Advice on Learning to Code

Some advice for people learning to code. In short: don't get caught in the tutorial taking trap. The faster you get out there and work with real clients, the more quickly you will learn to code.

The music at the end is my own, and I think it will be my channel's intro music.

A word from the wise "Don't be obsessed with learning code"

[AnDrU]

That moment you discover that Stefan is the Kami Sama of developing, and see his planet.

That's so true I have been watching so many tutorials on the internet year ago and I did not have the confidence to build projects on my own but when I decided to go to the real world and build a project for a client it gives me confidence.

just bought the interactive web developer course, so excited 😍😍

[FredericBiondi]

Best advice ever. I'm literally in love with you!

Loved the video! If I may suggest a topic for another vlog - "Marketing for developers". It seems that your main expertise is starting small businesses and I think the marketing/promotion part of that process is something that eludes many people, who are already reasonably competent coders/builders.

Thanks for this. You just sold me your interactive web developer course. And I'm a TOUGH sell!

[Kmaleon]

Thank you very much for all your advice, your videos, your knowledge and your time.
I send you a big hug from Guanajuato Mexico

Thank You, Stef for continuing the good work. Btw, is there a point in learning either Java or Kotlin for Android (esp from scratch) in the age of Flutter and RN? Or else, for how long do you think native dev will be important as a skill?

How do you get real work projects or internships if you’re a CS major who can code on all ends, but don’t have any experience. Do you just do your own small (or big) projects and keep building your resume? Or who do you ask to build stuff for free? Just random small companies?

Learning is an easy part. Getting paid is the hard.

[andymendez]

Im a simple man. I see a Stef video, I 👍

What kind of projects are in your courses i was going through python crash course iv'e got to list slicing but i find it so boring to continue i really want to build something cool but everything looks pretty lame to me just make take on it.

[Ultrajamz]

Thoughts on OS’s like NixOS for developers?

[ChandanKr.]

Can you make a video on Competitive Programming vs Project building which is the best option to get into product based companies.

[kevinwang]

How much computer science fundamental do you recommend to study like data structure and algorithm. I understand these may not be practical for a developer. But for the long run I believe any serious engineer should be solid on these knowledge. Btw how comfortable are you with these fundamental knowledge.

[michaeld]

Stefan, just curious are you using some kind of filter on your videos in post-production?

[CharlieWanku]

I'm a newbie and came across python, what's your thoughts on this program?
