FASTEST Way To Learn Coding and ACTUALLY Get A Job

Learn to code in the most efficient way and become job ready. Being a self taught developer I jumped through a lot of hoops to get my first job. A lot of hoops that I wouldn't have needed to jump through if I had a good plan to learn coding and to become a software engineer. In this video I'll talk about:

-The quickest way to learn coding
-The correct way to look and apply for jobs
-How to handle the job search/interview process

I'm an Engineering Manager who has also taught coding to hundreds of people. This video is full of solid advice and the path Brian describes is legit. Free Code Camp is an amazing resource.

Phase 1: Start with html, css, and javascript. These act as gateway languages to learn other languages. Be sure to use AI like chat gpt. Phase 2: Learn python. Its friendly to all begginers. Phase 3: Learn React for easy next level web development. Depending on what you want to do, you can also consider other languages like NextJS or NodeJS. Phase 4: Practice, research, refine, and profit.

I learned Python over the pandemic, got my first job last year. I think it's important to think about what you'd like to do, then pick the language. I found that interviews and tests focus on fundamentals of the language. Also, knowing a coding language alone is unlikely to land you a job by itself, so find others skills that might be needed for the job you want. For me, I ended up needing stats, SQL, Git, some Cloud knowledge, Agile. One of the things I suggest to people trying to make a decision about what to learn - decide on the job, find job titles relevant to the job, find all requirements they have in common and starts with those.

I’ve watched a million of these types of videos over the past few weeks and this one is the best by far. No BS, straight substance

Just knowing how to code is not enough. Anyone can learn to code. Python isn't difficult. Its tedious. Its like the difference between knowledge and intelligence. Learning to code is knowledge. How you apply that code is intelligence. You need to learn multiple languages along with certification to get a "good" job coding. There are plenty of coders plotting away for hours doing the tedious work. Be the creator of the idea, not the coder. Once you understand that coding is basically a form of saying "If then, go to" It will all come together.

This video is full of great and accurate advice. The way to learn to write good code is by first writing bad code. You have to get your hands dirty and write. Don’t just watch tutorials.

Dope vid. I encourage those starting out with coding to use the “T” method. Meaning take one language and drive it to completion or until you can write over 25 lines of code without googling an example.

Even though I'm not in tech yet, I have learned so much on just job searching and interviewing. Thank you so much for this.

[truthhurtsohwell]

Fellow engineer here. You gave great and practical advice!!

There is something so REFRESHING about a video that I click on and the man just faces the camera and talks straight facts. No crazy “special effects “ or drama. Subscribed!!!
Thank you!!!

[fcarter]

This is good advice. I'm going through it right now. I just continue to code and learn but also I have learned a lot through failed interviews

[albertvillarias]

That's very straight to the point tip bro! Thanks so much 😊

[sethjackson]

This video has definitely helped me. I'm a service conncected veteran looking for a new career after a ohysically deabilitating diagnosis, . This gave me a lot of confidence to move forward when I start looking for positions after my schooling.

[shadayefast]

I have been looking all over YouTube for a video like yours. Straight to the point and so clear to understand. Thank you for telling us the best way to code without wasting our time! 😊

Man, im so glad i clicked on your video. I've been seeing the thumbnail on my feed but never clicked on it. But all of sudden, today i decided to click on it, and bro, i wish i had clicked on it earlier. Ive been learning to code for about 2-3 weeks now and scrambled all over the place with the languages.

[lioneljones]

This is a pretty good video, I am a full stack developer with experience with a lot of different frameworks, I have over 25+ years in software development and have done very well. I mentor a lot of people and they all ask me how to get started and a lot of the points you have stated are true, especially with they way technology changes. I am going to subscribe and bookmark this video and pass it on to some of my mentees 😂

[ReadingsbyDom]

Thank you very much Brian. I’m 56-years old. Greatly appreciate your content! Starting a second career. Former 20-years of residential construction financing.
JavaScript has been a challenge!

Ever see the old Abbott & Costello bit about baseball? “Who’s on first?”

You recommend free code camp and the Ordin project in this video. Do you feel one is better than the other or has new resource come about?

Finally - yes! My goodness! I’m confident that I have it then don’t know where to begin. However, once I begin, I’m able to gain momentum.

Again, much gratitude! Dom
PS - my channel is a hobby.

[shantelnubiah]

Thank you my Brother. I just wrapped a bootcamp. And I don't feel confident in my coding skills yet. I have so much to learn.

[maxmillianpatick]

That clarity is what I've been looking all along..hats off brav
