"Don't spend hours trying researching where to learn, just start learning" wish I would've done this.

"Don't spending hours trying researching where to learn. Just start learning"
Thanks, bro. This is the most important message I got today.

[korbykun]

I did all of freecodecamp and got my first dev job a couple months after finishing it (about 5 months total), no prev exp, no college.

In the artist's world, the feeling of being lost before an empty text editor, and not knowing where to start, is called the syndrom of the "blank page". Being a coder is part of that world, as being kind of a creator. Just remember that this process is natural, and you will overcome it. You are all artists

I like that the Odin Project incorporates some of FreeCodeCamp's curriculum. Best of both worlds.

Thank you so much for all of the information and encouragement you've been giving. I am 41 and essentially starting my life over again after quitting my job and moving to a new country. I've always loved games and tech but didn't think I had the mind for code. I have tried a couple of times but it never stuck. But now, I am determined to make things happen and your channel has been a part of that determination.

High-energy motivation right here. Wow. You are an amazing presenter, and your audio is crystal clear.

Hey Dorian just discovered ur channel. I was a biology student and took up computer science in grad school. People r just so discouraging when I say I'm not on becoming a doctor or something in medical field. Your videos r very encouraging. Thank you!

[leobardopineda]

Thanks a lot! I had 5 other tabs open with more videos on how to start learning to code, but you're right, I just closed them all and logged in to start the odin project.

Which do you like better? freeCodeCamp or The Odin Project? Let me know in the comments!

[TheGoldgoat]

As a completely beginner I tried both. I tried FCC first and then TOP. I found TOP teaches fundamentals of everything you NEED to know to get started. So I would suggest TOP for a complete beginner

[ArielRomeroCortes]

Man, I really like your videos. Love the "no BS" take, it feels refreshing to have someone who talks from experience rather than talk from "what these people might want to hear"

[klc]

Thank you! I started with Odin without any technical background. I think I’ll take your advice instead. Odin is too advanced for my totally beginners level, but I am willing to go back to Odin.

[geekatari]

I've burnt out in tutorial hell. I did learn a few things, I did never finish the courses that were more important like Javascript, for some reason I couldn't get into it. I am going to try the freecodecamp approach and check the Odin project.
I am a computer geek and I thought I could learn to program to escalate to other realms of computer stuff. I thought "if I can build it, I can program it!" It hasn't been easy, but I want to try again.
Thank you for your encouragement.

[alexmrsh]

I'm an absolute beginner and there isn't a day that I don't feel lost
Thank you for the motivation !

[paulraven]

OMG didn't know about odin project until watch this video.

[luumaven]

Thanks for this video. I like how you mentioned to not get hung up on worrying about certificates because I was kinda driving myself crazy doing that, I now realize that the projects that I create has way more value than a certificate. You gave me a ton of motivation, I appreciate it.

[ericalessandrini]

Dorian, everytime I doubt myself or I feel lost in this new world of programming I look at your videos to find confort and everytime works like a charm! Thank you so much!!

[dterrell]

All the info in the world is useless without taking action with what you have learned. Thanks for breaking this down in a really simple way! 🙏🏽

[atyt]

Hey I remember we mentioned this on your recent livestream! FCC def helped me as a complete noob. I'm moving more towards the intermediate stage now. I'm chipping away at TOP's Javascript course (to learn NodeJS & React) while building other JS projects through Youtube.
