How I would learn to code (if I was a beginner)

Learning code is hard. 👨‍💻 After 7 years of coding full time, I go back to how I learned and see ways that I could better optimize my learning experience so that you can learn from my mistakes. Remember that consistency is key and learning to code is a lifelong journey. 😀
I’m a 27 year old entrepreneur who owns his own software agency. I have developed small and large scale applications for large and small clients.

Tip number 1 was by far the best advice I had heard from a youtuber. I began learning with Python, dabbled with C, played around with Kotlin, then Swift and finally ran into JavaScript and haven't looked back. Been coding with JavaScript for 9 months and I have no regrets, you can do basically almost anything with JavaScript. From Mobile, web, games, including 3D games with three.js I am now a JavaScript fan boy.

Repeat after me:

I am amazing
I am a good programmer
I love programming
I work hard
I cannot center a div

[saeedhalabi]

your channel is absolutely inspiring! Thank you so much for your hard work and effort :)

[al-manasama]

Omg yes to breaking things! I learn so much more from writing bad code, fixing all my errors and learning from mistakes, this alone helped my pythons skills at a better rate.

[j.r.r.tolkien]

I agree. Expert advice. Sad that some of us have to find this out the hard way. Most youtubers want you to keep watching their tutorials. I don’t blame them because of the great free content they put out. What I don’t like is when they use it as an opportunity to get you to buy their courses. Gives you the illusion that you’re still incapable of building things on your own and there’s some crucial “advanced” knowledge that you haven’t yet gained in order to build things on your own. Being clear about these things goes a long way.

Hi Lewis, I just started my tech journey and this video really helped me with my insecurities with being a noob at programming, I don't know if you hear this often but you're a really kind and smart person.

Thanks for this vid, I really learn a lot of things, especially I'm currenty dealing with imposter syndrome. You really motivate me to be who I am and not to be the expert of a lot of things. My strength is backend development and I am now pursuing to enhance and be expert with it.

[dadey]

You always give me motivation and believe more on myself. thanks for the great video.

[thefrederation]

[faizanahmed]

Great video, seriously I learnt a lot. Last one is must for every aspiring programmer out there.

[rafaelpascua]

i'm a third year IT student and i had lessons regarding HTML, CSS and a bit of C++ and javascript. this video helps me on what i should do in my journey in the IT world. Thanks!

[muhammadmahad]

I generally don't comment on yt videos. But the quality of content and editing is at next level. Thanks Lewis!

[dakshkhandelwal]

Your single single word is very helpful

[maryannecamo]

i have been stuck on tutorial hell some years ago and i could say that it's still the same for today, but whenever i dive in to some tutorials, i usually solve the things that they want to teach first before learning it from them, challenging my self first before going thru their process, that's how i compare and learn too

[poorvashukla]

wow ... this is a gem! Thank you and keep creating such useful content

[dariuspeterson]

A PowerShell logo when he said programming languages made me smile lol... Love PowerShell

[maxcode]

Thanks this really helped me I was thinking why I wasn't able to learn programming and after this video I realised I was trying to learn python, HTML and Ruby all at same time, Shiny stuff man can't resist it

[Dukep]

This hit me in the feels as I also felt like this many times!
