Become A Software Engineer For Free (Class 01) - 100Devs

[@buzzcodez]

Tried CS50, failed, tried The Odin Project then also failed. First watched Leon sometime in November 2022, then decided to really focus on his classes on December 15, 2022. Took me 6 months to finish classes 1 to 55+, 3 months of job hunting, and was hired as a junior software engineer last November 2023. Full-time WFH with provided MacBook/equipment. Thank you, Leon!

I have watched the intro part with tears in my eyes. Leon, your kindness, compassion, protectiveness over the community, effort to be honest and realistic, lightheartedness and amazing teaching style have blown me away. I haven’t seen anyone with such a genuine intention and passion to help others in a long while. This is what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been wanting to get into software engineering for a while and but the courses and tutorials seemed all very daunting, but with the community support it seems possible. I don’t want to miss the window. I will be here for 30 weeks and do my best, and I’ll get a software engineering job. I appreciate this bootcamp so so much, thank you very much Leon. You are a life-saver.

Its crazy watching this video after having it changed my life so much. I knew after the first class Id need to make a commitment and I did. I was working full-time and quitting wasn't an option I had my kid to take care of and bills to pay. It was extremely difficult but every waking moment was spent studying through this program. I was lucky enough to go through it live and in March 2023 I was given my first tech opportunity. I went from being a housekeeper to a software engineer and I'm already on job #2 with a company I love and benefits. I never spoke with Leon but I'll forever be grateful.

Where my journey began. 100Devs changed my life, and if you follow what Leon says you will succeed. It’s going to feel hard, and overwhelming at times so you need to come to terms with that. But if you put in the time, and effort, there’s no doubt you can start a software developer career learning with 100Devs. It took me about a year to land my first developer job learning with the 100Devs community. It’s hard but not impossible. If you’re new, and unsure about this, please give at least 50 honest hours of effort towards this, and I assure you that you will be amazed at the progress you’ve made.

BRO…WOW…I don’t know you, don’t know how I ended up on your channel, video, but I’m so happy I did! There are people who have that “IT Factor” and you my man, you have that, you have that and more. The fact I sat here and listened to you for 24 minutes already, and you have me commenting this, it’s mind blowing. You inspired me in 24 minutes. They doesn’t happen. Rarely. But you did. You have a way with words. You’re raw, passionate, have purpose, represent a HUGE CAUSE ON SO MANY LEVELS, like wow man! When you said I’m not a doctor, I’m not a nurse, but I feel I have something I can provide, I said out loud, yes you fkn do! As a registered nurse who worked in the ICU for two years during COVID, from day 1, until 2 years in to COVID, I hated the word Hero. Hero gets thrown loosely. Did I do some great things, I can humbly say I did, and it was intense, sad, took a huge toll on my mental health and sobriety, but a hero, a hero is someone changing the lives of SO MANY people, for free, one giving back selflessly to his/her community, one who invests in the lives of others and fights for a cause, takes a stance to make a difference, and more, and that is YOU bro. I’ve never written something like this about someone and I’m 37 years young. I was graduate speaker of my nursing class and I hope my speech moved people the way you did me in such a short time. I don’t want to be a software engineer, but I’m now vested in this boot camp even if it is two years in. So let’s see where this journey takes me! Maybe it’ll help my real estate career! Let the journey begin…they say people come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime, and I don’t know where you fall yet, but I know for sure, a reason is one. Thanks for being you bro. Thanks for sticking to that sailboat inspiration and becoming a blessing to so many.

THE ACTIVE RECALL, YESSS!! I recently studied for the CCNA, and was guilty of the poor study methods he mentioned. About halfway through, I decided to switch things up and inadvertently landed on Active Recall, started writing down questions instead of writing down answers. It was INFINITELY more efficient than my studying before, I retained so much more information. Ended up passing the CCNA after only 4 months of study, going from zero knowledge to certified. This method is legit! Anyways, I was really happy to see an official title for my method. I felt like Einstein after having this discovery, and was also incredibly furious that they never talked about this in school!

Damn im so glad you exist! Seriously tired of scammers. Also cannot find anyone willing to help until I found your discord on reddit somewhere looking for free course thank you for all that you do!

"It's like I just teleported. I am at the end of the chapter and I am like......What just happened" lol I felt this one deep in my soul. Leon, you are awesome. I am excited for this journey!

[@shanaymurdock7750]

I have to say... I normally get antsy with video tutorials if they're longer than 12-15 minutes. But even though I took this first lesson in July, 7 months after you aired it, I was so enthralled with this 3.5 hour video that I was willing to forgo a couple hours of sleep. I heard of this through Twitter but checked it out after hearing your episode of Code Newbie and I GET the hype now.

You're an angel on Earth Leon. Incredicbly inspirational. Thank you for your time my brother.

It's incredible to think you are doing this without asking for any money. And the fact with Anki you even tell everyone NOT to pay is hilarious, but so nice of you. I'm blown away by how down to earth and incredible you are. I'm starting my journey, and hoping I can catch up with the classes you're currently at.

[@GretSeat]

@@saeedom100 I'm on class 19. Learning about arrays and array methods. It's great so far!

[@GretSeat]

@@saeedom100 advice? I would say definitely use anki, every day. Read the readings top to bottom and put the stuff you don't understand or anything you want to learn more about in there and study daily. If you're stuck just Google it, look up on KZbin for people to explain, and use discord to ask questions! We are all in this together and we will all help each other out. Don't be afraid to ask for help

Im restarting from class 1 after a long break, it is so hard to be back in programming and start learning again but i know i can do it. my last class was about js but then i took a break due to a personal problem but im glad that after all those wasted time im here again to relearn things again.

Leon, this is my first time discovering your channel. I'm currently enrolled at a local college to start Software Dev in January, after a pretty rough year. I figured I would try to get a head start so I looked up some videos. The first 30 minutes of this stream is amazing, I can feel your passion through the screen. From one stranger to another, thank you, and I'm proud of you.

[@mindygarcia3191]

I related to so much of this 1st class. Also, i'm a former HS educator and you nailed it right on the head - repetition is key! This is something that needs to be taught to students at every level. Great first class!

[@brendalizortiz7]

Wow! This video is super inspiring and motivational! Leon left me feeling emotional and driven to the point that I decided to join #100Devs back in late March. I cleared part of my daily schedule to do this and I commited to start Day 1 on my sons' birthday - April 3rd. I'm doing this in honor of my son because I truly believe what Leon is teaching will have me becoming a Software Engineer and with this super skill, I know that I can change the trajectory of mine and most importantly my son's life. I am feeling so grateful right now! Just seeing what Leon has created for the community definitely speaks volumes! Thank you Leon, thank you for helping so many to reach their dreams. I can't wait to be next!🙏💪

So theoretically, if we miss the live sessions because of work etc can we still complete the bootcamp by watching the replay discord/youtube and just ask q's on discord when needed correct?

[@elisaromero1238]

Your words have moved me to tears, and I am deeply grateful for the impact they have had on me. In my younger years, I had a desire to learn programming, but with raising my daughter and no guidance on where to start, it remained on the back burner. Currently, I am 66 years old and hold a degree. I have worked in sales and did QA testing in the past. However, I always felt that programming was something I missed out on. I believe that programming is the field I should be in. I am planning to check out your channel because I want to learn and develop my skills so that I can work as a freelancer. However, I am currently working late hours, so I will be playing catch-up. If possible, I would like to give back to your cause or channel, as I truly appreciate what you are doing. Thank you. and it speaks volumes about you as a person.
