I'm a college-level programming tutor and I cannot understand why I've NEVER seen a professor spend time teaching the debugging process. I always cover this first, and it significantly empowers the student.
I'm in college right now and I wish they would have us do more smaller scale projects all the time instead of 2 days of lecture and a lab with a bigger lab project and a weekly project. And the 2 programs I've been exposed to started with did 1 python class and then dumped it to go to either C/C++ or Java.
I'm going to throw in another one for beginners; Even if you're a total newbie, look up on TH-cam for an actual project (single-page portfolio, checklist, be it any) and follow along and blindly imitate each and every step. This way you are not frustrated by the endless basic tutorials and in the end, you actually do get to design something you can be proud of. This in a way pushes you and the more projects you repeat, the more gist you make of the whole thing. And eventually, you'll make it. This surprisingly works for every other software as well, be it a 3d modeling software, photoshop or any for that matter which you might be looking to study.
you know what, every time I get unmotivated or too stressed in my learning journey i always end up watching at least one of your videos and this video, even if without you trying, motivated me so much and even made me feel comfortable about my progress. thank you so much! will keep supporting this channel!
I just had a meltdown because i thought would never be able to code but this helped me so much . I totally get where i was lacking and that's being scared to cause errors and break everything.Just gonna put on some music and get coding and breaking things.Thank you so much . Coding world is blessed to have you!!!!!!
Your colleague had an awesome response to your questions. You’re lucky. I’ve had not so supportive colleagues unfortunately who thought I ask too many questions and need to be more independent. Of course doing due diligence trying to figure things out before asking questions is very important. I hope everyone here gets to work with supportive and patient teammates
This channel is an jewel. Thinking of entering an coding bootcamp. Out of all the videos thus far this was the most clear, straightforward and simple. Perfect combination.
Hi Tiff, I'm Raphael from Brazil 🇧🇷. Your channel has helped me a lot, here I've been learning a lot of technology stuff and practicing my English at the same time, your pronunciation is so easy to understand, thank you!
Am learning ML/R. Your first point makes perfect sense! I have come to convince myself: 1. when I choose to learn to code I also signed up to debugging code, doing research and finding solutions. 2. making mistakes is an INTEGRAL PART of learning, so am NOT TOO hard on me when my code can't run! 3. that AM NOT alone and that the path am on IS WELL TRODDEN. 4. that there's a great community offering to help!
Thank you, as someone who just embarked on the coding journey, this video really inspires and motivates me to have that grit and enthusiasm to follow through this quest.
I can relate SO MUCH to that, I was so affraid to break things too! I would watch so many tutorials and then be so shy and careful in actually trying things out. I would end up coding only the things I was sure would work. I truly enjoy watching your video blogs, keep it up, you really are inspiring!
Yes, it's real I felt so bad for asking so many question to my senior and peer as well, and it's really demoralizing sometimes. Showing other I actually don't know so much as if I am unfit for the role I am in. :) thanks for all the positive words and telling us it's common for not knowing and keep on learning no matter what.
It's so refreshing to see source code apply to both genders. I've subscribed because as a disabled gamer and Unreal Engine Programmer (future developer). I think video tutorials like this show that if you take the time to learn your programming language of choice, the rewards simply speak for themselves. Everyone thinks coding is hard, it is, however what makes it easy (in a manner of speaking) is to practise, as you have said in your video, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, then the rest will simply fall into place If I may add to your video, the more you learn the better a coder in your chosen profession you'll be. It's all about falling over the first hurdle (than) getting back up to try again. Whenever I speak to those outside the coding profession and I explain that coding helps me think logically (as the stroke I had as a baby, disrupted the way that I think - logically) I had to find something to rehabilitate the thought processes in a manner that everyone takes for granted! This can only be achieved in two ways, mathematics and programming. I was thinking about this the other day, and my question has been answered, why does it appear to be only males coding? I am pleased to finally see that you are breaking the glass ceiling and saying to the next generation of coders, females do PLAY a part in software development, just as disabled coders do. Yes, we are in the minority, however with TH-cam content, as what I've seen today, is breaking that glass ceiling, one video tutorial at a time. Keep it going Tiff In Tech, you lead the way, where others will follow. We may be on different sides of the programming spectrum, but as coders, we all speak a language that is used the world over. I look forward to seeing what I can learn from your tutorials so that I can pass your knowledge on to others coming through. Subscribed I have, as the great Yoda would say. Brandon
Hi Tiff! I really enjoyed this video purely because I am also self-taught and I could relate to so much of the "hindsight" you have now. I wish I had this kind of resource three years ago and funny enough I also want to give back by helping others who are starting out. The "you don't know what you don't know" part of the journey was my biggest obstacle and I can finally say that it doesn't scare me anymore! Or at least not in the same way it scared me at first! So don't give up guys! It's totally worth the effort and struggles.
I was about to skip Git this weekend to focus on my Python learning but thx for the friendly reminder that it is important to take time to learn and master Git :)
Thank you Tiff. I am trying to get back into coding after a long pause(15 years) and the lessons you covered in your video helped to build my motivation.
Hi Tiff! Happen to land on your video. But watched it twice in a row. You are honest, transparent and caring. Thanks for this video, I started on my coding journey and your words help greatly. Thanks
Personally for me as a junior FE developer - all of your tips have being like a remedy at this current point of time. I can't explain it in nutshell but I really needed to hear your tips in order to stop stressing myself out because you know - I'm a junior I need to keep up with at least seniors asap in order to get over my imposter syndrome or unworthiness or sort of a feeling. Your words resonated within me in great deal and I will try to stop being so hard on myself with the time pressure as I currently am. Thanks, you kind little creature with genuine-help-programmed heart ^_^
I’m a beginner as an economics major being probably in fintech eventually as a business intelligence or data analyst using codes probably for data mining or stuff related. Maths seems for me great in order to be more aware and lucid.
Hi Tiff thank you so much for this video. I am on a very strict timeline and I put so much pressure on myself to learn everything that I became so overwhelmed. I started doubting my own abilities, I stormed off (metaphorically by closing my sublime terminal), I felt like I was complete shit, and I ended up today having paralysis over what to do. Just knowing that you went through the same thing these reminders just make me feel a ton better already. I am starting my Bootcamp in 3 weeks and I'm excited to embark on this career. Thank you for sharing your tips and your story.
GIT has a huge learning curve for everyone. I didn't work at a company that used GIT until about 6 years ago (because Microsoft Visual Studio had its own version control built in, which MS replaced with GIT a few years back). The problem with GIT is that it doesn't work like you think it does, and even the XKCD comic had a joke about how to resolve GIT problems (delete the repository and clone a new one - i.e., start from scratch).
I am teaching myself python right now, and one thing that helped me was having a "goal" to work towards. Like, not just "to learn to code," but a project I can use with the coding motivates me to stick with my lessons.
@@Jer_nayy Well, I want to learn bioinformatics so I basically Google searched “bioinformatics Python projects” and picked one that sounded interesting😭. I am learning coding through TH-cam tho. :)
The number one thing I would've done differently is slow down. I used to rush through books and typing up the examples without stopping to really understand what they were trying to teach me. This line of work is a marathon that lasts the rest of your life.
Good advice, Tiff! Even though I’m not a beginner anymore, I still find it useful, as it helps me realize the importance of some things I now take for granted. Like git, after 8 years, git is something you just know :))) you can’t even remember how it was to not know it.
4:21 is on point! So useful to do... and a great reason to have containers around things (and I don't specifically mean Docker or anything, just... a contained environment where even a spectacular breaking of things won't harm anything outside the container), so one can really feel free to have at it.
If you are just starting programming the best things to do is look at the job vacancies to see which languages employers want. Second, look at how much the languages pay from novice in the team to elder. Then decide which language you want to lean first and master it.
believe it or not ur each videos are so so motivating for programmers like me, please make a video on how & from where did u learn data structures & algo.
Excellent tips! This is supposed to be fun! There's a reason RTFM is a thing. The first programs I ever wrote were in IBM 360/370 Macro Assembly Language which was an ideal introduction to what the computer is doing and how it is actually doing it. But it was in a Systems Analysis class that the idea of how the program counter and the program status register (status flags) really work that I actually understood how these binary instructions could actually make the computer do what it does. Exciting times! I tore into 6502 and the 680x0 assembly language and loved every minute of it. Of course I never actually had a job programming, that would have been entirely too much pressure. These are puzzles to figure out. You need to be able make mistakes and try different things. A job doesn't usually offer that kind of flexibility.
OMG. thank you Tiff. I'm much much too old to start over as I'm a grandma. I wished there were more generous and loving people like you around when I was growing up. Still I'm going to learn python as it's less expensive than fixing my car. I broke something trying to fix it.
Amazing experience Tiff, thank you for such great quality content. I always end up watching your videos for motivating me. I will keep supporting this channel :)
Awesome. It's so nice things have improved in the software industry. When I went to school for CS, most of the students were male and only a few females made it the whole way through. I never understood why as most of them were some of the best programmers in the class. Sadly, from what I heard at the time female enrollment went down in the field of CS. Glad it's turned around so well. Great points. I'm no longer in the field, but in one of my first jobs I remember learning many of those same great traits. One additional one I especially found helpful was to have a database generation script that was maintained alongside the project. When dealing with complex data structures and complex data manipulation code, plus adding experimenting to the process, it was many times very beneficial to nuke the database and rebuild it from scratch. A well maintained script allowed you, with just a command, to do just that in a matter of seconds. Plus, it fits in well with your point on GIT, as your current database structure is maintained in GIT as well. Love the video.
"was almost anti-documentation i no idea why no reason" ... I notice that I am the same and I will try to read more at the documentation ! Thanks to you :)
As one who works more then 15 years as a coder, try to automate as much as possible. Use code linter & formatter, also tests help you to keep breaking code under control and feel comfortable.
Hi Tiff:-) Your video feels like divine timing for me...I started my coding journey a few weeks ago and the intensity of this learning curve has felt like drinking water from a fire hose given the pace of the course and the amount of content being covered within this 6-week window. Long story short...I was fully in my feelings today being hard on myself when I came across your vid. Thanks so much for putting things into perspective for me. I really needed to hear this today. I'm now picking myself up n' looking forward to having fun and fulfillment with coding and the opportunities ahead. #failingforward #newsubbie
it is just a minute in, and I am hooked by the intro presentation. You could be a great instructor, if the content are really good, and "presentable" (for the lack of better terms). I will continue to follow your contents.
Thank you for this video. I'm learning ansible and I have put pressure on myself that I have to pick up things quickly to meet an expectation. Right now I'm trying to calm down from my frustration...thanks again
As someone whose learning game programming the naming of variables is sure a big help especially when i know I'll be going back to review that chunk of code and see what it does. haha breaking stuff is fun thou.
I think one big issue that TH-camrs make is offering theory without going the extra mile with more concrete examples. Offering examples takes considerably more work, but ultimately leads to superior content quality. Telling people smoking is bad for you is the norm, but illustrating the damage caused by cigarette smoke is so much more powerful. Likewise illustrating the power of naming variables and offering naming conventions and ways to improve the readability of code is one of the most powerful tips you can offer a beginner. Your subscribers will hear it here, but it will truly sink in when they see it somewhere else.
Trying to find good tutorials for GIT has been a stinking block for me. I need to learn version control... What does GIT do? Version control! Thanks for the great video!
2:39 I had the same feelings with breaking things as well.... It kind of gives me that lack of confidence in myself to do something. But now I have overcome that feelings.
You're so smart, and beautiful. I have been subscribed for a long time (I guess I unsubscribed at some point also), but lately I've been paying more attention to this channel and I think it's a shame you're overlooked for some people. Your thoughts and advices are awesome, way more helpful and realistic than many other youtubers doing the same thing. I freaking love this channel, it's already among my top 3 alongside CodingPhase and... I don't remember the other one :P
@Sophie C yeah, sure, I can go to Brad Traversy and highlight how beautiful he is. I'm not even angry. Your comment is stupid because you don't have to tell me or hope that I say anything to anyone. You have to read a lot to drain all these modern poisoning ideas and meddling in things that are not your business or you'll learn the hard way, but have it your way...
I found “error messages” to be very frustrating..until I started learning and understanding what it was saying. Learning Code is challenging especially when there isn’t a person on can have a face to face with. It’s not impossible..just challenging. 🥺😅😊🙏🏾
Can you go over the types of code such as HTML, Java, C++, Etc and suggest how to go about choosing one for a career in coding, such as website design, gaming, etc. That would be helpful. Thank you so much.
re 3 you are right, but not all docs are clear enough to help beginners... usually you are ready to read the docs once you get some experience from tutorials and own explorations
1- Treat errors as opportunities
2- Use custom names for variables and classes
3- Read the documentation
4- Learn how to use GIT properly
5- Know your terminal
6- Have fun coding
7- Remove your ego from your learning journey
8- Don't be afraid to ask questions
Thanks, really thank you.

I'm a college-level programming tutor and I cannot understand why I've NEVER seen a professor spend time teaching the debugging process. I always cover this first, and it significantly empowers the student.
👏👏right!!
I graduated last year in C.S. and this is my biggest gripe!
I learned to code in the early 80s. I'd done about 3 courses using high level languages but wasn't taught to debug until I took an assembler course.
I came from a time when _version control_ is a non-concept in school.
I'm in college right now and I wish they would have us do more smaller scale projects all the time instead of 2 days of lecture and a lab with a bigger lab project and a weekly project. And the 2 programs I've been exposed to started with did 1 python class and then dumped it to go to either C/C++ or Java.
I'm going to throw in another one for beginners;

4:22 “Go break things”
Laptop now in million pieces.
Remove your ego - this the best advice in my life 🖤💥🖤
Can I add one more thing? It would be "Learn to enjoy pain"
Hi Tiff:-) Your video feels like divine timing for me...I started my coding journey a few weeks ago and the intensity of this learning curve has felt like drinking water from a fire hose given the pace of the course and the amount of content being covered within this 6-week window. Long story short...I was fully in my feelings today being hard on myself when I came across your vid. Thanks so much for putting things into perspective for me. I really needed to hear this today. I'm now picking myself up n' looking forward to having fun and fulfillment with coding and the opportunities ahead. #failingforward #newsubbie
"Don't have unrealistic expectations" I'm teaching myself how to code and i don't have many expectations, I just wanna a job 😂.
And you think that's realistic 😉
You will get a job. Just keep up practicing consistently
it is just a minute in, and I am hooked by the intro presentation. You could be a great instructor, if the content are really good, and "presentable" (for the lack of better terms). I will continue to follow your contents.
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for this video. I'm learning ansible and I have put pressure on myself that I have to pick up things quickly to meet an expectation. Right now I'm trying to calm down from my frustration...thanks again
As someone whose learning game programming the naming of variables is sure a big help especially when i know I'll be going back to review that chunk of code and see what it does. haha breaking stuff is fun thou.
Haha right!? That’s awesome you’re learning game programming
I love you Tiff. Thank you for this videos.
Thank you very much! I feel better now.
So glad I came across this video! Just started yesterday, familiar with DAX but wanting to expand my knowledge 💜
4- Learn how to use GIT properly 5- Know your terminal 100% Correct , thank you for your insights.
Amazing content as always! You're videos really help in my own journey towards software development, thank you.
How did you learn DATA STRUCTURE & ALGORITHM??
How much time it takes you to master DSA?
It takes time Forsure! Leetcode is such a great resource for that
Hi Manish, as a python developer I'm just about to start learning ds & algo, You know resources at a intermediate level kindly tell me?
@@AnkitSingh-xg4qy you can watch lectures of Abdul Bari Sir.
What's DSA?

I think one big issue that TH-camrs make is offering theory without going the extra mile with more concrete examples. Offering examples takes considerably more work, but ultimately leads to superior content quality.
Telling people smoking is bad for you is the norm, but illustrating the damage caused by cigarette smoke is so much more powerful. Likewise illustrating the power of naming variables and offering naming conventions and ways to improve the readability of code is one of the most powerful tips you can offer a beginner. Your subscribers will hear it here, but it will truly sink in when they see it somewhere else.
Thank you. Just starting out on the self learning journey. Will takes these tips on board.
👏👏👏👏
Trying to find good tutorials for GIT has been a stinking block for me. I need to learn version control... What does GIT do? Version control! Thanks for the great video!
2:39 I had the same feelings with breaking things as well.... It kind of gives me that lack of confidence in myself to do something. But now I have overcome that feelings.
Can you tell me about your tech setup .. monitors...software tools etc? Thanks Tiff..ur a good friend :)
I have a video on it but will do an updated video on it soon 😊
Thank you so much for your videos, they are fantastic motivation for me. ❤
Awesomeness thanks for this! I am just going on to Python, will use a lot of your tips going forward. Thanks again.
Yay! You got this!
Thankyou for your positive statement, def feeling they same way you were at the beginning of your journey. I am on my beginning of my journey 🙌
You got this!
Treat programming as Stack Overflow instead of freaking out.
haha yup
This was a really good video... im going through so much bad self talk now whilst learning React. 🦄🦋
You're so smart, and beautiful. I have been subscribed for a long time (I guess I unsubscribed at some point also), but lately I've been paying more attention to this channel and I think it's a shame you're overlooked for some people. Your thoughts and advices are awesome, way more helpful and realistic than many other youtubers doing the same thing. I freaking love this channel, it's already among my top 3 alongside CodingPhase and... I don't remember the other one :P
Thank you so much it means a lot to me!! Happy to have you here! Hope you have a great weekend! 😊
@Sophie C I hope in the future you keep those stupid comments to yourself. I'm not gay or Bi, and I guess you are feminazi.
@Sophie C yeah, sure, I can go to Brad Traversy and highlight how beautiful he is.
I'm not even angry. Your comment is stupid because you don't have to tell me or hope that I say anything to anyone. You have to read a lot to drain all these modern poisoning ideas and meddling in things that are not your business or you'll learn the hard way, but have it your way...
These concise tips are really helpful. Thanks a bunch!
I found “error messages” to be very frustrating..until I started learning and understanding what it was saying. Learning Code is challenging especially when there isn’t a person on can have a face to face with. It’s not impossible..just challenging. 🥺😅😊🙏🏾
Totally!!
@@TiffInTech how long did it take for things to start clicking?
You have a very positive aura, subscribed. Any tips on the order self-studying? Would that be an exciting video topic for you?
This was really helpful thank you. Im starting my journey.. again. But I now have the goal of an app I want to build so its much more motivating.
Thanks for sharing, thanks for your advice!
You bet!
Thank you, Tiff. 💕
Thanks komrad, really helpful tips that I will keep in mind; wish me luck
Thank you for this video. This is also my new career and hearing those tips helped me to stay confident!
Thank you! that is great to hear!
Great insight. I'll go break things now. 🙌😅🤣
Thank you for the content. It really made my day!!
Can you go over the types of code such as HTML, Java, C++, Etc and suggest how to go about choosing one for a career in coding, such as website design, gaming, etc. That would be helpful. Thank you so much.
Starting to learn React!! Excited for the journey. Thanks!
Congrats!! Love react! Hope you enjoy itn
Somehow never stopped to break things haha
Awesome video :-)
I feel so grateful for this video! Seriously, thanks a lot!
Thank you that makes me so happy to hear!
Really liked this video. Keep up on the educational videos
re 3 you are right, but not all docs are clear enough to help beginners... usually you are ready to read the docs once you get some experience from tutorials and own explorations
