1 - focus on one thing.
2 - finish what you start
3 - embrace failure
4 - know the theory behind
5 - practice coding every day

You can honestly start under any circumstances.
I started coding on a farm in the middle of nowhere and only had a semi-working IDE-App on my phone and an old C book.
I worked through the whole thing on my tiny screen and made little games for my colleages.
And now I'm an EE student and easily code anything for my thesis.
As you see, there's literally no excuse! :)

Excellent advice and an entertaining video! I started 25 years ago and failed all my coding classes. I looked at my VB6 book and said, "I don't care, I'm going to be a programmer, " then I started from page 1. Again. Determination has served me better than any other trait.

Doing computer science in undergrad is one of the toughest things that I have ever studied. It was so hard and I cried so much over my assignments 😂😂😂 I don't regret it though because it made me a stronger person

I had made a mindset that I was a bad programmar since I was very weak in coding in school time, but now my mindset is changing after watching your some videos.

These are great tips! Definitely some of what I would tell my younger self when I was learning to code. I would definitely also add… you need to AGGRESSIVELY block out anything or anyone who is going to distract and/or discourage you from reaching your goal of learning to code 👩🏾‍💻

I wish more people in more industries would give the advice of knowing the "why" or the "theory" of the thing. You may succeed without it, but you will make a better thing if you know why you're doing each part. Thank you for doing that!

All 5 can be summed up to 1 word: Persistence. You can pretty much do most thing with that.

[e-genieclimatique]

in brief:
In this video, the speaker discusses how to get started with coding and shares five tips to make it easier.
The tips are as follows:

1. Focus on one thing at a time: Choose a course or resource and stick to it.
Be disciplined about learning things in-depth.

2. Finish what you start: Develop the habit of completing projects, readings, or courses.
Being relentless in software engineering is a desired trait.

3. Embrace failure: It's okay to fail, as it builds character.
Learn from your mistakes and try to get better. Don't be afraid to ask for help or search for the correct answer.

4. Learn the theory: Understand the fundamentals before diving into coding.
This will help you better grasp concepts and make coding more powerful.

5. Code: Practice coding daily to build your skills.
Consistency and curiosity are key to learning faster and overcoming difficulties.

By following these tips, the speaker claims that coding will become easier every day, and learners will be able to prove their capabilities to themselves.

The editing here is so good! And I love the emphasis on just starting - it's definitely the most important

You talking about being proud of your failures, while failing to describe the word failure, and keeping that cut in the video, is art.

If wanna learn how to code, i would advice anyone to first learn algorithme. Coding actually uses the combination of algorithme which is the logical process of thought + the language to bring that algorithme to work. But the thing is algorithme never changes while the languages keep changing. For the first coding language i would suggest you start with Python, it's an easy to use language with far less prompts needed to execute an algorithme. This makes you able to focus on actually learning the algorithme than struggling to use the language.

I am learning to code at age of 42 wish me good luck. You are keeping me motivated!

[janemalundu]

This was so well formulated. Thank you for an informative and straight to the point video.

[adrianconstantin]

As a softwarte developer, I find it amazing how good this advice is ! Nailed it !

[abi]

Thanks for this . I really need this right now because recently I have stopped coding properly.

[Corsair]

Great tips for someone starting in software development. I would add to your tip about asking for help, that when you do ask for help, it's useful to provide a list of things you've already tried. This will help the person you're asking from providing answers you've already tried.

Also, understanding the theory/fundamentals cannot be overstated. Understanding the why, not just the how, enables you to further leverage the frameworks you're working with as well as troubleshoot problems in the code. For example, my background as a senior dev is mainly in C#. I use Entity Framework extensively now - but if I was teaching or mentoring someone new to the language, I would probably start them out with just plain old ADO and T-SQL, so they would better understand EF and what its doing under the hood when they got there.

And yes, there will be times when you spend days trying to figure out a problem. More often than not, the solution is relatively simple. Figuring it out can be a bear though.
