Hey Namanh ! My name is Enzo, I'm 18y/o and I live in Douala, Cameroon I've started my code learning journey with HTML and CSS on FCC But at some I started noticing that I was completing all the tasks without really understanding them and now I'm stuck with the RWD project at the end and I really feel like I won't be able to make it Do you think I should start back the start or go with Python?

As someone who did struggle for 1 year to learn, I had to come here to say: the best way to learn are newbie friendly books. They are detailed, well written. Avoid complicated tutorials for now. Focus on learning your first language and everything else will be much easier once you learn. Edit: For those asking, the books that made me learn were Javascript In Less Than 50 Pages and Head First Javascript Programming.

Everyone learns differently. Personally, a book would be a nightmare for me. I'm learning by watching KZbin courses while also having notepad open for taking notes and my IDE open for coding examples and trying things myself. The videos I've been watching will teach you a thing, then give you a real world type example, then translate that real world example into code. The examples come right after a short learning section, so once they say, "Okay we're going to do [this]", I can pause it, try it on my own with my new knowledge, then continue to see how I did. So far it's working fantastically. I think I might check that book out though lol. Not as a way to learn learn, but as a way to keep the information fresh when I can't be practicing coding.

He's not though. Each step in his system uses language you would have learned in the steps before it. Step 1 is CS50, which is where you'll learn the basics, so you're ready to begin learning step 2 (python in this case) and so on up to a professional level. It's not a "how to get started" video, it's the step by step process he would recommend to go from zero to professional, and you can't talk about how to learn something to a professional level without using professional level language imho.

Sir I have a question. For a 38 yo with young kids running and yelling around me all the time, is it too late to start following this stream starting from CS50 and then Python and then the rest? I’m not particularly sharp or dull, biotechnology major, NOT a fan of math, but do possess a sorta practical problem solving mindset from my 7 yrs experience as a project manager. Hope I gave enough background for you to judge here. My son is 7 and I might even consider starting to learn python with him lol He’s pretty smart just got him rubies cubes pyraminx n stuff and he learned to solve those by just watching youtube videos lol

Also, as a veteran dev, I have a question. Recently, on Quanta Magazine channel, I saw a short video with Leslie Lamport. He talked about the difference between coder and programmers, and how ultimately quality of the work depends of mayh knowledge. Now, I'm not a super math guy, nor majority of population. And I do blame it on education system. But now I'm 35, due to pandemic I lost all of my business, and I have to start over. And I thought if now I will be sitting close to a year at home, why won't I try to learn programming. I've been sitting with Python for like a month already but now, watching this video make me doubt. Like heccing seriously doubt if I'm gonna make it. And, to follow up what Lamport said, how would you describe the dependcy on deep math knowledge in today's work? Maybe, I didn't phrase it too well, sorry for that.

full time engineer for 6 years, had a similar large state school college CS experience, been programming/playing with computers since middle school - I would say this is a pretty solid pipeline for ppl who are new and trying to speed run their way into a programming job. some things that I think ppl should also know: - if you're the type of person who likes learning from side projects, add something that is actually personal to your projects. in moments when you're stuck and overcome a problem are the programming moments where you are actually grow. having a personal reason to finish the project is really helpful to stay focused when things get hard - it's ok if there comes a time where a topic is hard for you but might seem easier to other ppl. that's a normal part of the learning process - odds are the "hard topic" is apart of larger hole in your education and you'll have to work a little harder to fill it. the good thing is there will inevitably be a moment where a topic that is hard for someone else is actually easy to you. help others where ever you can along the way - try to never let your ego get the best of you. I've taught programming for quite a while, and so many new devs gain a superiority complex after they learn how to code - it's actually kind of sad. this behavior is so subtly wide spread through tech culture, especially in early tech education, that I feel like it's important to bring up. split your self worth from programming, tech culture, and salary. it'll be much better for you mental health

I love this so much. I barely knew anything about computers or technology when I started my current job in IT support (no coding or programming involved, only surface level troubleshooting). Like barely anything. I didn’t know how to google either. I was highly dependent on people for technology, and didn’t really know much of anything. and I never would’ve thought I’d be able to do any of the things outlined in this video. But 3 years later and I feel like most of my thinking now is from a problem solving mindset with everything in my life. Not only that but I built my first computer this year and it was so empowering! And now I’m soon to start a degree in robotics. In a weird way, my story inspires me to help others (like my colleagues) understand computers and how they work. I wouldn’t say I see computers as “simple” now, but they definitely feel logical if that makes sense. I feel like it’s the embodiment of “anyone can cook” lmao. Anyways, imma keep at it and I thanks to this video I’m gonna try my hand at some programming and maybe deepen my knowledge even more! Always something more to learn. Thank you so much Namanh ❤️

In order to have a "Coding Mindset", which is essential to flourishing in this field, you must: 1.) Understand and internalize the fact that no matter what problem, annoyance, or obstacle you face, THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION. You just need to find it. 2.) Have the humility to accept that you could have made a mistake somewhere, THE COMPILER IS ALWAYS RIGHT

Also, once getting past the compiler is no longer an issue for you, the real mistakes are a question of efficiency. Even though your code works fine, you still sometimes have to accept that it's really bad anyways.

@@wearethewearethewearethhe As a career administrator, I found that quite frequently the problem rests in the initial structuring of the data itself, and surprisingly, that is a deeply human function, regardless of the coding side of things. I have started more people out on the path of automation and computerized data management than I can remember, and it always began with teaching them to treat data respectfully, and to understand that parsing information requires structures that can be easily parsed. It is hard to get that simple thought through people's heads, but when I did, they always took off, much like releasing a bird into the wild.

I’m the same way. It’s like I’m at a standstill, I went to 3 different colleges & once I moved I went to their online programs. I spent $180,000 on 2 degrees that when you look them up they look like Damn I will have a good future…. You get out there & its like what was that garbage degree? No I’m not talking about Art History or Theatre (no offense to those who do it) but it was supposedly their biggest online program, being online it was very hard to understand why my classes suddenly shifted from one program to another in 3 months & my program went on 2 years longer for that I ended up with degree paths it was a mess; I didnt do it to waste time, not to get grants; I got married & had kids & when we moved 3 time in 2 years I did try to drive 3.5 hours to the college for 4 months but it became too much once I started falling asleep on the way home & I was like I’m going to die doing this. Thennnn something you never expect is the body breakdown, that took time & I was lucky to be online at that point but my husband deployed which made me the only person at home & I know people do it I hate that response but when you’re in the Trenches so to speak it’s like you don’t know what to do, you can’t go as long as you once could, everyone depends on you…. I started my work search now that my youngest is in school… nothing. There was nothing but like 4 places I was able to apply. The school guaranteed job placement…. I’m on a few websites that’s job placement basically put yourself out there. In the end I started dabbling in Coding. I started teaching my kids in our spare time bc their all Homeschooled too. Life story there but I read that & was like “I get it; maybe not working quite the same as you did but just to a point where, where I’ve had to stop & say what can I physically really do? Recovery takes a lot from the body & im so nervous to go back to the doctor because I feel like another bad visit would just send me back to that place where I felt like I was drowning… like I just need air & all there is is water….. I see my blessings, I see the good, I feel sometimes ungrateful for looking around & being upset I didn’t do more with my life because everyone’s like you have 3 kids… yes I do & im trying to make productive members of society too…. But I want them to do something…. Maybe that’s my burden. I don’t want them to turn out like me. Everyone says Pray it helps… at this point I feel like maybe I’m doing it wrong… or maybe no one’s listening anymore? Maybe I’m being punished for the things I’ve done? Who knows, but I’m looking for something to do with my time. Something to offset the amount I put into worthless degrees & loans. Sorry for using your comment as a therapy session lol but I hope you get there I really do! I commend you for not giving up & taking the easy way out… I feel like I am sometimes & seeing this kind of boosted me a little bit… Good Luck in your Journey!

Namanh, I am an old guy that got into IT back in '95 as a Novell CNE, then later became a programmer, focusing on C# and SQL for a regional hospital doing clinical systems programming and support.. Lately I've been working on getting my skills current again and learning all of the new stuff. So in a sense I am *Starting over*. I've honestly been overwhelmed trying to learn too many things all at once. This video is OUTSTANDING. I appreciate you boiling it down to the essentials and laying out a good roadmap of sorts. Thank you, thank you, thank you! BTW, I signed up for the CS50 course. Subscribed. Best regards, Mark

I have a few friend who are programmers.. One thing I noticed is they did it. Start and stick with it and you'll get there. The beginner tutorials will teach you databases and as a kid I had no interest in making some business program so I didn't even look at that. I was focused on the end result and not what was needed to get there. I've only stuck with python for about a week at a time before putting it on the back burner and leaving it till I forgot most of what I had learned and had to start over. Life only gets more in the way, if you want to code, you've got to do it.

I started coding by myself 1 year ago (only with high school experience in informatics - using codewars, leetcode, algoexpert). One year later, I learned a lot about graph theory (I can apply DFS, BFS, Dijkstra, A*, Tarjan, Kosoraju) and algorithms (Min conflict algorithm, heuristic) and about python syntax (i consider myself pretty fluent in python). I can also use basics of cpp, java and js (basics means i can use map, filter, reduce, recursion, backtracking, reading a file, apply a deque or a heap when i need it, i know about time complexity and so on). I started a project one month ago and it works good and I started using git (which was, as you said, incredible!) Now I am just too scared to go to an interview yet, so I have in plan to enter first a coding bootcamp (in my country, in Europe), maybe this will give me more courage. Any tipps?

Fun story: I started coding when I was just starting middle school. I learned html and css. Then I stopped for a while, got busy with a math teacher who purposely taught us more things than we needed to learn to pass high school algebra. Then at the end of middle school, I said “hey I should get back into coding. Let’s learn c++!” And it was a bit hard, but it got me more interested into coding, math, and computer science. Now, I’m in high school, and I’m competing in the Congressional App Challenge with HTML and CSS, and I compete in robotics where I use C++ :)

I've always wanted to learn how to code but my eyes gloss over when the jargons start coming lol. I was just being unmotivated, came across your video and now gonna get my ass back to learning that dang python stuff. Hopefully in a year, I'll finally be able to land my dream job 🙏

I think my idea will be... just find the beauty of programming and coding... find the beauty of the language you have chosen... because once you found it, you will no longer needing these "motivations". You know, it just became your source of dopamine- in other words, it just became your source of happiness! 😃

You can do it! If struggling with motivation, maybe look up some beginner coding projects and pick something that sounds interesting. Find out what skills are required and focus on learning those. Then you've got a clear goal to aim at, and a reason you're learning each element along the way!

I truly feel like I have stepped into a different world and it is overwhelming. I'm just trying to remember to take it slowly and dampen my expectations a little. So much jargon and learning what it all means is a lot. I might just start there, start keeping a journal of definitions and diagrams to help me wrap my head around concepts.

After watching the first few minutes of this video, I realized that I’m not in the right profession. I’ve had this mindset forever. Always problem solving, always using logic for everything. Telling everyone google is such a powerful tool and asking people “how long do you plan on not knowing?” I’m a professional sushi chef of 16 years with a deep mastery of it, but I think at 36 years of age, I think it’s time to take a leap of faith and change.

It's very much possible. I started to learn how to code a month before turning 31. Since then, I've worked at several startups, including unicorns, and am now starting something together with some friends. Heads up though - there's a lot of work involved and you will probably find yourself in days where you want to give up. It's totally worth it though - thanks to all the possibilities that have opened up because of it! I cross my fingers for you all who want to dive head first into the field. I think you will find a lot of excitement. Remember that it's equally important to develop your soft skills so you can work effectively with others. 🤞

@@Anthony-kp7sf I never claimed that I "learned to code" over a year. Today, more than 5 years later, there are still more things I don't know in the field than there are that I do know. Learning never stops. You start with an internship, learn as much as you can there, then take another job once you feel that the rate of learning as decreased. Focus on projects and showcase what you've learned by, for instance, writing a blog post about it. It's a great way to get exposure (and to learn).

The humility and problem solving part is true, I’ve started learning Python on Codecademy and it felt great when I wrote about 18 lines of code, only to run it and not pass, after staring, looking and re reading for spelling mistakes for half of the day I finally found I didn’t add another variable and was sticking it in another variable already written, I’ve only been learning Python for about 4 days but my first ever advice to give when just starting is to not give up!! You will find the problem even if it takes a while, you will eventually find it! And keep going, coding is hard but the feeling of finding the problem is worth it!!

I just started to look into coding since i got a Christmas gift which was a Freenove Smart Car kit with Raspberry Pi 4. Extremely challenging but so fun and mind blowingly entertaining at 42 years old. Was never great at math but seem to understand more than I ever did at school with Python for some reason. I can't wait to learn more about Raspberry Pi OS and Python.

It's funny because I actually followed the exact same path 5 years ago when I decided to switch from Finance to Programming full time. One thing I would partially disagree is that, I would recommend beginners to use a bit more simple IDE e.g Atom, VSCode, rather than Jetbrain IDEs. I have met a lot of beginners following tutorials where the instructor used e.g Pycharm, then use Pycharm tools to setup virtual environment and install dependencies, which is not a bad thing, but then they didn't learn about how to actually do that without Pycharm. Jetbrain IDEs are very good for experienced developers, I believe they were designed for productivity, which is probably not for beginners.
