I watched this video almost a year ago, and I signed up on treehouse. I took a bunch of courses and a few months later I got a job as a Web Developer. Now I have seven months under my belt and I love my job.

Actually I would like to start learning React but I don’t think my JS skills are enough good. Anyhow thanks for good word, comment like yours, give me more courage to keep going. 😉

So inspirational, this almost made me cry. I got really discouraged working towards an engineering degree so I had to start thinking outside the box(the traditional way of thinking when it comes to education) and I have come across so many videos that has inspired me. Thanks for sharing your passion and story with us.

Did you get it?

I got my first web development job last week at a very small start up. I finished my first project according to the design I was given and I ended up being let go due to a lack of experience. What bothers me most is that I did what I was told and they didn't even give me feedback. They could have at least told me it looked bad (I honestly thought the designs given looked bad), but I made their designs happen. Oh well though, I gained some experience and now I'm off to look for my next gig.

This is so inspiring. Honestly, I was just about to give up, trying to get my head around html and CSS but finding it a bit tough. Been to uni but left so no formal education which can be a disheartening thought. But this just shows that the only limit is yourself. Thank you

How you doing now?

you're awesome bro, just found that I may be getting redundant, and have always wanted to learn how to code but lack of confidence and self belief would always hinder my progress but you have restored that and now I kinda don't have a choice I mean what the alternative .. cheers dude.

I'm starting my journey & found you were the most relatable & I resonated alot with the things you had to say. After watching 5 or 6 of your vids I dubbed you my coding sensei lol. I've never been this passionate about something & I have never been this low & desperate in my life to make something work. I watch alot of KZreadr's but never have I gone back to watch a KZreadr's vids from day 1. I think watching your journey while learning code will help keep me focused & motivated to stick it through and succeed. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.

Congrats dude! Glad everything worked out for you. I'm learning code now myself, I'm currently a graphic / web designer now

You are so adorable! I've been learning code for a two months and have been applying to boot camps, but can't afford them. So knowing that I can do it through treehouse gives me so much hope. I was feeling super depressed about the whole thing. Thanks for putting this video up! :)

man Chris it's crazy to look back and see how much growth you've had with your persistence. Thanks again for taking the time and keeping us inspired

Humble beginnings :) man... It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come, even just from the time you made this video. Gives me hope man. Thank you for sharing your story.

Omg... I've been feeling exactly like you. I realized that my current job is a good job that pays well. But I am not going to be able to really position myself well financially. I've thought about programming over the years but I've wondered if I could really do it. This video truly inspired me... Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Thanks for keeping my interest in coding and programming alive.!! Love your honest approach. Thank you!

Anyone can build "hello world". That is not what makes you a programmer. The way you think is what defines a clever or good programmer

Hey guys this story pretty much echos my experience I’ve been doing Treehouse since February and it is now November and I’m starting a junior developer job next week, you learn so much with treehouse I definitely recommend it

Dude I love your story...literally started tearing up in the eyes to hear your interesting story

hi Chris, thanks for posting this video. Never really thought about coding but your video inspired me to look more into coding as I've always wanted to create something. Thanks!

very similar experience!! I'm relearning a lot of coding I gave up a while back, going headstrong and not giving up this time!

Hi Chris a lot of web developers use Wordpress now would you recommend create sites on Wordpress instead of typing sites on note pad or sublime etc?

thanks for this sir, I just got let go of my job and all I do is learn to code, I'm actually able to build websites using abviously html css and boot strap but I still think my work is not good enough but hearing people like your self motivating others gives me the extra push and I thank you for that! good luck to all!

I have similar story to yours, I always skipped classes at high school and always got bored at classes, I always stayed at home to play video games and sleep, but i always loved computers and than i started to learn to code, and today i work as web dev, good luck to you chris! and to all other watcher and reader, dont give up! anybody can code and it doesn't matter if you went to college or if you were a good student or not! the beauty of code that nobody look at your past, its only about your skills

Man I've been putting this on the back burner for far to long and now because you, Chris, I'll be moving forward and I know I'll become a web developer. Thank you Chris

Thanks this was motivating. I’ve been scared to start learning but I think I’m ready now. Great video ☺️

on the treehouse website there's the option between build a website and learn to code! isn't this pretty much the same? help.. thank you

can i study from freecode camp isted i dont have much money to learn webselveloper i work very hard my job is very suck but i want to learn to code too

Hello Chris, I am so happy for you. It is good that you went for it and followed your feelings by learning to code. There is another great thing in this. If you have your own ideas, you can actually build it yourself not depending on someone else. I am 43 myself and an internet marketer for 12 years. Normally I search for developers but at the same time, I feel the urge to build platforms myself. Being able to program yourself or at least program together on your projects makes you more independent and involved. Today I made the decision to learn to program too. Thank you again for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Thank you for making this video. I was really hesitant about learning code but now I know it is possible.

Definitely needed this video thank you so much Chris!

Chris, thank you for the positive messages! I want to become a developer as well but with no experience! I will research the info you provided because I want this life!

Hey Chris. I just bumped on your channel and its crazy how algorithm works. I'm in the point of my career that I want to pursue what I love the most (programming ) 10+ years ago then I happen to saw this 7 year old video. Thank you for reminding me that its never to late to code. I may know less to nothing right now but as I leave this message here I will get back to it a year from now and recount when it all started again. Leap of Faith. Amen.

Chris I really like your honest and really inspiring video. Well done for changing up your life, taking a risk with your work and believing in yourself, you're incredibly inspiring!

Hey chris! I was wondering if you had any experience with Codecademy? I just finished my 7 day trial of the pro subscription and got through a lot of the intro html and css stuff. I know you're all about treehouse, would you recommend the switch or should I continue with Codecademy?

I cannot see the link of your first website that you made... Can you please where is it?

Hello Chris Sean i have question i want ask you as you told us on end of video if there are some one who has question can... probably we all learn about to code especially we try to spend a lot of time but still looks difficult to know it... for my when am developing some application or another i always create front end like button and i goin on diff website, videos tutorials to find the code to achieve the action of button when is clicked So my question is... Is it also the way you use when you are developing or you are sit down and create your own code ? PLEASE ANSUER ME IN FULL Thanks

KZread needs more people like you. Good job mate! Keep doing what you do!

Wasn't expecting the intro to be that. Haha, like a sign this is the next path. Clicking on your video tonight was a double blessing. I hear you dude. I am stuck in a job, no pay rise in 5 years, on very low income and now with 2 kids and mortgage trying to do something about it. Recently sparked an interest in programming and now I'm here after hours and hours of vids and have just been extremely encouraged. God bless you dude. 👍

You’re right. I’ve been doing treehouse since 2 weeks ago and I just finished first JavaScript. I’m obsessed. I was a programmer in community college. So it’s natural. Thanks for the vote of happiness!

thank you for inspiring video! I have started learn to code recently and as you said "hard to believe in yourself by looking at the experience from the past and etc." ))) thanks for this video

Chris, thanks. I'm a Web Developer too and I had been feeling kinda discouraged lately. I've been coding for around a year now, and. I got to the point where I felt somehow stuck in my progress and I just didn't feel like coding, but your enthusiasm really made me remember how amazing it is to create, to be able to make a "Hello World", and to turn awkward lines of characters into a functioning website. thanks Chris.

Chris, I just found your channel. After watching some of your videos I've decided I'm going to give front end developing a shot. I have only written some code on tutorial apps but I've watched some videos and read some stories. So far I like what I've seen and done and with the encouragement of your videos, I've signed myself and my son up for a bootcamp. Thanks for all you do. Wish us luck - rich

I've been studying JS more then 1 year and I've created somethings in JS, some with help, some without help. Since I don't feel I'm a reeeally good JS programmer yet, I don't know if it's time to move on and look for a job, and/or start learning react. Does anybody have a suggestion? Thank you. :)

Question?? Chris. In the beg of this vid you said you learned from teamtree house but now you have a link for ZTM. Which. Program do you really think is better for a beginner???😢😢😢 any help????

I am 37 .I have started few week ago...I have tried so manny thing so far, but I think that coding is something that makes me feel full...I saw this video and it means a lot...TnX man!

Ever since 4 years ago when a friend/mentor of mine said he learned to code himself and landed a job at a start up company as a web developer/programmer, I was amazed because he graduated from tOSU with a psychology degree. Ever since then, I had an interest in coding and programming. It wasn't until yesterday that I acted on my wants/desires/goals and started really simple JavaScript on Khan Academy. I kid you not, I may just be making shapes, coloring said shapes, making a horribly drawn Totoro, and making things go left and right or increasing size but whenever I finish a successful code with everything perfectly working, it brings so much joy to me like I feel like I am in kindergarten again. And with you, there is definitely that glimmer in your eye where when you talk about your journey, you have such passion with your words. With that said, I wish you well on your future endeavors! I don't know if I will do anything about the coding I will learn because I am currently in pharmacy school... haha

It's been two months since I was inspired by your video. Thank you so much, I was really inspired. Currently I'm now working as Junior Web Developer :) I never expect this. Thanks again.

Sorry if this is personal, but how much do you make as a web dev now??

I wanna be a digital nomad and don't know what area to choose to freelance in. Digital marketing, copywriting, video editing or coding??? I'm interested in coding cos it's about problem solving and finding solutions but people say that it's not something I can learn casually or half heartedly since the technology scene is constantly changing. My main focus is being a travel KZreadr so freelancing in coding would be a side project, just to fund my travels. Do you think a side career in coding is feasible? Or do you think it's something you either dedicate 100% and succeed or fail due to the amount of knowledge required to keep up with the coding industry?

Hello Chris! Thanks for sharing ! I`d like to have a word from you about something: I started college (webdesign) 6 months ago, and now I feel quite confident in photoshop/Illustrator/html and css, but not started yet studying things like javascript and php. Is it normal to not feel enough self-confident to try a internship or even a part-time job at this level? College will finish april 2018 but I REALLY wanna try to get some job before it finishes. Im living in Canada and studying as international student here. Thank u!

the energy you are sharing is soooooooooo positive waw thank you so much for sharing :D

Awesome vid. Just what I needed to watch. Keep it up man.

@RealChrisSean I noticed that you used to recommend Treehouse, but now you are leaning towards ZTM? What's changed your opinion? I'm curious because I'm enrolled in a Treehouse Techdegree and wondering if I've made the right choice.

Treehouse CEO sold out. I have a podcast coming out soon talking about it.

Thank you so much very well explained. This video brightnend my mind a whole lot I use to sit in a library with my iPad yes I said "Ipad"! I'd enjoy the code the problem solving the heart racing moments where I'd see what I created and be extremely happy with myself but I'd always think what if I can't make it or what maybe this is not the right thing for me. It's doubt that got me out of the habit I could've had a job in code months ago . I'm very stupid for doubting myself I'm back to being motivated thanks to you!

Thank you for this video. I feel a lot better about this new journey. I felt stuck but I'm more motivated from your story.

Thanks for the encouragement! This is exactly what I needed. :)
