5 Basic Concepts of Programming

Check out my new video "5 Basic Concepts of Web programming":

These are the 5 concepts I think you should be familiar with if you plan on being a programmer. Of course, this is just my take on programming and what I've learned so far - I'm sure the list will change at some point in the future.

In this video, I touch on topics like algorithms, programmer's thinking process, pseudocode, syntax, coding environments, IDEs (Visual Studio, Eclipse, Android Studio, Vim...), functions, classes & objects, object-oriented programming, pointers & references, variables, debugging, instructions & non-linear code execution.

I tried to simplify things and make them understandable for someone who's not so familiar with the subject, but also for someone who knows what I'm talking about. There are examples (mostly in C++ and Java) for most of the things I mentioned because I believe that's the most effective way of really understanding a concept.

As I spent a lot of time making this video, I would appreciate if you let me know your thoughts about this video.

Hey guys! Thanks for the amazing support on this video.
Since this video did really well, I made a new one about web development.
Check it out if you're interested:

I've been working in the industry for about 2 years now and I still learn and find inspiring videos like this. Very well presented meaningful knowledge!

[skyy]

I have been looking for a video like this for like 10 years. Thank you so much.

Hey! I enjoyed your video very much. You gave me a very clear overview of the basics with neatly organized topics, sleek vocabulary and presentation and also, very important, many concepts from which to continue digging in. It was a very solid introduction for me. Thank you very much for your contribution! 🍻

Thanks for sharing this video, I understand a lot better now and taken down some notes from your teaching

This is the first video I watch about programming as such. Being a linguist and having learned a lot about Neurolinguistics for years, I've been curious about computer programming in the last couple of years - I will finally start learning this week, I'm 34 :)

You helped me out a lot, thank you man

Thanks so much, I've been trying to learn C# for two months and still struggled with the basics concepts and relationship between these. Your explanation of classes, objects and functions using the table example, was exactly the way my brain needed to hear it to comprehend so thank you! I come from a social science background so these things are literally like learning two languages at the same time, the programming language itself but also just about how technical concepts work.

Great content in this video. Went much deeper than I thought it would. Thanks!

[KrypticDonut]

Very well taught in computer science they teach a few of these programming concepts at GCSE but this goes into more depth and explains these concepts very well in itself

[iamankursjain]

I was already familiar with all these concepts before watching the video however, your video gave me a different perspective. Thanks!

[sexysensation]

Clean, easy to follow presentation. Pleasant on the eye and easy to listen to. Thank you 👍

[TealClover-qklf]

I've been learning to program myself, and it's been a trip, to say the least. This video is honestly just the review I needed, painting a fresh perspective on these principles in a simple and memorable way. Thank you so much for compiling this!

[indushanrathnayaka]

Thank you so much for this video, you literally solved all my beginner questions

[RR-etzp]

Great video man, very informative for a beginner

[ryan-jamesbragg]

Really helpful for review. Much appreciated.

[markspindler]

Excellent video on core programming concepts.

[Olja]

You definitely have a career in teaching 🙂

[MukeshPatel-ewnp]

Good Presentation sir, you teach good language

[leannestrong]

Thanks for the lesson on programming. I understood it easily which relieved me because this is my freshman year at CTU. I am obtaining my degree in cyber security engineering. I saved the video for a quick reference when using this writing code lesson. This is the first week of being in this class and I feel comfortable now knowing what to expect... Thanks
