The most discouraging times are when you think you understand it from following along with a course then practicing it. But when you have a test on it you have to code out your own solutions, mind goes totally blank😂. Good lord man smh.

Reader, you can do it! Just don't stop but persist on studying. It won't be easy BUT think about all those options it will open for you, it's going to be great!!
I nearly failed school and then went back to studies in my late 20s after working in retail, today I'm a professional embedded developer!

I am an older lad going back to school for electronic engineering and this is a very real scenario for me. Struggling with a few things, coding being one. Thank you for the encouragement.

I am 61, getting back to coding & having a blast with Front End Web Dev & Python for ML.

I want to express my gratitude for your encouragement and motivation. As a computer science student, I remember my first day when I found myself in my car, tears welling up, as I watched other students solving coding problems effortlessly. I was new to coding and struggled to solve the problems at hand.

Your empathising with others is very welcome, thank you for taking the time to shoot this (video).

i’m at the end of my first year of college studying computer science and i definitely feel this. i can understand the concepts but applying them to my coding projects is a huge struggle. it’s really difficult but i’m going to stick with it for as long as i can because as much as i struggle with it i still enjoy it and i want to be able to do it as my career!!

edit: thanks to those who encouraged me but i did end up changing my major at the start of my next semester 😭 i’m honestly glad i did, compsci was very interesting but it was too code heavy for my liking, now i get to do statistics which is more math heavy (my favorite) and still do some code :)

wholeheartedly agree here. I spent 3 days trying to understand Linked Lists in C and suddenly it just clicked, that investment in time helped me in the future since many other ADTs use linked lists. So don't be disheartened. Keep pushing.

Agree 100%. I went through the same struggles. I had to train my brain to think differently. More step by step or logically plus other ways I can't seem to describe. But it is true that changing your way of thinking to become a programmer had helped in so many other aspects of my life. Thanks for posting this nice short and to the point vid. Cheers!

A much needed video. I was really struggling with programming problems. Thanks 😊

My first course in programming was in 1970 using COBOL. I was baffled by the entire concept from the writing of the code on the old green sheets to punching the written code into cards which after read by the card reader, the computer would execute the instructions. My first assignment was simply to punch up already written COBOL and get a clean compile. I finally did it but only after I quite trying to understand everything. I just focused on the code and eventually I was good. Over 50 years of working, I wrote in COBOL, Fortran, PL/1 a number of query languages and for 30 years I wrote millions of lines of SAS. Just have faith and focus on the code.

Thanks to you I was introduced to Python and despite the fact I didn't continue in my journey to become a Data Scientist. I continued learning to code with other languages like JavaScript. At the moment I think I have a decent number of skills to apply to jobs for web development and it all began the moment I was introduced to your videos on Python for Data Science.

Just read that article you linked! Thank you! :) Just dipping my toes into CT and CS, and I found it very helpful.

This is the video I needed. I’m saving this and coming back to it. I love this ❤

[jamespaz]

I am 39 and started learning Python (I am an R fan 😁). I find it somewhat challenging but thanks to your videos I always get motivated. Thank you sr.

[simonjunior]

Thank you for your motivation and article you shared. Nice piece of advice for people like me struggling in coding and programming. Do keep up the good job.

I saw this at the right time. I needed to hear this! Thanks for the inspiration.

[Anayr]

You are so kind, I needed this so much ❤ thank you very much!
