Just realized I didn't link those other videos... give me a sec. EDIT: Okay, added those to the description. Not all of these projects have their own video, or even a public repo lol. But for those that do, well there they are.
Amazing video, thank you. I was recently hired as a college professor teaching special topics in CS and I want to give a fun and useful project to my students next semester where they can implement what they'll learn (SDLC, scrum events, design patterns, software architecture, testing, CI/CD, and cloud computing) and I loved the last idea about doing something with OpenAI, so thank you for this video!
Something I think I could have benefitted from in my CS courses was being exposed to more code and it being explained. Idk what level you're teaching at but it'll likely be beneficial for you to whip something up in class and explain why you are typing up what you are and what it does. Edit: also asking for student input on what you should do next would be very beneficial and have them explain why they suggest that. It'll help them with explaining their thought process as well
personally, most of my teachers were too boring and too "technical" (or rather academic) when studying computer engineering at college. a lot of the stuff I know today, is from bashing my head on my own (learning how to use git, for example, which I am still not even terribly good at) and not because they were such great educators or passed knowledge on that well. One teacher really stuck to me, and he came up with small projects to teach concepts in class - and he would not come with a DONE project - he would start the projects with us in class and kept refining them until they were "ready" - sometimes even helping us out setting up our development environment when some library wouldn't play nice or something refused to work. and he was very open to contact outside class hours (being open to answer questions and helping out - even for other subjects or projects students were working on).
When I was learning to code, like taking a course of some kind, I've always been looking forward to the project tasks. The ones that give "loose instructions" and really let me plan out and implement my own ideas. The ones with a predefined result are easy and comforting in the learning sense - something that lets you figure out an algorithm or a data structure - but that really only gets you so far, just like you mention.
Learning this stuff is just so hard these days. I feel like only by only understanding lower level programming and how computers work on a more fundemental level, did i finally start to understand how programming works at a higher level. Even ChatGPT is basically useless outside of the hands of someone who knows what theyre doing.
@@will201084 still doesnt work, that why people with CS degrees are preferred more than people that dont have them.The first year is chock full of fundamentals
@Random-qi3vv yes for now. But ChatGPT is good for starting a project and getting better guidance in a visual way to your specific needs. It enhances learning imo.
Omg, i just finished my first year. Its intense, alot of repetition and gradual increase in knowledge, first its whats a cpu, PCIe, ALU blah blah, then onto the stack, then again back to the hardware, then onto tcp/osi, then back to the stack, then onto networking, then networking again. A whole semester on CLI training, one for Unix/Linux, one for Windows scripting and the like. Finally in Nov i got my first real programming class thats not all about scripting teaching Python and Web Dev. Its a bitch, but had i not taken those classes first id be in absolute hell. I understand everything they say, its just getting the semantics down for me right now. I dont see how a coding bootcamp would work for anyone, unless theyve already known this stuff prior.@@Random-qi3vv
My 2 cents: Building unrelated with business and job focus stuff is fine if you're a fresh graduate or a CS student, and your goal is to get hired by a company willing to invest you into training. However, self-taught developers and generally people who're willing to go for a small company or a startup company should instead research their job market, select a stack and build stuff that will demonstrate to the manager or technical lead "hey, I'm business ready over here and I'm waiting for you". Cool ideas though, but not stuff I'd add cause I'm one of those self-taughts.
Working at a startup is usually much more difficult to get into because you have to wear many hats. And, you logic is not to learn on small personal project so you can get a job, but get a job so you can learn on small business projects. How do you learn on the small business projects if you cant get hired to begin with? The advice in this video is spot on. Find something - anything - that you find interesting that has problems to solve. Then solve them. Games fit well.
I just built a CRM for my own business and I learnt a lot . Building projects either from researching or following a tutorial will teach you more and hone your knowledge more than just reading
the most important project is having projects. remember that quote, everyone fighting in the comments saying X or Y is better than Z. all of the stuff shown here will teach you "nitty gritty" stuff on programming (from beginner topics to more advanced ones), but what sets you apart when job hunting is having projects that will go directly in favor of the job you're applying to - for example, applying for backend development, have projects showcasing your skills (a simple CRUD API, and have something consume that, or whatever) - in whichever language you prefer, there's no harm in tying yourself to a "easier" language because the core vernacular will be the same for most, if not all.
A note on the GPT idea is that ideally you should be very focused in what you want from it. Or even look into other kinds of specialised NLP! Being able to encapsulate that in a module will be excellent for changing course in future if competitor products or new NLP models come by which serve that specific use case better.

These are reasonable projects suggestions, but I wouldn't say they will set you apart when applying for jobs and such. If you want to set yourself apart when applying for jobs as an entry-level applicant, I would say getting your hands dirty with networking protocols (and lower-level concepts for that matter), building your own libraries that allow other developers to create applications (like a library to build chatbots), going above and beyond in terms of learning technologies such as building microservices with gRPC for synchronous communication or some message broker for asynchronous communication. For example, I am currently building a deployment platform to showcase to employers as a CS student and software intern applicant, with a Svelte frontend, an Actix backend, multiple services hooked up to the backend via gRPC and Redis as a message broker where asynchronous communication is better-suited, such as a builder service, where each builder 'worker' node consumes a build task whenever it is idle. Challenge yourself, see what is possible for you! 😀
Nah. I disagree. If you want to set yourself apart, no amount of low level concepts will help you, ever, even slightly. Especially if you are searching for a first job, the better advice is to learn practical skills that you will use on your job immediately first and foremost. Then learn all the surrounding stuff and go from there. Also having a single job "target" is best, so it's better to decide first if you want frontend, backend, fullstack, systems programming or what. I wouldn't recommend fullstack as a first job since it will pay the same, have 2x the work(really) and it's not as "fun" as it seems. Later down the line, no problem though. What will set you apart is a deep knowledge about a certain area of expertise. Many people can shuffle a bunch of technologies, but they don't have a deep understanding of any of them, and I can say the same about you. Sorry to disappoint you, but most employers won't really even look at your project in Svelte, Actix, gRPC and so on. They are good technologies, but you are searching for a job so you should show that you are good at something like React or Vue, since sadly the person that will review your code probably(with high probability) will not know rust or svelte so you can't be rated properly in most cases. Sorry for the "conventional take" but that is just the reality. 1 year ago when I was searching for a job I was like you and was fullstacking with different technologies, languages and so on, having big grasp. But in the end what helped me the most was just to specialize a little bit more and I got the job very quickly then. That is an advice from a person who started from zero with no degree and got the Middle position job in 5 months. After you get your first job, of course, learn all the CS stuff, underlying low level concepts and different topics. But when you are in the middle of searching for a job, probably better time investment is to not bother.
Of course, I agree with much of this, and I meant to say that one should definitely learn React, Vue, etc first. But the purpose of this videos is about setting yourself apart with projects, and of the projects listed, none of them will set you apart as a developer. Necessarily, to learn low-level concepts or even further technologies like I mentioned, you have to have a strong grasp of the more fundamental hoops. Also to say "no amount of low level concepts will help you, ever, even slightly" is just a completely poor take in general and you will not be a successful engineer with this mindset of constantly relying on libraries without understanding them, not pushing yourself, etc. Not just that, but this take is poor for further reasons as consider 2 candidates with the same fundamental practical knowledge, however 1 of the candidates has also demonstrated in a project that they know how these things work internally and can build them themself, this is much more impressive. I also have a slight feeling a developer who demonstrates skills in things like Rust, Svelte, etc clearly shows an inherent passion for programming from a hiring manager perspective (because they are taking their time to learn things, although as you say, may not directly be applicable to the job market, but this emphasises the passion moreso), in addition to familiarity with industry standard frameworks like React. Don't get me wrong, I would in any other situation recommend learning React, JavaScript, REST APIs, SQL databases, etc, but you have to consider the title of the video more specifically, which you gloss over. It does not give a good representation of how you would set yourself apart as a developer, everybody does projects like these. @@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5
@@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5 hey, how long did it take you to get a job in tech with no degree? did you have relevant experience? esp with the brutal job market now.
@@nark4837 First, I am not talking about the video but generally. Second, you are delusional and let me explain why. 1. My take about "no amount of low level concepts will help you" is about getting your FIRST job. If there was an employer who had to choose between a person who has a lot of practical skills and built a couple of practical real world projects vs a person who studied C for a Frontend Developer role, having little to no practical knowledge(or, highly BELOW someone who specialized), the choice is clear. Same is with you learning Rust, writing fullstack, Svelte and so on. An employer will always value someone who specializes more. So you need to be at least at the same level as someone who specializes. Connects to the next point, 2. If you want to be fullstack, it is practically impossible to be better than a specialized person, at all skill levels. So what you are getting yourself into, especially as a first job, is some unstable startup with low salary and high work hours/workload or a company with a team of
@@AvidL1623 I basically went from zero to getting a job in 5 months, as I said. It was around January this year. Experience? I built a couple of real world projects, but not commercially. I did some chaotic learning in that time, had wide grasp(kind of like the op here), but I actually specialized in frontend so I got the job without much problem skill-wise (took me like a month to find it though). IDK about (global) job market because my country is kind of isolated from it. I live in Europe, and even though my country has free higher education, I could still find the job (after hundreds of rejects, having only 3 interviews total, but still). Maybe luck since I am now called a "senior" developer, but it's more like "middle" internationally, and there is a catch... I maintain(structure/architect, do all the decisions) a project(frontend) alone. Well I'll make it work, pretty interesting situation to be in, if you ask.
Absolutely I do agree with you did many tutorials hell, I hate it now, I'm doing my own things I got silly things on github my first tutorial was in 2016, I didn't study CS at all, but I can tell I studied many books like the topics in CS I can say I'm software developer, but I need to be recognized for it, I'm looking for job now, I never did but at least I have 70 projects, included tutorials hell and my own, so I don't feel so proud because some area tutorials, I wanted to erase it but well I can't do it I've just left it there,, you gave me inspiration my friend thank you for this video, I prefer now just to read the whole books in programing.
For me - A programming language since It's the tool that we use to tell computer what to do. Also teach me a lot about parsing things which is useful in other fields where you have to retrieve data by yourself - An emulator, teach me a lot how computer actually works (even the simplest one like chip8) and how to read documentation (weird docs of CPUs) - C based HTTP server with its parser - Game from scratch teach me how graphics in computer is done I would like to say an operating system but it's a very complex one and I've never made one.
Thanks for uploading this! I really liked the mini game projects you showed at the beginning. Could you put them behind a pay wall? I'm trying to learn web dev and SaaS.

I had an idea to make a python webscraping project for the stock market but uuh I need to learn python first 💀 started cs50p and finished the first week 😤
After years of experience in IT, I've moved over to the security realm. Really wish I would have taken programming more seriously when I was in college. That said, currently trying to learn Python and Node.js and the best teaching aid is just having to code. I am doing a couple of courses, but having a piece of IaC that needs to be completed and just having to do it has taught me a lot. Inevitably I'm wrong or not efficient a lot of times, but that's what other programmers are there for, to check my work. I'm now starting to catch my own mistakes when things don't work right, which is always a great feeling...assuming they work after I make the change. If they don't, then you feel worse haha
After months of avoiding "it", you finally got me. Nice "Only use if you're admin" , it was too tempting to not check out 🤣🤣 btw Thanks for all your advice , you're a great inspiration to me
If you want to step up from the simple game in this video, try implement the solid 2d platformer player control (like in Mario, Celeste, Super Meat Boy).
Step 1: follow a tutorial project so you know how to use whatever you're trying to use and have experience doing many of the things you'll end up doing. That's not really to learn how to code, that's to learn how to use whatever tools you're going to use, and also enough of the syntax that you'll have a rough understanding of what you might need to do. Step 2: start making independent projects of increasing complexity. Step 3: ??? Step 4: profit. Jokes aside, I really wish there was a good resource for projects of increasing complexity. So many guides and tutorials just front load you with information, just bombard you with. "This is how you do this, this is how you do that", are they going to tell me how to do every possible thing that you can do with programming? The best way to learn anything like this is to just do. But its hard to know what would be most valuable to try without already knowing how to code. The perfect course for me would just be a list of projects and an explanation of syntax that I might need to use. Not telling me how to use it, but telling me what I could use and allowing me to figure out how to do it on my own. Does anyone know any resources like that? I've done projects on my own before and I feel like I learned so much about the logic behind coding which seems to me to be one of the main things, logic and syntax, but I never stuck with coding because I never knew what to do next and always got stuck on something or other or life got in the way. But now I really want to do it. I feel like if I could code I could do so many things that I've always wanted to do.
You can build some AI/ML projects like those in the _Real AI_ section of this video at 4:47, with C++. That'll let you experiment with it and build some fun projects with a language you're already familiar with. And/or check out the _GPT_ section at 19:33 and build something utilizing an AI API (I'd recommend building something like the former first). Then check out some AI Engineering jobs and see what languages (a lot of Python) and tools they use and learn those. It's a process, but it'll be worth it in the long run!!

Sorry to disappoint you, but most employers won't really even look at your project in Svelte, Actix, gRPC and so on. They are good technologies, but you are searching for a job so you should show that you are good at something like React or Vue, since sadly the person that will review your code probably(with high probability) will not know rust or svelte so you can't be rated properly in most cases.
Sorry for the "conventional take" but that is just the reality. 1 year ago when I was searching for a job I was like you and was fullstacking with different technologies, languages and so on, having big grasp. But in the end what helped me the most was just to specialize a little bit more and I got the job very quickly then.
That is an advice from a person who started from zero with no degree and got the Middle position job in 5 months.
After you get your first job, of course, learn all the CS stuff, underlying low level concepts and different topics. But when you are in the middle of searching for a job, probably better time investment is to not bother.
Of course, I agree with much of this, and I meant to say that one should definitely learn React, Vue, etc first. But the purpose of this videos is about setting yourself apart with projects, and of the projects listed, none of them will set you apart as a developer.
Necessarily, to learn low-level concepts or even further technologies like I mentioned, you have to have a strong grasp of the more fundamental hoops.
Also to say "no amount of low level concepts will help you, ever, even slightly" is just a completely poor take in general and you will not be a successful engineer with this mindset of constantly relying on libraries without understanding them, not pushing yourself, etc.
Not just that, but this take is poor for further reasons as consider 2 candidates with the same fundamental practical knowledge, however 1 of the candidates has also demonstrated in a project that they know how these things work internally and can build them themself, this is much more impressive.
I also have a slight feeling a developer who demonstrates skills in things like Rust, Svelte, etc clearly shows an inherent passion for programming from a hiring manager perspective (because they are taking their time to learn things, although as you say, may not directly be applicable to the job market, but this emphasises the passion moreso), in addition to familiarity with industry standard frameworks like React.
Don't get me wrong, I would in any other situation recommend learning React, JavaScript, REST APIs, SQL databases, etc, but you have to consider the title of the video more specifically, which you gloss over. It does not give a good representation of how you would set yourself apart as a developer, everybody does projects like these.

@@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5 hey, how long did it take you to get a job in tech with no degree? did you have relevant experience? esp with the brutal job market now.
@@nark4837 First, I am not talking about the video but generally. Second, you are delusional and let me explain why.
1. My take about "no amount of low level concepts will help you" is about getting your FIRST job. If there was an employer who had to choose between a person who has a lot of practical skills and built a couple of practical real world projects vs a person who studied C for a Frontend Developer role, having little to no practical knowledge(or, highly BELOW someone who specialized), the choice is clear. Same is with you learning Rust, writing fullstack, Svelte and so on. An employer will always value someone who specializes more. So you need to be at least at the same level as someone who specializes. Connects to the next point,
2. If you want to be fullstack, it is practically impossible to be better than a specialized person, at all skill levels. So what you are getting yourself into, especially as a first job, is some unstable startup with low salary and high work hours/workload or a company with a team of
@@AvidL1623 I basically went from zero to getting a job in 5 months, as I said. It was around January this year.
Experience? I built a couple of real world projects, but not commercially.
I did some chaotic learning in that time, had wide grasp(kind of like the op here), but I actually specialized in frontend so I got the job without much problem skill-wise (took me like a month to find it though).
IDK about (global) job market because my country is kind of isolated from it. I live in Europe, and even though my country has free higher education, I could still find the job (after hundreds of rejects, having only 3 interviews total, but still). Maybe luck since I am now called a "senior" developer, but it's more like "middle" internationally, and there is a catch... I maintain(structure/architect, do all the decisions) a project(frontend) alone.
Well I'll make it work, pretty interesting situation to be in, if you ask.
I brought up how dumb IoT sounded at work. Everyone thought I was crazy.
Glad I'm not alone 😂
Bro I watched every single second, I love this guy. Thanks dad 🙏
This guy's coding ability peaked in college
I built an unbeatable tic tac toe recently in c++ few day ago. I must say I learned a lot for a beginner like me.
ForrestKnight because .... No explanation needed
Thanks for the video, Coding Jesus
Absolutely I do agree with you did many tutorials hell, I hate it now, I'm doing my own things I got silly things on github my first tutorial was in 2016, I didn't study CS at all, but I can tell I studied many books like the topics in CS I can say I'm software developer, but I need to be recognized for it, I'm looking for job now, I never did but at least I have 70 projects, included tutorials hell and my own, so I don't feel so proud because some area tutorials, I wanted to erase it but well I can't do it I've just left it there,, you gave me inspiration my friend thank you for this video, I prefer now just to read the whole books in programing.
thank you jesus
OMG I'm dying xDDDDDDDDD
For me
- A programming language since It's the tool that we use to tell computer what to do. Also teach me a lot about parsing things which is useful in other fields where you have to retrieve data by yourself
- An emulator, teach me a lot how computer actually works (even the simplest one like chip8) and how to read documentation (weird docs of CPUs)
- C based HTTP server with its parser
- Game from scratch teach me how graphics in computer is done
I would like to say an operating system but it's a very complex one and I've never made one.
I knew Steven Wilson was a jack of all trades but I didn't expect him to be a programmer as well
Learn to code from Jesus this Christmas on this TH-cam channel
i really needed coding jesus to tell me to get back to coding
The game example makes me feel a little better. I’m trying to build an idle rpg - way more complex than I anticipated…
At 8:00, in Forrest's Coding Journey, you wrote "that it being a creator" instead of "that is being a creator". Hope that helps 👍
gonna make the clip of chopped and screwed TUTORIAL HELL my ringtone (I use a land-line)
Best vid intro ever..
We got coding Jesus before gta 6
Tutorials are never gonna make you as good as pair programming will
Thanks for uploading this! I really liked the mini game projects you showed at the beginning. Could you put them behind a pay wall? I'm trying to learn web dev and SaaS.
Is a GitHub profile with unfinished projects ok or does it look bad?
Haven’t watched the video yet but…
Earned a like because description
Just watched video and…
Earned a sub because intro and explanation
Thank you jesuss ❤
Liked, because good😁
When i said jesus i need your guidance i didnt meant you to actually upload tutorials
Do algorithms like BFS and DFS count as AI?
I am First time here, after watching the thumbnail I was like, how come Jesus is giving programing lessons. Nice video.
I really want to start to get into ai and ml, I’m going to start a project involving googles mediapipe for recognizing hand gestures, people objects etc, but I’m starting school back in a few days so it’s going to take a while now.
Jesus is that you
😂😂😂
I had an idea to make a python webscraping project for the stock market but uuh I need to learn python first 💀
started cs50p and finished the first week 😤
After years of experience in IT, I've moved over to the security realm. Really wish I would have taken programming more seriously when I was in college. That said, currently trying to learn Python and Node.js and the best teaching aid is just having to code. I am doing a couple of courses, but having a piece of IaC that needs to be completed and just having to do it has taught me a lot. Inevitably I'm wrong or not efficient a lot of times, but that's what other programmers are there for, to check my work. I'm now starting to catch my own mistakes when things don't work right, which is always a great feeling...assuming they work after I make the change. If they don't, then you feel worse haha
After months of avoiding "it", you finally got me. Nice "Only use if you're admin" , it was too tempting to not check out 🤣🤣 btw Thanks for all your advice , you're a great inspiration to me
watching this, because curious
I like the intro 😂
If you want to step up from the simple game in this video, try implement the solid 2d platformer player control (like in Mario, Celeste, Super Meat Boy).
It is the first time I found even Jesus do coding 😌😌😌
your chrome looks clean can u suggest how u did that?
I cant help but think in 10 years from now or less, the only programmers needed are the ones which program AI's.
dude this portfolio 10:37 is insane, why didn't you finish this one and go with it?????
19:29 I kinda had a baby... just a little preoccupied
Step 1: follow a tutorial project so you know how to use whatever you're trying to use and have experience doing many of the things you'll end up doing. That's not really to learn how to code, that's to learn how to use whatever tools you're going to use, and also enough of the syntax that you'll have a rough understanding of what you might need to do.
Step 2: start making independent projects of increasing complexity.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit.
Jokes aside, I really wish there was a good resource for projects of increasing complexity. So many guides and tutorials just front load you with information, just bombard you with. "This is how you do this, this is how you do that", are they going to tell me how to do every possible thing that you can do with programming? The best way to learn anything like this is to just do. But its hard to know what would be most valuable to try without already knowing how to code. The perfect course for me would just be a list of projects and an explanation of syntax that I might need to use. Not telling me how to use it, but telling me what I could use and allowing me to figure out how to do it on my own.
Does anyone know any resources like that?
I've done projects on my own before and I feel like I learned so much about the logic behind coding which seems to me to be one of the main things, logic and syntax, but I never stuck with coding because I never knew what to do next and always got stuck on something or other or life got in the way. But now I really want to do it. I feel like if I could code I could do so many things that I've always wanted to do.
Would Step 3 be learning how to charge money for your projects etc. like SaaS? I'm trying to learn SaaS so not sure how to profit.
Jesus is teaching how to code... crazy times bra!
There is where I am at the moment!!
You are an inspiration for me as a programming teacher. Which I wish is my students get your vibes and energies.
I love how Jesus give us tips to start coding
I watched 6h of python tutorials and know some commands now but i have no idea how to do anything with them
I have been in tutorial hell for 10 years
Hey dude, any suggestions you would give me who wants to shift from a cpp dev role to an AI engineer. I'm a beginner, been only a year in the industry
You can build some AI/ML projects like those in the _Real AI_ section of this video at 4:47, with C++. That'll let you experiment with it and build some fun projects with a language you're already familiar with. And/or check out the _GPT_ section at 19:33 and build something utilizing an AI API (I'd recommend building something like the former first).
Then check out some AI Engineering jobs and see what languages (a lot of Python) and tools they use and learn those. It's a process, but it'll be worth it in the long run!!
I like this guy because hes handsome
Hein! Bearded Jesus teaching computer science! 🤣
He’s like Adam Ragusa for devops
As a complete beginner at coding, I didn't understand anything you said in this video apart from that you made a tic tac toe game. lol
backtracking, min-max also a*
Real AI, true AI
Hooray!!! Someone has to say it
I remember a prolog program in the college that do the same that chat gtp
Pretty sure Jesus knows what he's talking about man
0:34 🤣subscribed!
He has hair physics
He Looks Like an actor i cant Recall.
i am building a DNS server let's see how it goes.
Where do all these codes come from? The military? I use to be a tv and video engineer is the leap to programming a chasm?
