DO this instead of watching endless tutorials - why you will never learn!

If you have purchased many of videos that are from udemy coursera linkedin Learn and still feel like you are not making progress on learning programming. This video is for you.

In this video we are going to talk about things you should do instead to help you learn more effectively.

A tutorial to get out of tutorial hell

[AirLineASMR]

The best method is to watch some videos and then get some hands-on experience. I use the 60-40 rule: 60% hands-on experience and 40% watching tutorial videos.

Watching tutorials actually works for me. I watched how to build the Netflix website once; I then rewatched it again. But this time, I was coding along.  Essentially, copying all he was doing step by step and taking notes. After that, I started from scratch and built the Netflix website to about 75% without referencing the video. I watched the video one more time and completed my Clone website. I can now build the Netflix website from scratch without referencing my notes or the video. The how-to video is about an hour long. It takes me about 3 hours, 10 minutes to do it. I plan to just keep building Clone projects until I become very good. I'm building the Apple website next. I can't believe I almost gave 8k to a coding boot camp when everything knowledge I need about coding is free on Youtube😂

You learn by doing. Studying without applying knowledge is like reading about how to fix a car without ever seeing the parts or tools

[elliotlassey]

I used to think tutorials didn't work at first but then I realized after hours of trying to code my own things up from scratch myself that you just can't really discover certain syntax and code logic by accident all on your own even after hours of practice. sometimes the best way to learn is to just follow a tutorial and learn from someone else's code. This will save you hours of trial and error. It's fast and efficient. you just have to make sure you truly understand the code in depth before you move on to something else. Just try to code the whole thing on your own after watching the tutorial and following the tutorial

[kzelmer]

That is the way. A friend asked for help because he wanted to learn Jenkins. My answer: do dyou want to learn Jenkis? Get the official doc and lets deploy a hello world spring boot app. As simple as that. The old learn by doing. You will get stuck, you will get frustrated... but eventually you will learn something

In systems administration, tutorials are very crucial given they are meaningful, but they must be paired with hands-on. Understanding how it works and knowing how to do it is the key.

[JerseyJeff]

Best thing that ever happened to me was hands-on experience. I'm in I.T. so anytime I could get my hands on spare computers, create virtual machines, help someone in the industry, etc, was crucial for me. Even where I work now, I am learning something new almost monthly. So, tutorials are nice to get the ball rolling, but should never be solely relied on.

Thank you, I needed to hear this. Something simple, but totally right

[assassin]

I'm actually about to learn coding and I saw your vid, this is such a great help so I could make it through . This really means a lot, thank you so much!

- Pause & Reflect.
- Learn through experience.
- Challenge yourself = Upgraded knowledge.
- Recharge your energy and don't cost yourself; overwhelming is unnecessary.


Glad this video is short but detailed (time & brain frendly😂). Thank you again!!

[DevJuvenilson]

Thanks for the video, it makes a lot of sense now, I was used to just watching and copying what the teacher was doing, and obviously I'm not learning with this. I'm going to start my own project, wish me luck!

[buildervision]

A tutorial can get you started but challenges and building things outside of your comfort zone is what gets you the skill, and then for deep understanding you have to read books.

[nemesioansorin]

Wow, repetition always work :) just my 2 cents. In the sense of memorizing things and creating a valuable (good or bad) feedback - it works both ways - either proving you some theories, either proving some things are wrong, re-adjusting / enlarging your experience. Good, valuable points overall ... you got a new subscriber.

I upgraded so many skills during covid but when I went back to working as an admin in the creative floor I got a hold of licenses. They granted me access to use the tools so I would listen during meetings look for the problems and build the solutions to actually apply what I learned. I learned illustrator got access to Adobe creative. The VP was cool about giving me access to the tools they already use. Then I started playing with photoshop. Then sharepoint and more microsoft tools and now creating project management tools. I stay a bit late to speak to the associates to ask how to do something even the video editor. So glad I did I actually retained everything because I created projects around it. Its amazing to learn and actually apply it. Programming is next but next year so I dont crash lol

[toobprojects]

Really makes sense. One should also find an excuse to learn that specific language or tool, i.e. may be you want to build a small CLI tool to help you automate a few daily operations that you have you perform manually, then you can jump into Golang or Python etc ... Great advice, thanks a lot Vicky.

[Gregory-ov]

Start building a real project as soon as possible after watching a tutorial video or course, or reading a book.

The advice in Victoria's video is worth the time to watch.

[saeedansar-skfh]

i start my web development journey before 10 days so im learning HTML, im learning from code with harry and w3 school's and you're beautiful

[MrRgarcia]

Not a programmer or looking to be one. I do suffer from analysis paralysis and get so immersed in whatever I'm studying that I forgot about application and continuous improvement. I appreciate this video.

[rtz]

just found your channel, very good advice. I've attended a boot camp, got my degree and still feel very inadequate thinking i need to learn more, going into tutorial hell lol. I wil go back to basics and refresh what I'v elearned. Thanks

[abogdzie]

I just got proposed videos like yours at least 5 by YT in last 5 minutes, but it's actually yet another one why people are not learning, but just watching your speech. And not sure why YT is attacking me with this content.
