Speaking as a retired FORTRAN and VB programmer. My advice to all aspiring programmers is to figure out what industry you would like to be in. In other words, I would not show gaming programming to a bank and vice versa. Also please remember to 'comment' your code also check the error returns to functions. As for web apps, error returns are the ultimate guard against injection.

[@aravinds6406]

The video editing and making style have improved a lot. Superb !....

[@PostNutPreNut]

Working as a trucker/logging truck operator at the moment and learning programming on the few free days that i have, definitely felt the " don't be like Thomas".

[@InternetMadeCoder]

oh nice haha

[@levmarkelov]

thanks for these great tips & concept projects - you’re helping us beginners get our first job like no one else! I just finished my todo app (the hello world of first projects lol) and now want to start building a quiz game (with backend functionality so users can keep track of their scores, share progress etc) Like I told you a few weeks ago, I WILL get my first junior dev job within 6months to a year; and it’s thanks to you!

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Nice work Lev!!

Glad I saw this, I was about to go back to my old job stocking

[@marveII0us]

Awesome video! Learnt a lot of useful stuff in here. Also, when you gave a Jeffery like example, I was like hmm, that sounds familiar to Hamza, and then there it was, when you showed your home page. Used different tactics with your own touch pretty nicely!!

[@InternetMadeCoder]

haha busted, yes indeed, this was inspired by his style!

[@toumabernabe737]

Thank you for this channel man. You´re so inspiring, really enjoy listening your advice and opinions.

[@muhammadumersiddiqui4725]

Loved your content bro! Keep it up

[@nikoladojcinovic1030]

Nice video, well done!

[@lightwoodalec5037]

Appreciation for this channel.... I found ur videos a month ago. And since I have pretty much binged watched everything... To the point where if I want to procastinate coding I watch ur videos instead 😅

[@InternetMadeCoder]

wow haha thanks...although I would still prefer you to code and not procrastinate but thanks anyway😁

[@karenpatriciahuaman6555]

thanks man. love your videos

[@harmagedon64]

Thanks for another great vid!

[@gospeltruthproclaimed]

Principles: 1. Quality over quantity. 2. Show a range of skills 3. Think like a recruiter 4. Solve a problem Thank you.

[@hamzyab]

Unlike those "straight-to-the-point" coding channels, you're quite the motivator. Excellent combo Thomas. I'm learning JAVA. I'll use your principles for my projects too

[@EFoxVN]

I agree. Some of those can make you feel more demotivated at the end of the video. This one does not.

[@faizanahmed9304]

Hi, thank you for this video. The tips you've given in this video are top notch. Btw I need your advice, I've made a blog using frontend framework like NextJS and with db as MongoDB. Do you think that this project stands out in the Resume? Also, can a project based on our DSA can be good? Thank you for your time and effort to reply my comment!

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Depends - a blog in itself is not something that stands out so you would need to make it particularly impressive (eg, interesting UI, implement some next-level features)

[@faizanahmed9304]

@@InternetMadeCoder sure, thanks man!

[@lightwoodalec5037]

Hi man love your videos I am currently learning full stack development I enrolled in a coding bootcamp since may 2022 I do need a job quick but also I am getting very demotivated as I am from a non tech graduate(I completed my bachelor in pharmacy) although I do have a strong fundamental knowledge of java dsa as I took up computer science in school so my question is if anyone is going through something similar pls advice what should I do... Continue on this coding path or not because I do like coding... But the added pressure for getting a job is getting too much

[@InternetMadeCoder]

keep going, anything worth doing is always hard. The people who succeed are the ones willing to do the hard work even when they don't feel like it & despite the pressure.

[@H.s.c-1]

thanks

in malaysia. having a CS degree is not enough 😅. we must have a good portfolio as well to go along with it.

How long did it take you to study and get the job you have right now? Hope you'll answer me :)

[@rosunreal6044]

What are your favourite books? You know so many things and actually can explain everything.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

so many - what do you want to learn?

[@rosunreal6044]

@@InternetMadeCoder I guess you know about CS/programming and you know how to study(tips, tricks, how human brains work, etc.). And I asume that you know about computers in general. You also know photography and film producing. Yeah, I know that you filmed a vid about algorithms where you recommended some very great books. Thanks for that!

[@InternetMadeCoder]

In the description, check the two links under OTHER AMAZING LEARNING RESOURCES - those are the BEST resources online for learning/how human brain works etc. Then look at the other links for my favourite courses etc (I haven't read that many programming books, one good one is Clean Code)

@@InternetMadeCoder thank you sir!

[@rajatchopra1411]

Just a Random Question : Do you think with so many people going after computer science degrees and Tech Related Jobs and obsessing over coding Do you think Tech Industry will become overcrowded resulting in lower and lower pay?

[@InternetMadeCoder]

No

Please make a video on beginner level projects
