I am a full time iOS engineer that studied Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. In this video, I cover the 3 ways to break into the Software Engineering field with 0 coding experience. More specifically through school, bootcamps, and self-taught.
All software engineers are all self-taught in a way. The main struggle that a self-taught engineer has is that they lack structure. They don't know where to start, what to study, and they get lost in all of the different languages and technologies that they have to learn.
I created this video in hopes of demystifying how someone with 0 experience can get into the field. I have provided a road map for 2022 of how someone can self-teach themselves programming and land a job in the field very quickly! Hopefully, you can use this roadmap, or a part of it to help you speed up your coding journey!
Good luck!

​@@CodewithVincenthello sir, I'm also a 15 years old student wanting to be a software engineering. I only have two questions, What course should i take? Should I go to BSIT, Computer Science or Direct to Software engineer. Also, I wanted to start learning how to code, what programming language should i learn first? Thank you

⁠@@lorrainelauren9770Hi, I’m also a 15 year old like you and I had that question too. I would recommend getting into computer science because you can open a lot of opportunities in jobs with it. Like many good tech jobs require a computer science degree and you can also transition into another job if you’re unsatisfied with the current one.

​@@lorrainelauren9770I m 17 atm and would highly recommend you to try harvards cs50 python, after that cs50 introduction to computer science. I think it will give you good structure for later (and you get a free certificate at the end of it). Python imo is the most friendly one but if you would like to make it your career one day, search up which planguage is mostly used in your country. Good luck!

Thanks Vincent. This is helpful! One thing, let's say you've got basic/intermediate Python or JS knowledge. What kinds of projects should self-taught students start building to put in their portfolios? This is something that still seems very abstract to me as someone in that position. (I don't think PyGames are good portfolio pieces, but maybe I'm wrong!) Thanks!

ughh.... it's not easy to be a self-taught programmer it took me a year and a half to learn DJango and React, yet there's still so much to learn and that is exciting part. but you are right no structure of where to start and what path to take, like everyone else I started Python, then when I tried Javascript, to me they are both similar, that is the advantage of learning Python because once you get the hang of it you almost would certainly be able to understand under prog language. IF you don't wanna waste your time and get a job quickly just go learn Javascript, you can never go wrong.

You definitely know what are you talking about. Which direction of software engineering do you recommend to choose? I tried frontend, and I don't love it. Then I tried iOS development with Swift and i love it. But vacancies a lot more for web developers than iOS developers. And now I'm wondering which one to choose? Maybe choose Android development or backend with Java?
@CodewithVincent
@CodewithVincent 2 жыл бұрын
My recommendation is to do what you love. Stop switching roles based on some rumours you have heard about vacancies. If you like iOS, then go down that path. There are actually a lot of openings for iOS I know personally because I get reached out for positions all the time. Now it doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the whole stack of backend and frontend, it will definitely make you a stronger hire! Good luck :)

Start interviewing early. Every failed interview is a free peer-review on different skill sets you have, allowing you to quickly see where you are lacking and where you can focus more of your study time on. Not only that, but you begin to connect with recruiters and people in the industry who may be able to point you in other directions more suited for your skillset at the time. Good luck :)

Hello, I am 36 years old. Over a month I am very interested in coding. But I am, as you said in your video have zero experience in this field. After seeing your video I am excited to start, as you have motivated me. Currently I work as a Document Controller, with more than 10 years experience. But, you know after 36-40 nowhere to be hired as a document controller, cause most of the companies need young and female workers for this kind of jobs, honestly. Okay, I am motivated to start also I got free time to learn, let it take a year. But my question is - can I get a job, doesn't matter actually as a freelance or direct employee? This is the question, which I wonder. Thank you for great video.

Any advice on "The Odin Project"? which seems what most people recommend, and many people do actually land a job once they complete it. I just lost my job and started with it (used to study Python long time ago and now I'm super rusty), also since I am based in the UK, seems like most Junior roles are mainly for "Javascript" and hardly any for Python, unless you go for Data Science route. Would love to hear your advise on this, do you think following your links (freecode route) is a better option and slightly quicker?
@CodewithVincent
@CodewithVincent 9 ай бұрын
Hey; so I've personally never done Odin project so I can't advise there, but I did hear good things about it. In regards to this video, I recommend starting with python because it's super easy to pick up, and then you can transition to JavaScript later on. Honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what resource you use. What matters is which one makes sense to you and which one you can commit to. Feel free to check out my tutorial series, it starts with python and ramps up to frontend development. Give it a try 😊

I just graduated college with a Bachelors in CS but i never did any internships or have any real world experience. I also dont feel like I learned much/ forgot the things I learned during college :( do you have any advice for someone like me.

Hey! So my big recommendation here is to do PROJECTS to boost your resume. Also, if we learned the same stuff in CS, I'm gonna assume they didn't really teach you how to build applications. So I'd highly recommend starting! If you forgot stuff, feel free to check out my bootcamp series, it should be a quick refresher and help you build projects :) And since you already have a degree, I'd recommend you start applying for jobs after you finish 1 small project, and continue to build as you apply!

Hey, so how long do you work as a software engineer? How much do you earn? Does it have a good work life balance?
@CodewithVincent
@CodewithVincent Жыл бұрын
I work a regular 9-5. Work life balance is determined by yourself. It is your choice if you want to work hard and go for promotions, or if you want to just do the required work and live your life. In terms of how much I earn, I have videos where I share my salary progression. Cheers

That's something you'll have to arrange with a company ☺️ many big companies have strict timelines for internships, I.e Only during the summer, while others are more flexible and hire interns throughout the year!

@CodewithVincent
@CodewithVincent Жыл бұрын
Every single website uses html and CSS so you will need it. You don't need to follow my roadmap. I recommend web development after python because it's kind of hard to get a job with just python. With web development you can build a portfolio and showcase it!
