I've gotten feedback that I either talk too fast and also, I want to make my videos more non-English speaking friendly, so I've added captions. I hope they help and aren't disruptive. The cloud continues to create abstractions, code is the first way to get hands on with those abstractions.

As someone with ADHD, I appreciate you not talking slowly. Nothing makes my brain wander faster than somebody moving too slow and not getting to the point. 😂

Your speed is good. It may be too fast for those that are multitasking. For KZreadrs that speak slow I usually speed it up by either changing the speed or by touching the screen on my phone. Your videos are quality! Don’t change who you are.

Hate you for uploading this whilst actively avoiding my coding project 😂 good message!

Coding is necessary. Knowing code gives you the fundamental understanding of everything else.

I agree, any skill you have over your “competition” will keep you on the forefront and help you stand out to employers.

Love this video so much! Same thing applies for security engineering.

You are 100% on point with this. Subscribed.

Dang.. the quality of the cam and mic! Great stuff as always Gwyen!

Looking forward to your vid dropping next week. Captions are always good for a lot of reasons. You ain’t bad at all, I can clearly hear and understand you

Hey what's up GPS! Thanks a lot for the motivation this morning! You always have a great way of lighting a fire under us when it comes to gaining skills in the cloud! I appreciate all that you do for us and please continue to be a strong voice and advocate for all things cloud! Be well, be safe and Cheers!!!

Great video GPS! 🎉😊

GPS droping the knowledge by been there and done and still doing it still coding keep up the good work. I start learning Python and I have no programmingv/coding experince but it is really fun to learn

As a CS student it's a great advice and thoughtful. Thank you!!! GPS

Thanks for sharing.!

Thank you. you are an awesome mentor

Your a boss. Thank you for keepin it real :)

I can't avoid code, I'm a software developer 😂

Thank you GPS, I just finished a JavaScript class and I am about to read a book on the fundamentals. I've also done a bit of HTML and CSS although I plan to transition into DevOps fully. Thank you for this video, it came in at the right time.

Baba, Weldon o, I'm looking to transit into cloud computing here, although I'm based in Kwara not like you that'll perhaps be living in a big city like Lagos, I'll be needing all the help that I can get

BIG FACTS

Thanks for keeping it post, GPS (=

Hey! Thanks for all the videos you’ve been sharing, really appreciate the honesty you bring. Just a question - when time is limited for self-learning, would you suggest focusing on PoSh or dotnet/python/something else for developing tools etc? Thanks ☺️

You give really solid, straightforward advice without all the blah blah blah garbage. Gracious Thanks!

GPS gonna repeat this until you understand.

I love your KZread channel. Would you recommend any courses for beginners? I'm currently studying for Azure AZ-900, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

I started my first sys admin job 6 months ago working with Azure Cloud and I can already see the importance of programming skills, which happens to be a huge knowledge gap among my team. Personally, I’m interested in learning Python as my first foundation programing language, but it’s easy to make good arguments for others ( e.g., Dot-Net, KQL, JavaScript, etc.). I’d like to hear from anyone on this chat what your choice will be and your reasons for it.

Quick question: What language is best for Azure Cloud?

I have the same aspirated and goal set in my mind to complete and wanted to ask you with your experience is cloud computing commonly outsourced overseas?

Thanks for sharing. I have been working as a network admin for about 6 years but really want to move to cloud. I would love to maybe work towards a job as azure developer and was thinking of learning python and then pursuing maybe az-204 maybe. Would python be cool or should I learn .NET for Azure Developer path?

I am waiting for the prioject ;)

When you said that we talk to servers through code, SDK’s. What is SDK’s, and how they are used? Thank you

Basically, I can't ignore programming anymore haha

Pls, what's the minimum computer specifications for cloud computing, I'm a lecturer in mechanical engineering and I'm currently looking to transit into iT and cloud computing happened to be my preferred course to learn

I know some scripting and the basics of programming but I would not call myself a developer. Once we get to OOP, Unit Tests and DA I have no idea. IMO coding is kinda all in or not because to be good at it you can't just fuss about. You have to go all in. Software Engineering is just a HUGE subject to dive into and self learning it is NOT easy.

I am interested with application support engineer

I got my first Job as an Infraestructure admin on Azure. Is it better to learn Python over C# to evolve into a cloud architect or DevOps Engineer (in Azure world)?

Which programming language do you use?

It is inevitable. Coding is essential. I am currently studying CS50 Introduction to Python for this very reason.

The bad thing is that it used to that people who couldn't code went into IT and could do well. A little bit of shell scripting would be good enough. If we are all expected to write server side software then you can expect a lot of IT people to be locked out of the industry. Learning to develop *good* software is a tedious and expensive process. Then again this is the consequence of unemployed software engineers getting into IT. Shops better expect to compensate those folks though cause I can't see these Developer/Sysadmins working for 60k lol.

I thought the same when i started tbh; but the further i moved in, the more im starting to love coding; cause im finally learning to understand it! Now i want to just continuously develop and implement, build stuff, and simultaneously people find us valuable and top dollar; *Insert villain laugh. This cant be real, I want to learn everything, all of it, gimme it all, all the languages, all their functions, how to combine them, back end, front end, everything. I have the google cyber cert Finishing my Sec+ now Learnt the basics of Python, SQL & Linux. Wanted frontend and to learn to build apps; so im doing the meta frontend developer (Html, css, javascript, react etc) Also want to CCSK and OSCP up. (IaC & Bug writing) I cant wait to IaC! I'm almost 30, been dabblin for years but took it seriously this last year. Its changed my life; I need to get a first entry level job soon, but unsure what to look for. SoC or development side; Cloud engineering and security is most attractive; and I want to jump to quantum before its even a thing, get ahead. UK kinda sucks for breaking into the market. I wanna learn to spin up and down a building of architecture/ security/ auditorial etc. Learning is a passion for me, so this seems ridiculously too good to be true; Im only sad I can't split myself into 2 or 3 and read multiple books at the same time! Using all this knowledge for ourselves later its the most overpowered thing out of all this haha

Want to learn cloud from just sales and cust service roles... Started learning gitpod and environments. Not sure why started there. Crip crip

I agree & disagree at the same time. I say that because there is Network Engineering in the Cloud.
