a video that every aspiring developer should watch❤ "Maybe not now, not tomorrow, but I will make sure I will be a professional developer someday!" I will be back to this comment when I'm a developer.
Regarding bootcamps, the concept is to grasp the basics. Comparing the bootcamp metaphor to the military: there is no job in the military that only requires completing bootcamp. Everyone that completes bootcamp will then go on to learn something specific.
I liked that free code camp listened and made amazing updates. It now feels a lot more real-world environment than just a training environment. I didn't build my skills in graphic design overnight, but I see the same learning process here, and the fact that I recognize that helps tremendously. The only way you truly learn is by receiving a real problem and having to figure out how to make it happen. I learned more that way in graphic design than I ever did in school. This has aided me in my journey and kept me from giving up a couple of times.
I am on a 2-3 year journey to professional development and I TRULY appreciate the inspiration that this episode has provided. Every popular article I've ever seem to come across always says something about "it only took 3 months" and tbh, that made me burn out.
I'm glad to hear that. Yeah I remember seeing Chris Sean's video when I was trying to become a developer. He mentioned that he got a job within 3 months. I know the feeling. No one wants to talk about how it took them years to become a developer and we often get these instagram-like stories of people just sharing the happy paths.
I watched this because I was hoarding sources to learning for so long, and im new to this and I thought to myself, I have to keep it friggin simple and focus on one thing at the time and just start with something and stick to it, so I started with the courses on fcc and I love it. I think it's great so far! Almost complete two courses. I also have a bachelor's in another subject from Uni (haha), but want to become a dev. Thanks guys! f
I’m a month into learning code. free code camp is where I started & it’s been great so far. I feel like I’ve learned so much in such a short time and I’m just scratching the surface. It’s definitely an exciting journey. I’d like to one day get a cool job coding everyday. Best of luck to everyone out there learning in this field.
Another great video. I got another call from a career advisor from Woz U (Wozniak University) today. She was SUPER antagonistic. Spent the first 3-4 minutes trying to discredit the validity of reviews in general. Tried to compare their reviews to that of Disneyland? Implying that anymore criticising Disneyland is lying or something. When I brought up Wozniak not being involved anymore, she got even more triggered and went back to the Disney comparison. Basically said Walt Disney is dead and the company is doing just fine. Please, Don, find people from this program for a panel. I'm so curious about the ACTUAL experience and curriculum.
That sounds like a pretty bad way to respond to your concerns about the feedback you found. I'd be skeptical if they didn't acknowledge, even a single negative review. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi. Thank you for the video. I'm on my coding journey right now. Using freecodecamp as my free classes. I can't afford college or a bootcamp at this time. I'm 42 and I like this coding stuff it's odd how it took me this long to realize this.
FCC is becoming the leader of free programming learning online, the project-based curricullum combined with the gigantic amount of videos in their TH-cam channel made me become a fan of them.
I'm 40 and finally pursuing more what I want to do with my life. I do want to learn web development and such but money is always a factor and time but I am trying. thank you so much for the different free resources that you talked about in this this podcast, it gives me hope 😍 🙏
The Odin Project is really good but it is not a bootcamp :( Could you do an interview with people who went through it?🤗🤗 (we dont get certifications but the material covered is good). Awesome podcast as always!
@@itzelvizcarra5379 Ahh yeah I could see if any of the admins in that server are open to me trying to find guests in the Discord. That's an idea. Thanks.
Hi, really enjoy your videos! it would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the Udacity nanodegrees and how they compare to the various bootcamps.
Thank you. I most likely won't dive into data science anytime soon, if at all. It's possible I might do an episode on machine learning because I'm slightly curious about it, but I'm not sure yet.
Hi Don, I love these videos. I recently stumbled upon your videos and these are so helpful to stay motivated. I've struggled for years to take the leap of faith and dedicate my free time to learning to code. I'm ironically using freeCodecamp as of right now and it's been a great experience so far. I started about 2 weeks ago and normally I would have stopped after the first few days. Videos like these have kept my inspired and motivated to keep pushing through and know that changing my life without college or a bootcamp is totally possible if I just put the effort in. I think when I feel like I need more content, I will probably try out Teamtreehouse.
I tried that. All that did was attract an audience that wasn't interested in long-form content, which lowered click-through rates for my podcast videos. I'm not interested in doing that again anytime soon.
I agree with you about teaching NoSQL databases to beginners. It's not ideal. But from a different perspective. You can create "relations" in MongoDB and structure your data as if it is a bunch of tables with relations and keys. If you take a certain approach, a MongoDB collection is like a table, and you can link a field to another collection. Then it's just about learning an ORM like mongoose, and you just won't be learning SQL. Otherwise, learning MongoDB is not really learning anything except a way to store a blob of JSON into a file.
I get what you're saying. Technically you're right. You can create MongoDB's form of relationships, but to me it's similar to the idea of learning "classes" in JavaScript. You can technically create classes in JavaScript, but if your goal is to get a more fundamental understanding of object-oriented programming, there are better languages to start with. To your point, it's not the worst thing in the world if you have to learn MongoDB first, but it's not ideal.
Great review! 😀
Ay yoo
Great comment!
I love your program! Going through it now!
a video that every aspiring developer should watch❤
"Maybe not now, not tomorrow, but I will make sure I will be a professional developer someday!"
I will be back to this comment when I'm a developer.
Am waiting 👌
Did you get burned out? It's hard to stay focused, understandable if you didnt make it.
More than two years later, and still an absolute gem of a discussion. (I say still, but just barely seeing it.)

FCC does have a relational DB track now, using Postgre. I believe that officially it's considered to be in beta, but it is present now.

someone please just tell me "You can do it" I wish I can become a software developer one day.
You can totally do it
@29:08,
I couldn’t agree more, Don. The fundamentals are the most important when picking up new skills.
BTW: Great episode!

Im about to be 41, how's it going?
@@JoeCnNd I no longer have an interest in coding.

Where is their link
@@catholicmusic. Their website or the TH-cam channel?

You got this.
Don, love this podcast. I remember seeing a comment saying you won’t be interviewing Codesmith. How come?
I probably will.
Loved the points on certifications.
When the cohort is over, I would love to see you interview people who went through 100Devs.
If you'd like to request me to review a program, there's actually a form link in this video's description for that. Go ahead and fill that out.
@@DonTheDeveloper thank you so much!
I’m debating whether go into a bootcamp(nucamp to be specific) or just continue with my self taught journey, someone help
How long have you been on the self taught journey? And how far have you gotten?
your videos have been very helpful. your voice is soothing and your guests are engaging. thank you.
I'm glad to hear that they've been helpful. You're welcome!
The Odin Project is really good but it is not a bootcamp :( Could you do an interview with people who went through it?🤗🤗 (we dont get certifications but the material covered is good). Awesome podcast as always!
Where would I find a pool of people that went through it to reach out to?
@@DonTheDeveloper Maybe the discord community😮 they have a section for success stories in their website.
@@itzelvizcarra5379 Ahh yeah I could see if any of the admins in that server are open to me trying to find guests in the Discord. That's an idea. Thanks.
Don’t know whether or not this has been addressed yet but I would be interested in hearing testimonials from Launch School alum!
I'll keep that one in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi, really enjoy your videos! it would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the Udacity nanodegrees and how they compare to the various bootcamps.
I added it to my list to check out later. Thanks for the suggestion.
That's cool that Zach is from New Hampshire, i wonder if he got the job and what the job market is like there.
Great content, very informative,thanks a lot
That has to be Robin Williams, right?
Hi can you do a review on software guild?
I'll keep this one in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very interesting conversation, nice to listen to, maybe you are planning to do some podcast about data science, machine learning? I'd love to hear it!
Thank you. I most likely won't dive into data science anytime soon, if at all. It's possible I might do an episode on machine learning because I'm slightly curious about it, but I'm not sure yet.
I would like to be a part of a virtual meetup. This video was kind of like that. I felt I was in the conversation.
Great one!
Thanks 🙏

@DonTheDeveloper I also have a degree in Psychology so I now know there is hope for me to become a developer, lol.
Haha there definitely is.
21:28 literally me
´'´3-4 hours a day until you get a job’’🙌🏻
hey man, i really feel your podcasts are intresting although its pretty damn long, think about uploading shorter summaries
I tried that. All that did was attract an audience that wasn't interested in long-form content, which lowered click-through rates for my podcast videos. I'm not interested in doing that again anytime soon.
@@DonTheDeveloper oh man, that sucks, I'm not much of a creator so I bet you know better, anyways great insight love your content

If you believe in God, God bless you.
If not, I wish that all good things you desire come to fruition for you.
Gosh I loved this
lmfao you seemed kinda frustrated in this, don. They kept interrupting you.
Haha, it's bound to happen with open mics. I think it turned out well though.
