FASTEST Way To Learn Coding and ACTUALLY Get A Job

Learn to code in the most efficient way and become job ready. Being a self taught developer I jumped through a lot of hoops to get my first job. A lot of hoops that I wouldn't have needed to jump through if I had a good plan to learn coding and to become a software engineer. In this video I'll talk about:
-The quickest way to learn coding
-The correct way to look and apply for jobs
-How to handle the job search/interview process

    I learned Python over the pandemic, got my first job last year. I think it's important to think about what you'd like to do, then pick the language. I found that interviews and tests focus on fundamentals of the language. Also, knowing a coding language alone is unlikely to land you a job by itself, so find others skills that might be needed for the job you want. For me, I ended up needing stats, SQL, Git, some Cloud knowledge, Agile. One of the things I suggest to people trying to make a decision about what to learn - decide on the job, find job titles relevant to the job, find all requirements they have in common and starts with those.

    Just knowing how to code is not enough. Anyone can learn to code. Python isn't difficult. Its tedious. Its like the difference between knowledge and intelligence. Learning to code is knowledge. How you apply that code is intelligence. You need to learn multiple languages along with certification to get a "good" job coding. There are plenty of coders plotting away for hours doing the tedious work. Be the creator of the idea, not the coder. Once you understand that coding is basically a form of saying "If then, go to" It will all come together.

    Another amazing video ❤ To learn quickly you need to have quick wins that motivate you to keep learning. I did struggle for 1 year with complex tutorials and couldn`t learn anything. It was so frustrating. What was game changing for me was learning through Books that have interactive content. Those that make you write and test the codes by yourself on each chapter. This is the best way to learn because it gives you quick wins as soon as you learn a new concept. Edit: For those asking, the books that made me learn were "Javascript In Less Than 50 Pages" and "Smarter Way to Learn Python". Once you get the basics, learning anything else becomes much easier.

    Simple start, take a node course and redo the basic frontend from the course in React or Vue. Then take a React course with firebase or a pre-built backend and build a backend from scratch. Then take the best from two full stack ecoms and merge the things you like about them. Break things, use tutorials as a guide. Take a course that shows you how to launch a site on AWS then redo all your past projects on AWS. You'll pay attention to tutorials and how they work more carefully when you know you have to tear it apart and make it work with another tutorials' code.

    I started as a helpdesk 7 years ago, then got a technical support roll that grew to technical administrator by the end. I had always set to be a software developer but got comfy as a system admin there after.. wasn't until I noticed more companies getting rid of the sys admin roll and moving into managed services was it when I decided to try out for software developer again. I took up a sys admin job that had plenty of developers and were very software forward. Over the last year and half I've been showing my interest and long story short I will start as a Software Developer next month!

    Valuable video and information. The only part that was a bit discouraging was 2:03 because I want to learn to code just so I can build my own stuff, for example my own CMS or E-Commerce site, from scratch, because I don't want to depend on Wordpress anymore. I'm 32 and I don't want to be a Junior AGAIN, so to avoid having to prove something to recruiters or starting over in a new compan, I prefer to build something for a small business idea, but build it exactly how I want it.

    That will help you jump the junior level role. If you were able to build something that’s not the typical countdown timer or something similar, you’ll be able to show that you are about junior and deserve more.

    As someone that made all these mistakes, I agree with your methods. It is critical to have a project to do. It may be quite hard to find a project if you are not already playing around with computers and have a need for something, but try and find something that is either needed or cool. For example, a friend just started designing a scoring system for a school sports day. He knew HTML, CSS and some javascript, and was starting to learn Python. He thought it would be fairly easy, but the fundamentals weren't there and he has learnt a LOT in the month or two working on it. He also found following along basic lessons a bit tedious and having a goal of a certain feature, GUI item or action for the program really helped.

    Hello! I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed your video. It's rare these days to find individuals who share their personal experiences and journeys. Your willingness to discuss your mistakes and flaws during interviews is incredibly helpful. I hella can relate to jumping around and not sticking to one language, so your explanation really resonated with me. Your video has motivated me to get back into coding. I do have a question, if you don't mind answering when you can: I'm turning 37 in a few months, and I started coding in late 2018, learning the basics like HTML, CSS, and JS. Currently, I'm refreshing my knowledge of JS and React. My goal has always been to quit my job as a labor intensive carpenter and land a web developer job, but life got in the way. So, my question is, considering my age, do you think it's too late for me to pursue a career as a coder? My age is what's been discouraging me and holding me back from moving forward. What are your thoughts? Also, you've just gained a new subscriber!

    Thanks do the support! So for age I don’t think you’re late at all. I know some people personally to me that made the change in their mid to late 30s also. But I would try to focus as much as I can to try to make the change sooner rather than later. Just know there are way more avenues out there outside of web dev because it’s pretty crowded right now. Even if you’re learning JS you can still apply to other jobs not specifically web dev.

    I'm learning Python now, doing the 100 day boot camp course. Gotta say the course itself has been really fun so far and learnt a lot already and definitely gonna stick with it. I recommend it to any beginner like myself as like Brian said in this video, the course itself teaches all the basics as simple as it gets and slowly gets more challenging each section you complete and you cant go further until you know the section inside and out. Best thing about it as well that it teaches you how to build your own portfolio to help you get any junior developing jobs.

    A word of advice for new joiners: Be cautions about big multis who offer you an easy way in but then will begin to outsource you to any kind of projects they got under their belt regardless what your desired path is. They will suck you dry and toss you out eventually as a 'generalist'. Meaning you will know a lot of different things but not enough to be a specialist in any area. And then once you hit the road after several years serving this company you will have no value as a developer.

    @@Nyamolo_V So as you know many of the large multis do project development by simply outsourcing their developers for a fixed amount of time to their clients. They have a number of ongoing projects all the time(a few that requires java BE and Angular FE and some others with react or c++ or anything that required for that project). When a new project starts and the company suddenly needs 5-10 React developer for the job(and they dont have the necessary resource available) they will begin to hire. They dont want to loose the project so they will go easy on the interviews just to be able to build up the necessary workforce and will promise all that you want to hear. Lets assume you as a young ambitious react developer got hired for full time by this company for this specific project. It goes on for 6-7 months and you work within you desired technology. But then suddenly the project runs out and you end up on the bench. You tell your boss that you happy to work on any other react project but unfortunately the company does not have any free slot available for you on any other ongoing development. You just became a reliability. Then a new development comes in with requirements for Node js devs. So your boss reaches out to you and tells you that this is all they got and either this or hit the road. So you either become jobless or start working with a technology that does not part of your personal development plan and before you know you will find yourself in a loop of unrelated projects, filling requirement gaps and slowly turning into a generalist.
