I'm self-taught and my method of learning has always been to jump in with both feet and when I hit a problem, look up how to solve that particular problem, and move on.

I watched a react crash course and what I did immediately was, start building. Every time I faced new challenges I learned something new. That is how learning happens. Writing code, debugging, facing new challenge, learn new thing, solve that challenge, new challenge and so on. It is like a cycle

Some of those "self-taught" gurus also simply flat out lie about having learned and achieving such a high proficiency within a couple months to land a high paying job. There is a lot of smokes and mirrors in any social media.

Straight to the point, honest advice . Thanks for saving me from my endless youtube binge watching habit of getting to know how to code and actually not coding .
Will definately try to be a good programmer as you . Lots of Respect

great topic, people talk about which language to learn, but little about how difficult it really is to learn it. I started with Html, css, js and then I chose React, and I never stopped learning. There is no learning in minutes or hours, it takes months or years, be prepared to study for your entire career if you choose this path. it is difficult, in fact many people take months to find the job, so work hard

This guy is rly underrated here. He's telling it exactly how it is. Great content, m8.

Great video! It's always different when you have to sit in the driver's seat versus watch someone drive from the passenger seat. The only way to get good is to try, fail, learn, repeat. I saw a few others say that the only way to learn how to code is to start building and dive in head first - I'm only a few months in and that statement is the best advice you can get to actually learn.

Subscribed. I really appreciate your tips.
I'm from Italy. I start my startup this year with one friend that is a Full-Stack developer.
Now, I'm trying to learn how to code to help and maybe one day get a job if the startup doesn't work.
You saved me a lot of time. I just did at least the half of what you have done in the past year.

I think a very big oversight in a lot of advice/videos I see about learning a language is that the first time you do it, you're not just learning a language, but programming itself. You'll see the result of this confusion a lot on the learnpython subreddit for example. "Everyone said python is easy, but I'm struggling so much!" It's not that python isn't easy and that those people are wrong, it's that they're not just learning python, they're learning programming as a whole! That's completely different

Very honest, truthful and straightforward video. Thank you. Your advice, roadmap are practical and are really worth applause.

Love this content! Only way to learn programming is just constantly coding kinda on your own. Because this Youtube coding videos are just overwhelming for beginners so never give up do your best1

I've been studying for 10 months, from knowing nothing to able to build simplified version of github, having knowleage in serveral progamming languages, data base, frameworks. It was a hell of ride. Your content is extermely helpful and thank you

[rkkasotiya]

So relatable. Thank you making this channel putting content. Watched many videos so far and everytime it feels like I'm learning from my future-self. Thanks a lot.

This is absolutely right! Perfect advice. I’m learning power bi and looking for projects that I can work on.

[aj__love]

You know what I was literally doing this mistake because this head of a certain company was like I need to know a lot and expand out. It’s ridiculous because there are endless videos 🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you so much for saving You also said it so nicely so thank you 😊

[Fahad-chwk]

I can so much relate facing all of the issues highlighted in the video. Been through that for the last 5 years atleast. Thanks for the much needed advise!

[khuramshahzad]

Great explanation, i was stuck in these tutorial loops for almost 3 years, focus on core concepts of single language that we selected for mastery

[asibulalam]

Can't thank you enough.As a beginner it helps me a lot. Please keep helping us.Have a good day.

I really like the realism in your style. At 44 I’m learning now, and I don’t expect to land some crazy famous job, but I believe that I can get a job. Even if the pay isn’t 6 figures, as long as I can pay my bills and have a little left over I’m happy.

[Blazingle]

Funny thing is... I had one of the 4 hour tutorial videos open and ready to go thanks for this!
