Great advice - thank you Tuomas.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

fantastic!!

[@ToneeBologna.]

its not fluff its the truth. if you lack passion for what you're doing, you will not have that driving force to get off the ground when you hit rock bottom. being in it to make money is not good enough, you have to want to do this even if it paid minimum wage. that's true passion.

[@justusftw5538]

I am trying to solve and code the tideman problem from CS50 which kicking my ass!

[@InternetMadeCoder]

haha yes it did for me too

[@insaneindian5083]

Bro should i do data structures and algorithms in java or c++ , btw love your videos and following you from the day when you just started youtube.

[@anoridinaryhumanbeing70]

DSA is about knowing the essential concepts and practicing leetcode problems. It is about problem solving.. c++ / java are 'languages' -- they have nothing to do with DSA as such. Language is about the syntax -- not problem-solving. So it doesn't really matter(definitely so for a beginner like you) as to whether you choose cpp or java for DSA -- focus on practicing leetcode instead! Btw, once you've mastered the problem-solving ability by consistent practice like Internet Made Coder,, learning another 'language' and shifting your DSA practice to that one would be pretty easy -- so just start already with either(my thing is Python tho)! Good luck :)

Hi Tuomas, I recently started learning with your notion template and have a question. Some courses are on Coursera, which offers only 7 day trial with courses access. Is it worth to pay 49USD/month for this content or there are some other options for free? I am total beginner, but your videos inspired me a lot

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Awesome! See if they have the option to audit for free. If not, not worth it if you can find free alternatives, but otherwise they are worth it if it’s the only good option to learn that particular content

[@djbobby224]

If you want to do python for everybody for free, I would recommend free code camp. They have a python certification that gives you access to python for everybody for free. For Javascript I would recommend the odin project or free code camp

Excellent video, my friend. The most important part is the 'intro'. Anyone learning anything (for example: learn to program) needs to take a step backwards and self-reflect about the reason and motivation behind these endeavors. Having the ability to use my computer as a tool to create things is my motivation. Getting a job in this field will happen eventually, but for now, I am enjoying the incremental progress from my studies; it's a marathon, not a race. I am not going to get 1st place in this marathon but I will make it to the finish line.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Absolutely spot on, and that is great motivation! Also for me, I had the same goal as you (and still do).
