I really need to ask this.. I just finished python, is it realistic for me to prepare for backend or should I switch to Front-End. Which role did you start with at your job. Which is better between backend VS Front-End. Which is easier/faster to get into as a beginner. Which has more demand?

A lot of the SQL database tasks you mentioned should really be the responsibility of a database administrator. However these are notoriously difficult to find and keep so unfortunately the job often falls to developers, even though they are unlikely to have sufficient time or enthusiasm for the role.

[@codingcrashkurse6429]

It heavily depends on the complexity of the Database. I work as Python Developer and we have to create the database, tables and schemas on our own, the whole Database instance with Security Updates etc. is managed by another Team.

[@dima6488]

@@codingcrashkurse6429 Nowadays there's little reason to manage a DB by yourself since DaaS services exist (i.e RDS), unless you're bound by regulations that require you to have OS level access you probably shouldn't be doing that, both cost and effort wise.

Thanks Tim the hero 🙌 💙 🙏 👏 👍

[@ApartmentAngelsFireStarters]

its is very solid knowledge, well done Tim. however its not good enough to land you a job. Although that's not the core motive behind the video, the primary influence whichis the purpose of this video is to display the skills you need to become a developer, meaning employed individual who practises writing code professionally. To that I would say, these skillsets arent enough at all, unless you have a bacholars degree and are unders the age of 42, you can use this knowledge to get a job, however, this will definitely won't be enough. If you want to go beyond this information, you need to have proof of concept apps that are required to be industry quality, no employer is touching your cv is you're missing a bacholars of engineer/compsci and don't have at least 3 successful fullstack apps .

[@gamemoves2415]

Any recommendations for getting better in databases? So far I've failed a few interviews because my database skills are not good.

[@daedalus_00]

The best way to learn anything is always through a project of your own. Do you already have stuff that you want to organize? A lot of pictures or music perhaps. If so then you can make a learning project work for you by organizing that stuff into a database, or if not there are plenty of datasets online for free. Stocks, weather, machine learning, the list goes on and on, there are datasets for everything. And really if you just want to learn then it really doesn't matter what the data is or how much data you have. What you really want is the experience in getting the data, putting it in some kind of structure, maybe tagging it with some arbitrary tags and accessing it. And if you have a raspberry pi or a spare computer you could practice accessing it remotely on your own home network. Good Luck!

[@matty5ps444]

the structure of most developer jobs posts nowadays are "junior developer required - must have all skills and knowledge of every language and skills ever invented, no experience necessary unless you actually want the job" lol

[@cuatro336]

"Junior Python back-end developer: Must have working knowledge of MSSQL, PostGres, Oracle, Java, JavaScript, C, C#, C++, Rust, Swift, .NET, Flask framework, Django framework, Pandas, Anaconda, and Adobe Illustrator."

[@TrillVillain]

Right. It gave me a headache. I can technically learn everything or most things mentioned here, but who has the time (or experience granted to them) to acquire them? Even the “Junior” careers are often very greedy about what they want you to have, so where do they want you to get these skills???! It’s wild out here. Companies want to pay you Junior pay but want Mid/Senior skills.

[@worldanime9884]

does that mean to learn python back end, you don't have to master the programming language? Or mastering python only up to OOP and continue to the backend framework?

[@sweatdog]

A lot of modern programming is abstraction of basic python code packaged neatly in libraries and frameworks. Your job is knowing how to leverage those resources and have them play nicely together. That WILL require coding expertise, but the need for advanced python is shrinking. Learn API's, databases, and a backend of your choice. Specialize in something backend-related that you enjoy the most.

[@Saradomin65]

Personally I would say go for Full-stack. That way you'd have a much more options to choose from (FE jobs, BE jobs, or both). And as Tim said here, having a Front-End knowledge is kind of a necessity at this point. Not necessarily having to master it but having the knowledge enough to understand how FE & BE communicate with each other will do the work.
