Solid positive video 👍

That's some great advice. As someone who is currently learning to code (doing The Odin Project) , I'm gonna need all the advice I can get!

You know I was amazed at this industry. When your looking for a job it doesn't always require a cs degree. Mostly what you can do and a good portfolio can get you by in most cases. Especially entry level jobs. P.s good video!

Woow very informative your video watching from saudi arabia🇸🇦

Agreed about Udemy, it's a great resource to scratch the surface of multiple CS skills and figure out what you want to do. The classes are inexpensive enough that you can experiment a little without paying a king's ransom to a University. I changed my major five times and managed to escape with only $35k of student loan debt, but I've taken courses in network infrastructure, cpp, Python, Blender, Unreal Engine, etc... without spending more than a few hundred dollars. I love using Udemy. Thanks for all the advice on social networking too. I have a meetup group and I'm part of several Discord communities, but I really need to go to GDC or Pax.

Too useful mate , thanks for tis video

good tips!

Patience is really the thing holding me through now fr

Hey, never expected Sir Criston Cole to have a KZread channel and make videos about coding

networking > cold applying. its hard to understand how you can build a network when starting out but it will happen if you just continue to push yourself to reach out to people either through linkedin, meetup groups, and even stackoverflow as weird as that sounds. the first few times i was reaching out to people my anxiety went through the roof but it only gets easier from then on.

Hi, do you think iOS development is good choice for freelancing? Lot of ppl saying web is best option.

Angela Yu has some great courses! Highly recommend! I followed her iOS dev course, web dev course, and I have her newish Python course as well! While I don’t rely on courses any more, the short form content is very easy to digest if I need to revisit or brush up on a certain topic.

Hello, I also want to become a software engineer, please tell me in what order and what programming languages me need to learn and advise software engineer courses from scratch

The reason I trash recruiters is because of the grimy shit some of them do. Being contacted about a position, told to apply because my resume or LinkedIn looked good, after I apply they immediately reply and tell me I am not a good fit for the job......then why did you contact me in the first place? Being ghosted on MULTIPLE occasions. Especially after an interview where I was promised I would get a response either way. I got sent to an interview for the wrong position, it was super embarrassing. Despite all this I still would advise to take every recruiter seriously because you never know which are legit or not but I am always cautious and expect the worst when interacting with them.

Kenny, which Udemy course do you recommend to learn android development?

I would love to hear some best tips for people outside of the USA/ Europe who may not have meetups / conventions to go to.

Kenny, I have a dumb question ; can you suggest me a coding career path that I can through it learning programming and get a job within 1 year!

I really liked the recruiter's name at 6:12. Carly Rae Jepsen!😂

true next week i start job at 50 but then i know so many, slow process, like attitude how much to do every day, then next day, through 3 month internship super process. And now just continue, but true get in get them close do it!

How long did it take for you to get your first job? I’m going on the self taught route and now I’m about to run out savings. I’ve been applying to at minimum 10 jobs a day for a week now. Mostly getting declined and I’m starting to get really anxious

Yes definitely sounds like a hard position. My story is simply not far from yours but in my case, since am working on my career I managed to find a 2 days job like on Friday and Saturday and sometimes Sundays just to have regular expenses moving - but you can't just set home and learn without funds even if you rely on your family or saving at some point they will wonder what the heck are you doing because they won't understand programming all that they will see just setting and messing with your laptop or pc. So my brother just finds yourself a side job that's a must in my opinion. if you don't have that yet just drop everything and move out and look for it. good luck

Hey Kenny, thanks for all your information, I'm at pretty much day one, I start visual basic in Ms Excel and I became pretty confident with it. All was self thought, my company was amazed by the efficiency of my document, mainly for financial purposes! Still working a my job, I was very lucky that they accept that I take a break of my manager job and concentrate on Power App from Microsoft to build them a mobile app. I don't want to stop there, I would like to begin my journey in coding (which I don't know much)...where do I start? I have the same interest that you have once with android studio...but my knowledge is very limited. Any suggestions for me to start as a self thought programmer? You inspired me already!!

Hey Kenny,the meetups near my area(India) are mostly devops and I'm into fullstack,so is it worth networking there or should i attend meetups related to fullstack? Thanks

@raymondmojica7621

Hey kev, this is my own opinion, however I'm nobody without a Software Dev job, but I would like to say "Yes" to your question. The reason is because that is what networking is. A lot of the people in their position don't get there but rather get put there. By that I mean you don't know what information they can offer you or help you get where you want to be. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

I consider myself lost in time and obsolete in the field, I stopped what i love (which is programming) 5 years ago as life diverted my attention to other things. Brother, If ever can you advise me where to start again. Thank you.

Hey man, just start! Life gets hard but you make time for the things that are important, just sit down and code for an hour a day every day, or even every other day. Slowly increase the amount of time you spend programming as you learn more. Just start programming!

All universities are not "created equal" they only gave me the tools. Everything I know I learned by experience! So, knowing what I know now I wouldn't have gone to college at all. Harvard's CS curriculum is online for free. In my opinion, THE most important thing when you are learning is having a mentor. It can cut your learning curve/time by more than 50%. Beginners waste lots of time because they don't know how things work, which is completely normal. It is not about the goals you have but the SYSTEM to achieve them.

Angela Yu's course is great for getting introduced to webdev but it's outdated. She recommends using atom text editor which will be not be supported in future. She still teaches jQuery and her React section is 4+ years old. The tutorial titles are updated automatically by Udemy to the latest year.

@@warrenb6280 I'd honestly avoid most video tutorials. They're hard to update and maintain by authors and they attract a less dedicated crowd/community, which means you'll have to spend more time finding answers when you're stuck. My suggestion is stick with angela yu up until jquery module and use vscode instead of atom. It takes around 1.5 weeks if you can dedicate 3-4 hours each day. It's a comfortable way to getting started and seeing what web development is about. At that point if you're certain you wanna become a web developer switch to the odin project. I know it's scary to do a 99% text tutorial but it's worth it. You get used to reading documentation and articles which is what professional developers do on job every day. It is open source and updated regularly so it will never have deprecated concepts, programs. Projects on odin are more demanding especially because you're not "spoonfed" the way video tutorials do. You'll have to actually google stuff instead of going back to previous lessons. Community is awesome too. Of course it has some downsides as well. You might have to spend a day setting up linux. Since it is managed by professional developers for free, it refers to jargon heavy, bloated articles every now and then. They don't always have time to take the most relevant and useful parts from docs and articles like the video tutorial authors do. Projects may get a little too difficult and discouraging. I'm sure many people abandoned odin at certain projects especially because there isn't a solution provided directly unlike the video tutorials. Give it a shot, worst case scenario you go back to a video tutorial.
