So, you want to build apps & websites?

This video is all about the learning process and the mindset you need to become a web developer or learn to code in general. Sometimes we need a reminder on most basic things that we have already heard a million times.

If this video help even a single person to become a developer, I will count it as a success :)

If you can code without getting crazy you are a computer made with cpu and memory of a super computer data center.

If you master design and code, you will be on a new whole level in this competitive market

I been working on studying since Christmas 2023. From what I knew and what I was able to solve back then is completely different from what I know now. I almost put 4+hrs every weekday and some on the weekend. I’m slowly understanding it and hopefully I’m able to create my first web app on my own eventually for that resume portfolio 🙏. This video just motivated me even more

« errors and failures will teach you like no teacher or tutorial ever will » this says it all as you just have to keep practicing

the key to becoming a good programmer and web designer is to have meaningful projects that you work on. you can spend all the time in the world and learning languages, but it doesn't matter if you're not moving the dial for a meaningful project.

The one thing most people forget is to make a roadmap for almost everything. It may seem a bit rather peculiar at the start to make roadmaps for small things but as time goes, things get messy and this habit helps a little bit in every field that requires brains.

Honestly I feel like the hardest part with projects is just coming up with fresh ideas. I have been coding for two years and I want to start working on a project that is unique and I can proudly call my own. The problem is that there are just so many developers that the likelihood of coming up with something original is near zero, even if it's in a niche interest. Even when I find that idea, it often feels way too ambitious or large-scope for me to consider doing at my skill level.

Maybe I should think more like an artist instead. Like, it's cool if you want to make an OC, but in order to do that, you need to learn how to draw a face (maybe thousands of faces). Maybe I'll have to copy someone else's idea, or put a creative spin on it, or watch someone else, or contribute to someone else. Perhaps I should just focus on building on what's already out there, and on the way I might find that special idea.

I’m 20 years old, about to turn 21 in 3 months. I need to start coding now. I’ve been procrastinating since summer of 2023. Since then I’ve learned about some of the mental shifts I needed to do. I removed and deleted many distractions out of my life that were inhibiting me. Now to work towards my programming career. 💪

"There is less competition . . ." . . . . . WHERE IS MY JOB THEN

From a young age I've wanted to create games. I'd say from the age of maybe six, I'd draw UIs for games in my notebook with things like buttons and just different widgets with texts like: "drift" and pictures of bullets or something. So, I tried coding for the first time, I'm now like 14, with Pascal and I FELT OMNIPOTENT simply from a program that could subtract two numbers. I felt like I had a superpower or something and I went on to create a console app that could draw a makeshift table for a balance sheet we learned in class. Now am 17 and am working on my chemistry toolkit in flutter(balancing, stoichiometry, molar mass and so on). I guess I was just lucky cause I had, and still have, a passion for it. All in all it depends on how interested you are and how much you're willing to put in cause we all struggle like I legit think I've seen as many errors as they are hairs on my head.

this is an amazing video!!! I personally learn a lot from courses/videos, it's just important to actually try the technologies after doing a follow-along type course. I really humble myself on how much I actually learned very quickly, then on the next course I watch I go in with a lot of questions from my previous projects and I will learn way more. Learning -> doing -> failing -> repeat is my way of learning.

[Reiagane]

Thanks for the motivation and reality check. I'm on the path to becoming a Data Analyst, and I almost gave up considering how much effort and time I've spent. But yeah, nothing can be built in just one day, especially when it comes to building a foundation of knowledge. 🔥🔥
Your vid helped me a lot mentally.

dude i've been waiting for a video like this

[AD-wgik]

After 3 years of self-taught experience, I’ve found coding to be the easy part. The difficult part is managing complexity.

[MAhmad-tg]

Man, for me you're that caring and genius senior at uni that i don't have.

[Zayetzo]

I still remember the days when I had to build a game using this IDE called Greenfoot using Java and built around the concept of this Xbox 360 demo game I played called Feeding Frenzy. I'm still so happy that I have the game that I built to this day when I was 14.
