Regarding AWS and prior experience, if you are not "computer-savvy" or do not have a basic to intermediate understanding of servers or computer networking, etc. then shoot to pass the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam first (alongside Python of course). This certification is largely fundamentals of cloud computing and will help a lot as a prerequisite to an associate level cert.

Hello thanks for the idea, can I ask if going the aws plus python way is viable for entry level? There does not seem many junior, no prior experience and education jobs in DevOps or am I wrong? Thanks and this is a great idea btw to differentiate from front end path.

Brother thanks for this video, I recently became googly-eyed by taking a GUI course and was headed towards the over-saturated web developer route. After hearing your explanation, I'm putting in the work to hopefully reach a cloud engineer position in the future. I graduate this fall with a BSCS, perfect timing to complete my AWS and strengthen my python skills by then. Thank you for this video!

Really good video! I like the way you add the important present technologies Python and Cloud. I've been developing software for 10 years and you're right, the Cloud, Data, and Python have been increasing in value lately. Regards!

Travis, this video is very helpful to me. I received ultimate value with your clear cut instructions. I am very interested in tech however, never knew where to start until you blessed me with this video. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work you do!

Thank you for your advice. I am 30 years old and I realize that I need a career change. Thank you for making me feel like it's not too late to start.

I'm so glad I found this video. Was feeling so overwhelmed with what to do but have a better idea of how to move forward now. Thanks.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I have to choose from different bootcamp courses. Java, Full-stack web developer, Android developer, and Data specialist (which is all about Python). I think I will go for the Data Specialist course. Since there are many people who reccomend this path. Thank you Travis!!

This is so motivating! Right now I’m working as a scientist and have been contemplating changing careers to tech for a few years now. But have always put it off because I believed I couldn’t do it or it was too late. Your story is so inspiring and has given me the push I needed to start!

thanks so much Travis. What you recommend, although biased by your love for devops, I think is gold. At the end of the day I want to do something in coding that puts in me in demand and commands a good paycheck. And on the side I will work on my own entrepreneurial pursuits. So many other people on YT suggest very standard routes to transitioning into coding without thinking about the competition and opportunities. Again, thank you!

I'm really grateful I stumbled on this video. I've been thinking about going into software engineering for about a year now. I decided a month ago that I would go into this career path. But I had absolutely no idea how to go about it. This video has been very helpful. Thanks so much, Travis.

Wow this info is gold. I started learning python from Angela 2 months ago and just came across your channel today. Thank you so much for the advise Travis 🙏

Just found your channel today and I'm impressed, you've got a subscriber. I've been learning the first route you described (html/css/javascript) for about 4 months and have been struggling to keep interest/enjoy it. So recently I've been reading about and playing with python a bit on the side and have been having a lot of fun. A friend of mine works for IBM as a cloud engineer and really enjoys his work. This second path you described might just be a better fit for me.

Kinda true man, I've spent about 2 years learning web development after dropping from college. But I've still not landed a single job and I also tried Upwork and other freelancing sites, but of no use. I feel like I've wasted my precious 2 years on learning web dev, the market has got really saturated, and every new guy going for it. And also It's really hard to keep up with all those new frameworks and technologies. I'm wondering why I didn't go for this Aws certification earlier, the certificate has got some weight to it. And the cloud market isn't as saturated as other IT markets.

Hey, interesting video! I'm 31 years old and took a little over a decade to finally finish college. I am a CNC Machinist and I make decent money but I'm coming to realize my calling isn't where I thought it was and I should pursue my original passion which is anything related to computers. I took CS in school and learned some Java. I've always messed with websites and little coding projects, I finally decided I'm going to give it a go. Progress will be slower since I work 45+ hours a week, but I'll get there. I've been torn between something Data Related (data analytics), web dev (front end, eventually working to full-stack), or Python. Your approach here seems interesting and makes sense intrinsically to me in a way. I can study python and use it for personal projects and pair it with AWS for a possible career move. Subbed

I've been teaching for 13 years and am ready for a new challenge. The past 4 years, I learned Arduino, Scratch, and then Python. I started 100 days of code from Unity and really love learning the language! I don't see myself becoming a data scientist, so this path sounds interesting! Thanks for the video

In other words, you are completely useless as both a teacher (I smell burnout and disenchantment with dealing with stupid students) and as a software engineer (you have zero relevant experience). Anybody who can program can learn Python in a few hours, so why in the world do you think that knowing basic Python is a valuable skill? It's not even a language that a large project should use. Python is a prototyping language. You can solve in-house engineering tasks with it (like test benches) because it's the better scripting language and that's it. Python is NEVER useful for production code and it's NEVER good for a user app (there is not even an easy way to distribute it to users, if you haven't noticed, unless you ship it in a giant container that contains the complete runtime system).

You dont learn anything from Bootcamps .Its a a recruiter center,costs 10k .If youre desperate for work ,need references than pay 10k for a Bootcamp. Everything is online and its free to learn. Bootcamps are just for profit.

Interesting path. I’d be concerned about devops getting automated out. We have so many backend as a service tools these days like firebase. IMO the user experience is the most bulletproof. Also devops is not very startuppy. So it’s a different path than I’ve done but I do find it interesting as a path.

Travis, what is your take for becoming a web developer where you have JavaScript on the front end and Python for the backend? Figured this could be a good mix incase in the near future you wanted to pivot to DevOps AWS. Since you'll already know Python, you'll be at an advantage. I guess you would need to focus on the essentials which are the certifications which you mentioned for AWS. Would appreciate any thoughts on this topic, thank you.

The thoughts were always the same: "I've spent so much time and effort here, I can't just drop everything and start something else time-consuming from scratch that will cost me even more time, I need a job, and preferably one that doesn't make me unhappy." then I discovered that I don't need to go to college to qualify as a dev, and that was perfect for me. I've always loved computers and all kinds of technology, I have all the essential logical reasoning base, and the best: being self-taught has always been the best way of studying for me. I finally feel excited about something after years! I will be starting my studies soon and your video was of great help, thank you!
