Don't Just Learn To Code, Learn To Create | Justin Richards | TEDxYouth@ColumbiaSC

[@sanmatrix2]

My advice to new coders. I am a software developer in the development field for the last 10 years. And forget about jumping into learning a new framework or new technology. Focus on the core raw concepts of code itself. Understand them deep. For e.g., I would highly recommend any new coder to either take up javascript or python as their first coding language. These 2 are highly relevant in today's commercial space. Learn the basics thoroughly, deeply. It will take you close to a year or self study and practise to get them at your finger tips. Then practise those concepts. And make mistakes. its ok. make them at the start. Learn from the error and learn what concept you got it wrong. Over time, develop the habit of reading code and having the skillset to understand what others have written, especially good code. Writing code is a long journey and not something that can be done in 3 months or so people. Hit me up if you want to know more tips as I will be happy to share with you folks. happy coding!

I took c++ for my base instead of python and java, am I on the right path according to you? I am trying to learn ds algo but I can't find a good resource to learn ds algo with c++ . I am in my third year and I really want to create my future as a good software engineer.

[@shelbycollins6116]

@@ananyathakur8229 Hi, congrats on choosing to become a software engineer. Regarding your question on c++, yes you are definitely in the right path. Let me explain. In a real world project, you might be a javascript developer but you might be also required to know a little kotlin, java or go depending on what role you are given. Different languages differ in their syntaxes and also the way they are written (i.e the design principles behind the language itself). End of the day, all languages have the same concepts, if else conditions or loops, variables , functions etc. c++ is a lower level language. by learning them your understanding of java or python should be better. for algo resources, you can check out leetcode or hackerrank. leetcode is my personal favourite as it has sample interview questions from companies such as amazon or microsoft

don't watch about 8 mins of it and close. please do not waster your time to watch this video. it teaches you nothing about anything at all. guess says go google it. Im warning you. don't waste your time. This video is 12 mins long. i rather you go learn how to do coding/programmingfor 12 mins, at least you will get 12 mins of coding knowledge out of it

“You will learn things through failing, that success will never teach you”. So true! I’m 30 and teaching my self how to code right now and I have never been into so many road blocks in my life. But as I progress and learn how to go forward, I better understand the “magic” that is going on… And it’s exciting! Don’t quit guys, we got this!

children can be far wiser than adults

[@sammuel1971]

[@timcook3410]

Osama Adel we need to change the definition of maturity. for most people, it means loss of excitement and constant curiosity. a society, that promotes maturity, is bad. it kills creativity, which is the only key to innovation.

[@andreacoricciati4909]

Learning that stuff is so difficult but because of that you are more motivated to do it. One day I was so mad because the previous day I couldn’t finish a program and I was so angry that I said to myself : now you’re gonna take you’re freaking computer and you’re gonna solve the problem. I did it and now my game was working perfectly, but I already knew that the next day I was going to deal with another problem and I’ would get mad again, but despite that I knew that in two days I would know how to solve the problem and that it was going to be like this forever and that’s what does not give me up. Coding it’s not just a challenge in the “code” it teaches you that you’ll always deal with problems, in life, relationships etc. but only if you keep moving forward you’ll get everything you started for. This goes to all the people that never give up, that are always in search for new adventures and opportunities. To those that don’t know what to do with their life, to procrastinators, to creators and thinkers that help the world moving forward. Thank y’all to be what others did not want you to be.

[@mhl7351]

Coding is magic

[@lucasgabule]

Everything work like magic. We create because we try to change the world of what we create and what the world feel about it. To change is adopt a new technology and strategy to make a better world and help other developer to growth and present them the solution. This is a great talk about creating a value to the community. :)

[@ignskeletons]

"You live in a world of magic, you can find out anything instantly." this really stuck with me. This is exactly what I try to explain to people who have the idea of thinking they want to do something but not knowing where to start. You can do ANYTHING you've EVER wanted with a plethora of FREE resources with this little thing called Google. You can find sheet music to any song, you can find entire documentation on any programming language ever created, you can find free 3D models for almost anything you want to 3D print, you can find free courses from top colleges like Stanford and Harvard on their website's. The only thing stopping you is yourself. You have every opportunity in the world handed right to you. You live in a world of magic, and yet this is the world we live in. I'm now teaching myself PHP and MySQL to build dynamic websites and I'm learning more and more everyday. Just today I learned how to upload my code to GitHub. Tomorrow I'll learn how to do something else, and then something after that.

Thought I needed to say this and get it out of my system... Ive been going to the university for about a year now, and have been struggling with programming the entire year. I found out that i really enjoy photography, and it got me even more lost... I know people say to go after what you love, but the truth is that I love both... I need to get my head in the game.. I WANT TO BECOME A PROGRAMER and a good one, it's in my head now! I hope it's not too late for me.. I am still only 19 years old...

[@forexdragon]

+Jack Ruby You are right to some degree, but I have the same issue with my desktop - volume is max and I can barely hear it. Even on my laptop, I can hear it ok, but the volume is on MAX. As a matter fact, I had to even download an Chrome EQ extension to barely hear. Other KZbin videos aren't as bad. It is also a well known fact that Windows 10 is plagued with issues with muffled, low volume sound, but the base audio level for this video is definitely low.
