How To Learn ALL These Skills? 3 Practical Steps.

I received a comment recently inquiring about learning ALL the skills required to be a competent software engineer like front-end, back-end, APIs, Cloud, Servers, HTTP, etc.

How do you learn it all? What courses or steps do you take to reach that plateau?

In this video, I want to not only give you three practical steps to learning it all, but I want to address a big problem we have in our modern self-taught developer journies.

Tune in!

I've just figured out that the "DB" at MongoDB means database. I'm getting there. One flash of insight at a time.

Hi, as a beginner who wants to switch careers to programming, I find this video is so helpful. Honestly, I am kinda overwhelmed by so many things that I have to learn this time, and watching this video relieves me to take everything step by step and be persistent to learn things one by one. and yeah... I honestly don't know when will I reach to that point where I can master everything and apply for a job... but I guess... I just have to start it now :") bismillah...

I think one thing that is broke in our industry is that people forget the saying a jack of all trades and a master of none. Try to learn the basics in each area, but pick one or two areas to master. Most of other industries realize that it takes a team to build complex projects. In construction you have general contractor and he can practically build a shack or small house by himself or with his crew, but when it comes to a large mansion or a commercial building complex, he will need to call in specialists for each area. For small software projects a person can do everything, but for highly complex systems you need specialists. So pick at least one area to specialize in and concentrate on mastering that area.

Thanks Travis, awesome video once again. I can't agree more with the first point, a MASTER course is so important to gain thorough knowledge of the things you want to learn. So happy to see Angela's face because I'm currently on Day33 of "100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2023", and I need to say, her courses are LEGIT. Trust yourself and keep going.
Happy learning everyone!

I would learn if you would teach the course one day...your motivation and explanation is on next level

[jonathanjohnson]

Thanks Travis. And yes the web development course by Angela Yu is incredible. Very concise, to the point and the coding challenges help solidify the concepts.

I d add also harvard and other universities courses. Completely free, better peaced. I m on week six of CS50P, after getting halfway through an udemy course, cause I realized for me udemy courses have too much material, high quality but for me too condensed. My slow brain does not keep up, I needed something more human tailored, something that is proven to practically work on people.

At the 2:20 mark, I decided this video deserved my like.

Hi, I’m 34 and switching careers from automotive to web development. I’ve completed angela yu’s mern stack bootcamp, learned Java through Codecademy, and some python this year.

My friend is working in devops doing cloud migration working with aws, kubernetes and such and I would like to try and work with him or even just get into that field. I’m about to take the aws cloud practitioner exam tomorrow and then maybe get into Linux, docker, kubernetes, network+ and security+ and more.

My question is, do you think it’s possible to land my first job in devops bypassing web dev and what would be a good roadmap to do so?

[bethshebaovercame]

You know what I realized though, normally we dont know which one wont waste our time. Im already a c# jr dev but need help with APIs, Azure services.. basically backend. But I dont feel like having my time wasted anymore.

[danacosta]

Nice video Travis, super helpful advice, what are your thoughts on leetcode? Would that be a good substitute for the JS algorithms problems you suggested?

[Redeemed_marine_]

Is there a distinct difference between those courses and the free ones like the odin project?
