- Students around the world are told they must ‘Learn to Code!’ This certainly
sounds great, but why should you learn to code? Will it really help you accomplish
your personal goals or land your dream job? We’ll see how learning to code is only a
part of joining the digital revolution, but we’ll go further to explore how you can
harness technology to your unique way of impacting the world. Learn how you can
shape the future by not just learning to code, but learning to create.
Justin Richards is the Founder/CEO of Youth Digital that has taught over 40,000 students how to create with technology. Justin leads a team of 40 passionate people in delivering amazing technology courses for students in over 100 countries. Students as young as age 8 learn how to create everything from apps to mods to fashion collections.
Prior to starting Youth Digital at age 22, he taught technology courses to students in downtown St. Louis. Justin grew up helping his family start computer schools in Romanian orphanages and taught himself to develop and design as a hobby, before turning that passion into Youth Digital. In the end, Youth Digital is a place that Justin would have loved as a child.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
My advice to new coders. I am a software developer in the development field for the last 10 years. And forget about jumping into learning a new framework or new technology. Focus on the core raw concepts of code itself. Understand them deep. For e.g., I would highly recommend any new coder to either take up javascript or python as their first coding language. These 2 are highly relevant in today's commercial space. Learn the basics thoroughly, deeply. It will take you close to a year or self study and practise to get them at your finger tips. Then practise those concepts. And make mistakes. its ok. make them at the start. Learn from the error and learn what concept you got it wrong. Over time, develop the habit of reading code and having the skillset to understand what others have written, especially good code. Writing code is a long journey and not something that can be done in 3 months or so people. Hit me up if you want to know more tips as I will be happy to share with you folks. happy coding!
I took c++ for my base instead of python and java, am I on the right path according to you? I am trying to learn ds algo but I can't find a good resource to learn ds algo with c++ . I am in my third year and I really want to create my future as a good software engineer.
@@ananyathakur8229 Hi, congrats on choosing to become a software engineer. Regarding your question on c++, yes you are definitely in the right path. Let me explain. In a real world project, you might be a javascript developer but you might be also required to know a little kotlin, java or go depending on what role you are given. Different languages differ in their syntaxes and also the way they are written (i.e the design principles behind the language itself). End of the day, all languages have the same concepts, if else conditions or loops, variables , functions etc. c++ is a lower level language. by learning them your understanding of java or python should be better. for algo resources, you can check out leetcode or hackerrank. leetcode is my personal favourite as it has sample interview questions from companies such as amazon or microsoft
How can i contact you Sir.? Please provide your social accounts.
I would love a mentor sir!
How would i get to contact you Mr?

Failure teaches more than what success could ever. That's awesome.
great my friend.. this is true from my own experience
Failure only teached me that the world is so cruel, and that I should stop trying
FedJimSmith Why stop?
Abhilash S that's what every loser in life I know would say
don't watch about 8 mins of it and close. please do not waster your time to watch this video. it teaches you nothing about anything at all. guess says go google it. Im warning you. don't waste your time. This video is 12 mins long. i rather you go learn how to do coding/programmingfor 12 mins, at least you will get 12 mins of coding knowledge out of it
Any coders/app developers here ?

Ohhh yah
Anyone code ?
magic is not about doing what is impossible, magic is about doing what is perceived to be impossible
magic is just fancy tricks my friend
Hell yeah xD
fakher Habib hey bro hmu ask you something
"Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality."
-Richter
pok'emcop yep really true
For hundreds of years, generations of creators have been shattering the perception of human limitation.
Wow! wow! wow! Love those words.
I love how he describes technology as 'magic'. It really is a beautiful way to describe what most of America takes for granted.
I feel good when people appreciate the technology instead of taking things for granted. We truly live in age of miracles!
"You will learn more from failure than success will ever teach you." Facts.
DUDE! YOU JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA FOR MY FUTURE! I am a Computer Science student and I just discovered myself. Now I know what would be my goal in life. I'll be back a few years from now when I became successful and really hope that It might boom! Thank you so much!
Hey , then what are you doing now
Hello?
Hello I believe in you bro 💯
Good luck
So what happened?
awesome message, I feel like too many coders get stuck in the technical side of things and forget to be imaginative at times
As both a creatively and technologically oriented person, I thought this talk was inspiring, and good for the clearing of blocks.
I liked this talk. I think it is a little bit directed to children rather than adults, but the lesson works for both.
children can be far wiser than adults
great
Osama Adel we need to change the definition of maturity. for most people, it means loss of excitement and constant curiosity. a society, that promotes maturity, is bad. it kills creativity, which is the only key to innovation.
@@timcook3410 definitely, society should have to make a change
Child is the father of man lol
“You will learn things through failing, that success will never teach you”. So true! I’m 30 and teaching my self how to code right now and I have never been into so many road blocks in my life. But as I progress and learn how to go forward, I better understand the “magic” that is going on… And it’s exciting! Don’t quit guys, we got this!
The biggest risk of life is never taking a risk at all is really a very thrilling line one could really learn from it
best line ever said in this session
Never believe random quotes on Internet - Ab Lincoln
one of the best tedx talks i've ever listened to.
This is one of my favorites Tedx Talks ever
So thankful to be able to listen this.
Let's CREATE.
beauty in his words...💗
Wow he caught me off guard. He's a great presenter.
One of the best TED talk I've ever seen!!
Coding is magic
Voice of this guy is so soothing. Especially when headphones worn. 🎧
Very good and inspiring talk! Good motivation!
One of my favorite speakers. Wow that was good.
Thank you Justin Richards you helped me get my confidence back.
this dude so talented in speaking!!
best talk ever!!!
lets create to create the future
I've started to think this way the last week... just found this video guess my thinking is taking me in the right direction
This is one of the best talk that I've watched recently. If want to create something you have to learn.
Everything work like magic. We create because we try to change the world of what we create and what the world feel about it. To change is adopt a new technology and strategy to make a better world and help other developer to growth and present them the solution. This is a great talk about creating a value to the community. :)
Thought I needed to say this and get it out of my system... Ive been going to the university for about a year now, and have been struggling with programming the entire year. I found out that i really enjoy photography, and it got me even more lost... I know people say to go after what you love, but the truth is that I love both... I need to get my head in the game.. I WANT TO BECOME A PROGRAMER and a good one, it's in my head now! I hope it's not too late for me.. I am still only 19 years old...
Great presentation. "Share your work with the world"
great message and video. Thanks!
Learning that stuff is so difficult but because of that you are more motivated to do it. One day I was so mad because the previous day I couldn’t finish a program and I was so angry that I said to myself : now you’re gonna take you’re freaking computer and you’re gonna solve the problem. I did it and now my game was working perfectly, but I already knew that the next day I was going to deal with another problem and I’ would get mad again, but despite that I knew that in two days I would know how to solve the problem and that it was going to be like this forever and that’s what does not give me up. Coding it’s not just a challenge in the “code” it teaches you that you’ll always deal with problems, in life, relationships etc. but only if you keep moving forward you’ll get everything you started for. This goes to all the people that never give up, that are always in search for new adventures and opportunities. To those that don’t know what to do with their life, to procrastinators, to creators and thinkers that help the world moving forward. Thank y’all to be what others did not want you to be.
The biggest risk is not taking any risk at all.
Well said.
I HAD TO LEARN! That's what I took away from this, it's very inspiring! So now I HAVE TO LEARN!
I just started coding and this was inspiring.
Very inspiring. It will definitely affect the beginners' mood...
the most inspiring speech . thanks for that speech
This video have changed my Mindset... Thank you sir.
U can find magic in anything.. But u have to work for it.....♥️
This was the best ted lecture i've seen by far. The whole lecture was almost like a poetry.
Why do programmers wear glasses?
Because they can't see c#
That joke is about Java developer
buba chelidze no c# you say it like C Sharp
pj bro
lilboss2013 I m an exception!
Probably growing up straining eyes on a screen tbh
Inspiring me to create. Creation is freedom.
Super Superb!! Super Superb!! Super Superb!!
Thanks for sharing!
One of the best talk.
It is one of the best video in my life. I get so much inspiration to watch this video.
thank you for such great words ....
he was ahead of the game with online classes
A very helpful and meaningful talk. Loved it.
I really needed to listen to someone with your point of view
One of the best Ted talks out there. The creation mindset. Magic is.. -- > 10:26
You are a really good presenter, i felt something when i finished the video.
motivated.
best video ever for understanding code
One of the best TEDx talks I've listened to. Great message!
People watching during quarantine at 1:30 . We don't want to go to China 😂
ok --___--
😂😂😂
Hahahaha
One of best motivational speech!
He speaks public really well!
Great speech. Nothing new but a good reminder of what is possible and the roadblocks to expect.
"You live in a world of magic, you can find out anything instantly." this really stuck with me. This is exactly what I try to explain to people who have the idea of thinking they want to do something but not knowing where to start. You can do ANYTHING you've EVER wanted with a plethora of FREE resources with this little thing called Google. You can find sheet music to any song, you can find entire documentation on any programming language ever created, you can find free 3D models for almost anything you want to 3D print, you can find free courses from top colleges like Stanford and Harvard on their website's. The only thing stopping you is yourself. You have every opportunity in the world handed right to you. You live in a world of magic, and yet this is the world we live in. I'm now teaching myself PHP and MySQL to build dynamic websites and I'm learning more and more everyday. Just today I learned how to upload my code to GitHub. Tomorrow I'll learn how to do something else, and then something after that.
He is so effortlessly convincing
This guy is amazing ! this lecture really touched my soul..
"Your are not lost you are just early in the process" Garyvee 🖤🖤
Gayvee?
Mindblowing speech.....awnsum innovation should be their in our life and make a way for success path in our life ....great going

that the first time that i watched tedx, Amazing speech really i love his accent in english is very simple!!
man this is pure gold
Very motivational. Keep it up man.
Thanks Justin for a really wonderful inspiring message, it really helps in all aspects of life, no matter what stream you're in, programming is fun!!😃
Thank you for sharing. I am magic.
Great talk and thank you 🙏.
He sparked excitement in my brain
Excellent speaker!
...and sweet.
I like this video,especially like his idea:we just need to know what to create ,and the learn to create, and we can create what we want to create.I believe in my ability to learn,I also learned to create app three years ago, i created apps.it is magic for me.i am a magican.
one of the best tedx video I have ever watch
" Learn to create , because those who create are those who create the future. "
Thanks for sharing. Inspiring.
it's sooooo good to learn thanks ted to make this
Magic is the reality which was perceived to be impossible 🥰...
Great words..
I get motivated by this, Thanks alot💓
Awsome speech insisting on creating and deciding 3 months plan :)
So inspirational
Underrated talk.
the only tedx talk that i actually like.
I liked this video so much that I download it to watch any time for motivation. I'm gonna make my game no matter what, just I didn't have Apple laptop right now but I will do something
"Magic is doing what is percieved to be impossible" Damn, that was so deep I had to dig myself out!
Ro shut up
This was honestly beautiful.
I'm sure this dude's mouth was also wide open with excitement when Pixar came at him with the new 'D'.
PS: He sounds like Jay Norris from GTA5 who gets his head blown off when answering a call on his iFruit.
Kenny Tee lol that gta refrence dead on😂😂💀
His first few words sums up the whole thing.
one of the best talks
"live a life that's worth it"
The one thing rich, successful, and famous people have in common is they all created something great that they loved doing for other people.
Really? So the rich and successful aren't the ones who own capital and can use it to extract profits from other peoples labour? It's the nameless inventors and engineers who are rich and successful... I must've forgot that we live in the magical world now.
people often don't know what they want, helping them finding the way thats magic imop
grtz
Steve jobs didn't create apple btw. He just marketed a product really well
Thanks for motivation!
such a great inspiring message ^^
This was an Amazing Talk! I love the terms he uses to describe the passion that burns inside every one of us creators out there. If you doubt what he said in this speech or even remotely disagree, you will go no where in life.
Thank you for bringing the whole new D ..........dimension.
fantastic....very inspiring
Thank you soo much it will help a lot.
