Awesome video! especially love the part where you showed how you structured your notes! Lot's of advices out there say: "Make sure you take notes on what you learn", but they don't actually teach people how to take notes effectively. I always end up just writing plain text bullet points and don't even wanna read my notes again.... Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Peter! I'm glad you found the notes section helpful! Tbh taking notes using a mind map format is a new thing for me as well but so far it's pretty good, especially because I'm more of a visual person ☺

Will definitely come back to this video when i decide to crank out some codes!

Hi Magdeline I appreciated yr vdo so much.I'm so confused now, I want to be mobile app developer for android but i don't know what i should start with first.

I want to apply for computer science but I am bad at math and scared that I am not smart enough to actually graduate from cs but somehow you give me motivation to try atleast.

Can u plzz make vid abt c++ i kinda start learning cs and do u have any recommendations

This is quite interesting, and its definitely something I believe in and do for myself as well. I've been intending to pick up Data Structure and Algorithms myself via upskilling for a long time now, and plan to complete courses on JS, databases and C++. However, one thing I am quite conflicted over is the point of taking notes for programming languages. I certainly see it beneficial to remember the basics, as different languages have different ways of doing things, such as defining functions, types of variables, defining variables are quite different between JS and Python. However, anything further down the line, I don't really see myself doing any notes on these things, as the things I do tend to get so complex and the possible things are so diverse I tend to just learn and remember on the go while searching up and building projects. Most of my notes would be for theory heavy things such as Networking, Cloud Computing and Architecture, UI/UX Design. What would be your take on this?

@MagdelineHuang

8 ай бұрын

For me, taking notes on what I'm learning really helps with my concentration and organisation of the knowledge. It can be anything - programming, theory-heavy things like networking, reading a non-tech book, listening to a talk etc. Even if I learn something that's quite complex, making myself write it down in words on my notes helps a lot with my understanding. That being said though, it definitely varies person to person, so if your current way of adhoc committing to memory the things you learn works for you, then by all means continue doing that, and maybe see if you can find a way to strengthen that memory so you don't forget eg maybe trigger words etc. I hope this helps and all the best! 😊

@@MagdelineHuang Thanks for the insights! Just another question though, do you ever return to re-read all the notes you have made frequently, or do you only read the notes you will need when the occasion arises?

@MagdelineHuang

@@xiaoxin1088 No worries! I only read the notes when the occasion arises, but it does happen relatively frequently. Also, because my notes are quite detailed, another thing that helps is condensing them into a blogpost which I sometimes do. This is an example magdelinehuang.com/posts/010-js-arrays/

What are your thoughts on CodeCademy vs. Udemy? Is one better than the other for structured learning for coding?

@MagdelineHuang

3 ай бұрын

In my opinion, I get more value out of Udemy. This is becauase Udemy has a huge range of courses you can choose from, and most are extremely detailed and comprehensive. They deep dive into topics. My experience with CodeCademy however is that it only touches on the surface of the programming languages, so it's a gentler introduction for beginners. In terms of structure, I think they are both pretty good, but it's just that I find that Udemy is better for depth of information. I hope this helps!

Hey Magdeline!! My internships are starting and I don't have a proper laptop for programming/coding and for doing projects. So, I was wondering if you can recommend me some good laptops within budget since I'm a student and I can't afford high end laptops. Or... this is not preferbly a choice but, do you think buying a second hand is good or not? Cause I have just two years left for my engineering to finish and I can buy a more high end ones when I work. Would really love your gudience :)

Hello! I talked about laptops here in this video actually kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3aByJSoYrC8dMo.htmlsi=eiTUfo8kIPCun6Bx&t=490! I think whatever laptop is within your budget is a good laptop. Buying second hand laptops could also be a good option since as you mentioned, you can buy more high end ones when you work! I found this list of laptop options for students pcmecca.com/best-budget-laptops-for-programming/. I hope this helps!

Great video. I'm learning python and am planning on trying to get into game development. I'm sure that I'll need to learn a new language for that but what I'm not understanding is how do i know when im ready to move to a new language??? I've been scouring the internet for the answer to this question with no explanations. Please help!

@MagdelineHuang

8 ай бұрын

Hello! In my opinion, you will never be able to fully learn everything about a language. Eg for JavaScript, they update their language every couple of years by adding new things. So to answer your question, if you feel like you need to learn a new language but you're not quite ready, just do it anyway! The key is to be comfortable with continuous learning and referencing. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your response! I was told that 20% of the language will handle 80% of your projects, and 80% of the language will handle 20% of your projects. Do you think you would agree with that? Having a solid roadmap on when/if i should change languages would be nice. Also, how do you know when you're ready to apply for a python programming job??? So many questions. Any advice is extremely appreciated!

@MagdelineHuang

@@TheMotorcycleBoss I think there is some truth to the saying that 20% of a language will handle most of a project. There are just some concepts that are used a lot more frequently than others. It doesn't mean to say that the rest are not as important though so you should still know when to use them when you need to. In terms of learning roadmaps, this is a great resource roadmap.sh/. It covers a variety of paths and technologies and gives good pointers as to what to learn next. As for when to know whether you're ready to apply for a job, it really depends! That being said, if you're still a beginner and just want to test out the waters, it doesn't hurt to apply to internships / junior roles even if you don't feel ready yet. You'll end up doing lots of learning on the job and gain valuable industry experience. I hope this helps!
