    I am 29, no college degree, working as a framing labor from 9-5. Learning coding has been an obsessive idea of mine since I was 24. But because of worklife, lack of dedication, and lack of motivation, I have wasted those past 5 years. This year I have decided to give it my all. Seeing someone achieve what I desire by himself, truly motivates me. I salute you. 👏

    I know that it’s almost a year later but thank you so much for making this video. I also have a nutrition background but I have recently turned to learning how to code. I’m learning Python first through Codecademy and it’s been hard but I wanted a challenge. Going to subscribe to your channel to learn more about your experience and any tips you may have.

    Hey Simone! That's great you've started teaching yourself! Are you learning Python because you're interested in Data Science? Because if not, and you're learning Python to be a developer/software engineer, then you should start by learning web development fundamentals first, in case you haven't already, and that's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. That's because when building websites with Python, you need to know the basics of building websites before you even start learning Python. Otherwise, you'll have to come back to learn web development fundamentals anyways when it comes to building Python projects, so it's better to start at the beginning then in the middle, and have to go back. If you're doing data science though, then disregard that lol Hopefully that helps! Thanks again for tuning in and subscribing to my channel! In case you want to ask me any more questions, you can Contact ME at www.ROOTsTechnology.info

    It will be, Oscar! If you haven’t already, look for online beginner coding communities to join by going to Meetup.com and searching Python to see what events and groups you can join. This way, you meet people learning just like you that you can reach out to for help. Thanks for tuning in and subscribing to my channel!

    Yeesss! I'm glad you picked up on that lesson, that's one of the most important things! People can't find or help you if they don't know what you're doing and what you need help with. And, it's important to start doing for others while you don't immediately need anything too. Great takeaway! Thanks for tuning and subscribing to my channel!
