You're Learning Coding Wrong...

rubber duck, directly put it in my bag to bring it to my office tomorrow :D

That’s amazing, it works like an absolute charm. But the feeling is definitely weird at first 😂

Is C++ still worth to learn in 2024 ? what language you use to code

[@sayyedrehan-y1j]

Learning any language, such as Python, Java, or C++, my brother. if you do a thorough study of one language. Within a week after that, you can switch to any language. ❤

[@Homelander_30]

Start with java. Yeah CPP is worth!!!

[@diegosarkissian]

C++ is used in things like system software, game development and high performance apps. It’s still widely used, so check if companies you’re interested in working for are using it. I mainly code in JavaScript and Python. Love both of these 🎉

[@diegosarkissian]

Absolutely, there is a lot of similarity between modern programming languages. When you learn the fundamentals of one, you can increase the speed at which you learn other languages

Hi do you need a editor as some part of the video can be improved in the editing part hence it can increase the audience retention also

[@diegosarkissian]

Thanks. I'l definitely keep you in mind for the future. At the moment I am not looking for an editor.

Hola, Diego. Good video man, congrats. I just disagree a little bit on the chatGPT part. I'm currently learning JS and chatGPT has been my teacher and I'm learning a ton from it, I think it's just a matter of know how to use it in a effective way. Cheers!!

[@diegosarkissian]

I agree with you completely. I don’t think I fully explained myself in the video. I think ChatGPT can help a lot in explaining and breaking down complex topics, for example. Or even giving step-by-step guides. But using it as a quick substitute for learning or to directly write code or debug things is dangerous. My colleagues at the bootcamp and I quickly found out ChatGPT was a double-edged sword.

[@diegosarkissian]

And quick question. What has been the most effective way of learning JS so far for you? Any strategies or habits you’re currently following?

[@devnomadJS]

@@diegosarkissian Uhm that's really good to know.

[@devnomadJS]

Well, JS is my first language, and it's a complex thing to learn as a beginner and I'm a guy guy who needs to have a really well structured study plan for such complex subject. 1 - Did a free course on coursera called "Learn how to learn". That taught me how to retain most of the things I've just learned. 2 - Started a bootcamp called 100Devs. That gave me a basic, good knowledge of what JS is.(Started 3 and a half months ago). 3 - Created a chatGpt account fully focused on teaching me JavaScript and asked gpt to come up with a 3 month study plan. 3.1 - I asked it to structure the study plan like this: --Month --Week (Real world project idea by the end of the week including everything I learned that week) --Day (What to learn on that day, Including examples, what to focus, why that is important important.) 4 - Added that study plan to my ClickUp as a project so I can track all my progress and I'm adjusting that project as I go, like for certain topics I need more days to learn and practice than others. I need to visually see where I am at, how am I doing and what I want to achieve. Otherwise I will get lost, lose focus and lose motivation. 5 - Now, thanks to your great suggestion. I'm using Obsidian as well to write all my notes and things that I'm learning, so all related things are connected.

it would be helpful if you take a real life example during your journey to code something ,to each steps so ppl can apply it too. because those steps like teaching to a child ,reviewing somehow too general

[@5irozaimi439]

i came across your video and it is quite interesting , btw nice vid mann !

[@diegosarkissian]

Thanks for the feedback, I tried to add as many personal anecdotes to the video while also trying to effectively explain the steps of the Feynman Technique. I will definitely make more videos about learning coding for beginners and add some more personal examples. If there's any other video idea you think would be cool, I'd love to know!

[@diegosarkissian]

Thank you. Glad you found it interesting. Hope you have a great day 🚀
