Anyone notice my ’The Batman’ inspired shot from outside the car with me talking inside. Inspired by the penguin car chase, I was really happy with that shot. Maybe too happy

1:02 That camera angle is so cool! I've never seen a Youtuber use it in a monologue, dope idea

i started learning to code 2 years ago, projects really help. on my way to my first professional role. C was my first language, you appreciate higher level languages after re inventing the wheel over and over again :).

Guys my college senior gave me a tip on this coding stuff, which is to "Understand the logics of the code. And understand the flow of execution." This might seem like a vague way, but this really helped me out in my University exams with C and Python, and I was able to score highest marks. Keep coding, my bros!

I started with python and the benefit of doing that as far as I see is that it sparks interest for programming within you. Since it is easier and the only thing we need to worry about is logic, therefore it makes it suitable to start with.
Although it doesn't matter which language to choose, because it's just a tool rather than a skill.

What really helped me to learn to program was focusing on learning computer science 'concepts' first (first or alongside coding). I tried to learn just coding many times at many different points of my life and shifting the focus of my learning really enabled it to 'click'.

I started with z80 assembly back in the early 80s. That really gets you to understand how EVERYTHING works in a computer.
Hadn't codes in years, and started learning Python about 5 years ago as a hobby.
Whilst lower level languages are great to know the nuts and bolts, life is too short. 😀

I'd like to thank you for posting this video :). I rarely comment on anything, but have to do so on this one. A few months ago I started my junior college year of software engineering and hoped to learn the basics of computational thinking and coding, so at the end of the year I could say I started to properly learn how to code, yet it didn't go well. They expected we had some basic knowledge, but some of us were practically just beginning. The first half of the year is Python, and the other is C language studying. Luckily or unluckily, I still haven't started to listen recorded material and actually hoped to find some good ground zero to start with in the right way. Something tells me this is that video. Thank you Kalle

[aaronag]

great video. i'm just switching from live tv broadcast support to software engineering. Originally from mainframe and PC programming in the 80s, assembler, COBOL, Fortran, Pascal and Basic lol
Now need to learn JavaScript and Python, so your words are very helpful.
Thanks

Love your content and some great advice, thank you mate!! I agree that picking a coding book and finishing it is KEY! Lots of little projects are awesome, and lastly, do tutorials on YouTube BUT, make sure you play with the finished product to make it your own, without that last part, you're just making projects other people wanted. It's important to make it personal :)

Just want to start off with that your videos are great Kalle! I've been programming for 5-6 years now, I started in the seconds year of High School. I didn't understand anything at first and I had a really hard time learning. But what I did to learn was that I love photography, and I felt like I wanted my own website to post my photos on. So I just set off with the huge task of wanting to build my own version of Pinterest/Instagram. For me this was a great way to learn because I had the motivation to get it done and I wanted to see if I could do it. And no, it won't be perfect (far from it), but you later learn how to improve it. And the more you learn to improve it, the more fun it gets. At least that was the case for me, and I'm workin on it still to this day.

When I started coding last year September it was your video on what to cover for python basics that helped me advance a lot quicker and start working on projects within the month, so thank you for that and all the other videos too 💕

[Unicode]

I’ve been watching your videos since ur buzz cut days, Your editing keeps getting better and better. all the best Kalle!

[ronitgandhi]

This video is so good. Really nice to watch this. You did a great job in this video rather than sitting on a chair and just speaking. You showed and spoke your point from different scenarios.. Loved this concept<3

[MDobri-syce]

Programming is not my thing but my best friend loves it so, I thought it would be interesting to learn some of the terminology and it’s neat to see what people can do with it.

[DaniyalAk]

Great composition and story building 👍

[goodboyneon]

When I started programming, the first language I learned was JavaScript. I would also recommend for anyone else who wanna get into it. The reason why I recommend it is it’s one of the easier language, and if you wanna get into any other languages like java or C# most of the methods and logics would be same, ex. For loops, if else if statements, while loop, functions etc.

[noname-wrkx]

i appreciate this so much, thank you for what you're doing!! Tack så hemskt mycket, älskar dina videos

[thehariskhan]

Started learning to program 3 years ago as a Beginner I was curious to Learn all Languages, which cause frustration and problems in my learning loop. so after struggling first with C# then with Java. I write down what motivates me most so then I move to Web Development.

Learning from the internet, web mentors Build small projects and then post them on the internet (Github + Social Media), it helps a lot in my journey. & I conclude that first find out what field will excite you most then Go for it work daily because Micro wins are equal to Gorgeous Life.

Now I post Web Dev content on my Youtube Channel and my inspiration is you, Kalle. Your content is amazing, keep it up, and Safe Driving

Thanks Kalle, another great video. However, I have a question:
The second edition of “Head First Java” was published March 1, 2005. It says on the cover that it covers Java 5.0.
The third addition has not come out yet but is advertised on Amazon. The 3rd edition covers Java 8-17.
I assume you recommend waiting and buying the third edition; am I right?
