Love your videos. They are so straight forward unlike other channels who sometimes think that we are pro and use technical language that goes right through one ear and comes out the other one. But you use such simple terms that are way easier to grasp. All my doubts got cleared out. Keep up the good work Namanh.

@@piyushtyagi4143 I began with CS50 from HarvardX and my main language back then was Python , then I build 5 projects in python and 5 web projects. Then I started learning React and Javascript. I then started doing leetcode. They are pretty much free, however, I found out that I did too much leetcode, I have done 200 in one and a half month. It was all free and the only thing cost me money is my resume maker. I took me 3 month with all this to get my first job.

Another great video! I have a 17 years old son who always keeps saying " Baba....I want to be like you, a software engineer. Traveling the world and making so much money"...I am good software engineer but a horrible teacher! I told him to start with Java or C++ like I did🤣 but thank god you posted this video😅 I will send this video to him! Thank you!
So I’m a software engineering student in my final year. I’ve taken a few interviews now and that first interview went horrible! I had an hour to do two questions and I struggled hard - but I learnt so much from that interview. I went on to my second and automatically found it easier because of the first. Every single interview gets easier and easier and also more positive. My mind set changed after the second interview and I saw each failure as a way of learning (this didn’t come from the first; I felt so rubbish. I felt like I had wasted my time at uni etc). I think a good thing to do I remind yourself where you were 6 months or 12 months prior. This helped me a lot since I remembered not knowing anything about arrays or even variables. To now having built a few different apps across different platforms (none of them near perfect btw). And now I know what an array is, I know how to use them. I know what a variable is. I know how to use them etc etc. - lastly, my advice to any self taught programmers out there is to make sure you learn Object Oriented Programming (OOP); you might not use it at first but in my experience tech companies want an understanding at least when starting out.
If your degree is not teaching you object oriented programming then it is a crap course at a crap college. You should ask for your money back. And you should be undertaking programming projects as part of your course, complete worthwhile applications.

In fact, I didn't do a degree in computer science, I did another a technical subject. 5 years after graduating university, I was programming in assembly language in my job and using in circuit emulation, and then self trained in Oracle database management server and Microsoft Access. I then got a programming job and went into software development full time and undertook projects of national importance to my country benefiting tens of millions of people. Theory means nothing. Yes you should code up some standard algorithms to get practise, but you need some meaty sized practical projects. You build confidence by doing those projects and being able to talk about the problems you encountered and how you solved them, and why you made the architectural and implementation decisions you did. It is no good only studying theory and trying to remember it. That is not what makes a good programmer.
@@Darth_Misa I undertook a course of study between the ages of 16 and 18 in Computer Science and it certainly was very useful. It covered computer engineering, architecture, digital logic, data structures, algorithms, relational database management systems, programming languages, compiler design, assemblers and probably a load of other topics I no longer remember. Whatever course you do must cover data structures and algorithms.

Angela Yu's course on python is what I've been taking. Currently on day 64 of 100, and I never thought I'd be able to accomplish so much with programming as I have in taking her course. It does need some updates and tweaking, but otherwise a solid course.
Same, one of if not the best python courses available. Its genuinely excellent to the point of shaming the others out there. I skip most the videos, and do the exercises. There is a course with 100 python beginner problems. Great for learning basic syntax ect. Angela yu's course has phenomenal projects including full webapp development.
I appreciate the real world advice from your videos. Too many code channels try to take advantage of people trying to break in, and you don't do that. Solid channel.
Thanks for the video. I’m currently 26 years old. And I had all believed that it was over for me to learn to code. This has reinvigorated my confidence in it. Thank you.
Great motivational video for non-programmers. I was sceptical if I would be able to learn python at 35, but your video is really guides on from where to start.
@@denyel5214its a good course, theoretical, but i learned from real Software developers, that they say, dont learn only theory, learn from beginning how to do Projects, even little Projects, because at the end, you want to get a Job with Ur skills. And Just from theory its hard to solve real Technical Problems in real world
Immediate subscribe. Didn’t overdo the Udemy shoutout. Edited down to concise and insightful advice. Good production. Knowledgeable. Caring tone. Loved everything about it, and I’m inspired to get started. Thanks for a great video.
Interviewing advice given here is gold. I didn’t realize how different interviewing for tech would be as a dev than majority of other roles not tech. Thanks for this
Alright, so as someone that has been grinding the self taught path part time for two years now, I can say that I have learned alot of this the hard way. First I got stuck on CSS, and gave it way too much attention when I should have gotten into JS. Futhermore, I should have not even started to learn OOP with JS. It was painful given the nature and syntax of the language. I started OOP over again with a python tutorial and it was literally like swimming downstream afterward. Do NOT worry about the language. Learn the concepts first with Python. Get comfortable to the point where you can explain OOP to a boomer, then worry about getting into a marketable web dev stack. This approach could honestly take a year off your journey if you are starting from a weak logic background.
It took me about a year to understand this polished way of actually learning man. Now when I am about to learn a tech ,I go to documentation or watch a very very basic course then create stuff and learn by doing .You just validated my knowledge thank youuu
I started with C in school in 8th grade and I'm actually glad they first showed us C. If we needed to start with Java, I would've wanted to quit instantly. I'm now 11th grade and we now learn Java.
Yay! I just started my programming journey and I think I'm on the right track with Dr. Angela You 100 days of python. I enjoy how she keeps me engaged with so many exercises and projects, some of which exemplify real life problems and solutions to help with corrections just in case I get stuck....love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Got this video in my recommendation and wasn't much going into it but you got straight to the point and gave really good advice. Throught out the video we could see what we are experiencing as beginner programmer and what to expect in the future as we learn more. This is the first video i have watched of you but i will be back for more.
Thank you so much!! I didn't know how to start, I am an accountant and love to learn more about programming but I felt loss with so much info about it. Your video is a pure gem and straight to the point. You are so right about the interview process and it serves for other areas as well, like Finance, practice/training is very important to succeed anywhere.
And here I am having built two huge applications on my own, finished a cs degree, easily do most leetcode mediums and still can’t even get interviews. The thing is it doesn’t matter that you can code all that matters is how many connections you can get.
I needed this sense of 'just go for it' so badly. The amount of imposter syndrome I feel when it comes to doing anything is honestly terrifying; and you telling me that I have as good of a shot as anyone doing CS (I'm an Electrical and Electronics student) is v assuring TwT Thanks man ✌
After watching this video, i’ve started feeling so dumb. I’ve spend almost year watching youtube videos and coding only step by step by pausing the video. As the result, as the result i have a real fear of coding or to have a mistake and no true knowledge about themes i’he choose. In addition to the above, outside my window is the war started by Russia against Ukraine and all humanity, daily power outages… I am totally screwed up. But I have to finish what I’ve started, not for myself, but for my family and children, for the the victory of Ukraine. Thank you for your inspiration!
Just watched your first video and I love it. I'm a software developer but yes I don't feel motivated sometimes. Your video helped me to find a way to enhance my skills.
currently studying in comp sci and im struggling with a few programming languages. you gave great tips and tricks that I will implement in my free time
Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much this helps. I love tech and want to make it a career, but it seems so hard and oversaturated. I was always nervous, but this gives me hope. Thank you. I WILL become a software engineer!
i'm 22 yo, stuck with a major in chemical engineering that i hate and cannot quit, i hope i can achieve this switch to software engineering which i love so much
I'm 14, And my Mom is already forcing coding down my throat and this video really helped me get the fundamentals down and I just want to thank you for helping so much. I'm currently using Khan academy's coding language and its pretty simple to use and I'd really appreciate if you could tell me if I should use these instead of Khan Academy's coding language.
Thank you Thank you for being here, this is a new journey for me and I believe that I can be in a new career in coding 3-6 months from Today with your content and my determination while having fun :) Cheers Namanh!!
Thank you so much for your content. I've laid out a roadmap of work I need to learn and the PRACTICE and BUILDING I need to do to get into this field. Your videos give me the feeling that it's all possible even though I didn't study computer science at Uni. However, I am working my way through CS50's Intro course which is real fun. Also completing the Google Data Analytics course on Coursera because I realized that I also enjoy working with data. Have a great week ahead! Do you do any mentoring or coaching/training? I know you're working full-time but thought I'd ask anyway. Cheers
Have watched your video a second time, and am glad I did. I checked out Angela Yu's 100 Days of Coding course, and have already signed up for it. Jumping in with both feet! Hopefully will have some useful skills to put on the table before my unemployment unsurance runs out. I'll be looking to you as my new Computer Science Guru, and will be looking at your other videos as well. Many thanks for making the effort to help a heavy equipment operator change to a new career!
I think the hardest thing to learn coding is being persistent, there are many times I want to give up, can't fix a bug, can't compile the program, compare myself to other genius developers, etc.
I honestly rarely subscribe to anyone but, I subscribed to you after the first watched video. I dont know what it is but, I just really like you. You are very easy to listen to, explain everything so well and just shoot those positive vibes all around the place. Thanks alot man and keep up the great work!
I started to code not too long ago and I started with Javascript. As a 10 year old, it's a bit hard but I think python will be a great language to learn after I learn javascript
Very informative video. You're a great speaker and have a very zen demeanor. I'm just so amazed at how intelligent and accomplished you and other young folks are at such young ages.
Loved your video! Absolutely motivating. Right now I'm doing a bootcamp, it expensive, but I take it as a way to engage and persist, just as you say in the video. Found very insightfull how you share your experience on interviews.
What bootcamp did you go to and did you get a job after completing it? I'm learning on my own right now but am thinking of joining one maybe in the beginning of the year.
Thanks man for the video, Im at my 2nd year of CS Engineering and I feel depresed or with no motivation, but now I just wanna study more and get better!
my father been telling about coding for long since I was a child and I never done anything about it, and he blamed me for it. now I'm about to be 17 in march and I'm just getting started.
Thank you for sharing so much insight and information, it is so helpful and inspiring for me, and I'm sure others that are just starting out in programming and feel intimidated by all the information out there. You mentioned in this video at 6:33 , "real world technologies." If you have the chance, I think your subscribers would love to have your insight on some examples of real world technologies, just so we have an idea of what those technologies are and what they do, and how they could also assist us on our own projects outside of work. I'm curious what kind of application are truly useful to real companies and more specifically, which ones you've used in your experience. Thank you again for all your hard work putting these videos together, they are making an impact! We appreciate you!
Hi Namanh! I have been looking for a sign for almost a week and out of the blue, your video came out as the first video on my YT homepage! THANK YOU for this video and I do hope this goes well for me! More blessings to you, man!
Mr Namanh, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS! I Listen to this one and the 'how I focus' almost every day. Just started learning python 2 weeks ago using the 100 day course on udemy, it's very fun, and many interesting struggles! I have suggestions for videos: video 1 - who are your mentors/ role models in code and also in life? who do you inspire yourself with? video 2 - a meditation/ self hypnosis/ affirmations to help put us in the flow-zone before studying or coding! I know there are many out there, but coming from you and your voice is essential! muita gratidao and much love from Brasil!
Thanks for sharing man. That was so cool. I have been in IT for a bit. Currently a Network Admin but looking to jump to the AWS cloud developer side. They say its good to know some Python. This is the first time I have ever heard the path to coding explained in a breif, practical way. Also i was just looking at the 100 days of code course on udemy recently. Thanks a bunch. I hope to get to the coding Jedi group soon : )
3:00 it's the way I chosen to learn. I learn by failure and doing it my own way. I can't learn by following guides like telling you to do "hello world", all you know after that is how to do what it tells you I came up with an idea (build my own basic guessing game), and broke it down into steps. What do i need it to do, then gave me the questions I needed to google search trial and error, then allowed me to make it. The game works, took me 1 week to write about 20 lines of code, but has spurred my desire to learn more and helped me troubleshoot errors. 150 google searches total
@@morsheddldif u watch 30 TH-cam videos and don't write a single line don't make sense.according to me doing projects more effective than watching or reading a book. (by Magento developer)
I thank you sincerely. No really. Like thank you so much! I’ve been researching peoples accounts and roadmaps and yours was the ONLY one I found that gave a list, suggestions and caution! Thank you this was the motivation I needed! I will keep you and the comments posted! ❤
Love your videos man! I’m just beginning my developer journey and I’m starting with JavaScript. I’m sure both roads will get me to the same place, but I am curious on your thoughts on Python vs JS as a first language and also in terms of marketability when I do start applying for jobs. Keep up the great work!
javascript would be my top pick for beginner programmer languages in general, but if you only have 3-6 months, i think it’s easier to ramp up with python - can’t go wrong with either though!
Same Here … studied a sense board programming at UNI, watched and learnt many TH-cam tutorials, worked hard to progress, got into work experience with many languages, built few web applications, servers, snippets, etc… 10 years later now, I think I would have told my younger self to do more side projects to learn and solve productivity issues.
I'm a beginner in coding, python is the first programming language I learn, I've been stuck on it for a few days, and I decide to quit python and move to javascript, as a beginner is quite hard for me to understand how python work, what python can do, etc. but thanks to your video it was really helpful for me as a beginner, but I'm also being confused after watching this video, should I back to python? or keep on JavaScript? well, I just learn JS in 3 or 4 days, but I can say that JS is easier than python.
python was the easier programming language , because you dont need to type a lot of code not like the javascript, actually js and python have similarities especially in function , much better is to start in BASIC , learn first the data structure and algorithms after that the object oriented and python
That warzone clip at 11:18 👀. Man I need to stop playing COD and start coding. Seriously tho great video man and honestly really great advice. I'm a self taught programmer and I'm doing Dr. Angela Yu's Web Developer bootcamp right now on Udemy and it's amazing how many resources are out there right now. There's no excuse for anyone not to be able to improve their life and try to better themselves. You've definitely got a new sub 👍🏼
I have watch these sort of videos and started a series where i will follow whatever you people say and update the progress. I am the guy who started programming
Dear Kapur, I have just started university, and in the first semester, they will teach us C++. So what is your opinion? Should I focus on C++ or start Python? Thank YOU
Since you have just started. You should focus on C++. It helps you to master the basics and fundamentals of most programming languages. Once you have these fundamentals then it would be easy to learn other languages.
I'm a first year college student (computer science). I just started learning python but it only took me a few months to build 2 of my first apps. One is a file concealer where you can conceal any zip file within an image and that image will still function as a normal image with only difference of having bigger size than a normal one (because the zip file you've concealed is in it). The second app is a mass deletion application where for example you downloaded a gamepack and there's a lot of game in it but most of them are duplicates like games written in different language but has a U.S (English) counterpart. You can easily filter them out in my program and delete them as opposed to filtering them out manually which will definitely waste a lot of your time if you're filtering thousands of them.
This was my first video from your channel. Thanks dude! i really appreciate the way you guided through everything. I am pretty sure once i get myself into the eco-system by getting a course, straight away i will know what to do next, which is the only point where the majority is lagging. So, this much guidance was enough. The rest of course remains on the work we do :)
Such an informative video man, I’m trying to shift into becoming a software engineer and this is exactly what I needed to see at this time, thanks man would love to see more
I like code academy. It's been tea hing me while writing the code at the same time. I was able to retain the I for right away. I'm hands on person too so I agree with hands on works best.
I'm 31, I already got a college degree but nothing related to computer science. Recently I found that coding is what I've been searching my whole life, being a software developer has become the dream of my life. I've been studying python for a couple months, but still there is something that makes me feel not sure, and it's my age. I don't know if they are looking for younger people. I'm still motivated, but that one thing sometimes hits my mind
Exactly the same age as you and in the same situation. I have a degree on Economics. I think let’s just do our best and see, it’s better than doing nothing! Good luck to you fam
I have a 31 year old black friend in Nigeria that recently started his career as a Software Engineer. No, he didn't study computer science. ND guess what? He works for two US companies remotely from Nigeria. What's more? I have a 50+ year old man that is currently transitioning to Tech (Product Management). Listen Up! 31 is farrrrr from being too old to fit into tech! Are you kidding me? I feel like that's just the right age my brother..... To me, I feel it communicates maturity and tenacity.... It all depends on how you decide to brand yourself: Either as an old person who is struggling to fit in or a skillful 31 year old programmer who is also experienced at managing cross-functional teams. I believe the soft skills you've gathered over years places you at a better advantage than SOME younger people who lack emotional intelligence... So please, BELIEVE IN, and SELL YOURSELF WELL! No one will, if you don't.
Absolutely loved this video! I'm 17 yo majoring in Design and I want to study programming by myself and your tips will help me a lot. I saw you speak Portuguese so ganhou um inscrito!

My baby girl Angela Yu on the front page ❤️❤️, she's the no 1, no teacher can beat her, I can personally attest, I am on my second bootcamp from her and she is a crazy good teacher, she also doesn't let you just watch, she makes sure you get hands on 🤧, she is crazy, I became excellent in just 4 months with her bootcamp...and that was my first time programming
I purchased 2 times Udemy courses, both was actually good rated, but turned out to be more like a kind of „warm up“ instead of a serious course. I am beginner as well, learning JS, since it seems to be very popular and easy to learn. I cannot trust into someone recommend me only his own products, sorry. But I agree with your points on the video
That was a realliy great video. Definitally the most clear and practical cod learning advice I have found on youtube. Thank your for putting in the work.
I dropped out of university and im in the process of finding an entirely new path, it should be quick, it should be non traditional as my resumee is full of ups and downs and it should be something im interested in. While i always shyed away from Coding, the way you describe it sounds interesting and im thinking about picking it up. Ill probably do it as a fun part time activity after my minimum wage job and see how it developes from there.
I love this video, i am spanish speaker and im learning english and development. and inclusive i dont understand your words (hahaha) you are very clear in you explained in this video. congratulation you motivate me to improvement me.
My personal opinion? The best teacher for learning Python is Programming With Mosh. He has his own personal website, TH-cam content, and he even has courses on Udemy.
Just began with Python and I'm finding it awesome. I'm finding the syntax exceptionally logical, which is a big plus for beginners. Furthermore, the versatility of Python in different fields is remarkable.

There is a course with 100 python beginner problems. Great for learning basic syntax ect.
Angela yu's course has phenomenal projects including full webapp development.
@@josephvictory9536 did you get a job
I am on day 4 and i can say feel i am learning so much so fast.. she is an amazing teacher!
same im on day 80 to be honest im very very thankful To Angela Yu

Thank you for this. This honestly is what I need moving forward. I appreciate how straightforward this is without so much fluff.
I appreciate the real world advice from your videos. Too many code channels try to take advantage of people trying to break in, and you don't do that. Solid channel.
Thanks for the video. I’m currently 26 years old. And I had all believed that it was over for me to learn to code. This has reinvigorated my confidence in it. Thank you.
You’re acting like 26 is old 😂🤦♂️
This guy never said to like my videos or subscribe to my channel, and he gave so much valuable content. Thanks, bro!! Appreciate it!!
Great motivational video for non-programmers. I was sceptical if I would be able to learn python at 35, but your video is really guides on from where to start.
Im with you, 35 and taking a Python intro course!
💪
@@MenteyExito@bobyluvs how is it going?
I am 36 and just started the harvard python course!
@@denyel5214its a good course, theoretical, but i learned from real Software developers, that they say, dont learn only theory, learn from beginning how to do Projects, even little Projects, because at the end, you want to get a Job with Ur skills. And Just from theory its hard to solve real Technical Problems in real world
Immediate subscribe. Didn’t overdo the Udemy shoutout. Edited down to concise and insightful advice. Good production. Knowledgeable. Caring tone. Loved everything about it, and I’m inspired to get started. Thanks for a great video.
Interviewing advice given here is gold. I didn’t realize how different interviewing for tech would be as a dev than majority of other roles not tech. Thanks for this
Alright, so as someone that has been grinding the self taught path part time for two years now, I can say that I have learned alot of this the hard way. First I got stuck on CSS, and gave it way too much attention when I should have gotten into JS. Futhermore, I should have not even started to learn OOP with JS. It was painful given the nature and syntax of the language. I started OOP over again with a python tutorial and it was literally like swimming downstream afterward.
Do NOT worry about the language. Learn the concepts first with Python. Get comfortable to the point where you can explain OOP to a boomer, then worry about getting into a marketable web dev stack. This approach could honestly take a year off your journey if you are starting from a weak logic background.
It took me about a year to understand this polished way of actually learning man. Now when I am about to learn a tech ,I go to documentation or watch a very very basic course then create stuff and learn by doing .You just validated my knowledge thank youuu
amazing!
I started with C in school in 8th grade and I'm actually glad they first showed us C. If we needed to start with Java, I would've wanted to quit instantly.
I'm now 11th grade and we now learn Java.
Yay! I just started my programming journey and I think I'm on the right track with Dr. Angela You 100 days of python.
I enjoy how she keeps me engaged with so many exercises and projects, some of which exemplify real life problems and solutions to help with corrections just in case I get stuck....love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
that’s awesome to hear, good luck with the rest of the course!
Niceee
Got this video in my recommendation and wasn't much going into it but you got straight to the point and gave really good advice. Throught out the video we could see what we are experiencing as beginner programmer and what to expect in the future as we learn more. This is the first video i have watched of you but i will be back for more.
Thank you so much!! I didn't know how to start, I am an accountant and love to learn more about programming but I felt loss with so much info about it. Your video is a pure gem and straight to the point. You are so right about the interview process and it serves for other areas as well, like Finance, practice/training is very important to succeed anywhere.
And here I am having built two huge applications on my own, finished a cs degree, easily do most leetcode mediums and still can’t even get interviews.
The thing is it doesn’t matter that you can code all that matters is how many connections you can get.
I needed this sense of 'just go for it' so badly. The amount of imposter syndrome I feel when it comes to doing anything is honestly terrifying; and you telling me that I have as good of a shot as anyone doing CS (I'm an Electrical and Electronics student) is v assuring TwT Thanks man ✌
you got this bro!
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Good luck on your journey!
After watching this video, i’ve started feeling so dumb. I’ve spend almost year watching youtube videos and coding only step by step by pausing the video. As the result, as the result i have a real fear of coding or to have a mistake and no true knowledge about themes i’he choose. In addition to the above, outside my window is the war started by Russia against Ukraine and all humanity, daily power outages… I am totally screwed up. But I have to finish what I’ve started, not for myself, but for my family and children, for the the victory of Ukraine. Thank you for your inspiration!
Just watched your first video and I love it. I'm a software developer but yes I don't feel motivated sometimes. Your video helped me to find a way to enhance my skills.
currently studying in comp sci and im struggling with a few programming languages. you gave great tips and tricks that I will implement in my free time
This felt more like a Udemy ad more than anything
Facts.. I’d rather go to Barnes and nobles and get books and learn myself and if needed pay a mentor in software engineering if I get stuck.
So true
Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much this helps. I love tech and want to make it a career, but it seems so hard and oversaturated. I was always nervous, but this gives me hope. Thank you. I WILL become a software engineer!
excited for you!
Thanks bro! And to anyone just getting started out like myself, I wish us all the best in our new journey.
Watching right when I started coding to now actually learned code and just got my first job , I must thank you!
I'm truly thankful for making us young programmers motivated and guiding us, thank you and I hope you have a bright future brother.
i'm 22 yo, stuck with a major in chemical engineering that i hate and cannot quit, i hope i can achieve this switch to software engineering which i love so much
I'm 14, And my Mom is already forcing coding down my throat and this video really helped me get the fundamentals down and I just want to thank you for helping so much. I'm currently using Khan academy's coding language and its pretty simple to use and I'd really appreciate if you could tell me if I should use these instead of Khan Academy's coding language.
Don't forget even if you're studying coding you can still work on your hobbies too
great video bro, it has really motivate me in my self-taught coding journey. thanks a lot for this video and keep up the good work.
Im a front-end developer and web designer, ive longed to get into software dev. You've inspired me to get after it.
Thank you Thank you for being here, this is a new journey for me and I believe that I can be in a new career in coding 3-6 months from Today with your content and my determination while having fun :) Cheers Namanh!!
How’s it going 6 months on?
"It's a bunch of stuff you'll probably never use again" incredibly well put.
Thank you so much for your content. I've laid out a roadmap of work I need to learn and the PRACTICE and BUILDING I need to do to get into this field. Your videos give me the feeling that it's all possible even though I didn't study computer science at Uni. However, I am working my way through CS50's Intro course which is real fun. Also completing the Google Data Analytics course on Coursera because I realized that I also enjoy working with data. Have a great week ahead! Do you do any mentoring or coaching/training? I know you're working full-time but thought I'd ask anyway. Cheers
no mentoring yet, but i want to free up time so i can do it in the future -- stay tuned!
Have watched your video a second time, and am glad I did. I checked out Angela Yu's 100 Days of Coding course, and have already signed up for it. Jumping in with both feet!
Hopefully will have some useful skills to put on the table before my unemployment unsurance runs out.
I'll be looking to you as my new Computer Science Guru, and will be looking at your other videos as well.
Many thanks for making the effort to help a heavy equipment operator change to a new career!
Thanks! This was super comprehensive and helpful with a specific step-by-step gameplan from beginning to end.
Put that rejection in the past and focus on the next level. Thank you so much sir.
I think the hardest thing to learn coding is being persistent, there are many times I want to give up, can't fix a bug, can't compile the program, compare myself to other genius developers, etc.
agreed!
I honestly rarely subscribe to anyone but, I subscribed to you after the first watched video. I dont know what it is but, I just really like you. You are very easy to listen to, explain everything so well and just shoot those positive vibes all around the place. Thanks alot man and keep up the great work!
made my day, thanks!
I started to code not too long ago and I started with Javascript. As a 10 year old, it's a bit hard but I think python will be a great language to learn after I learn javascript
yessss
Keep going you got this
Very informative video. You're a great speaker and have a very zen demeanor. I'm just so amazed at how intelligent and accomplished you and other young folks are at such young ages.
Loved your video! Absolutely motivating. Right now I'm doing a bootcamp, it expensive, but I take it as a way to engage and persist, just as you say in the video. Found very insightfull how you share your experience on interviews.
AWESOME, did you also get a bachelors, the bootcamp i was looking at was like 11k
What bootcamp did you go to and did you get a job after completing it? I'm learning on my own right now but am thinking of joining one maybe in the beginning of the year.
Thanks man for the video, Im at my 2nd year of CS Engineering and I feel depresed or with no motivation, but now I just wanna study more and get better!
my father been telling about coding for long since I was a child and I never done anything about it, and he blamed me for it. now I'm about to be 17 in march and I'm just getting started.
you got this bro, I wish I started at 17, I am 32 now and just getting started now fully self teaching with the internet
I've been a coder for many years. Still the first picture reflects better how I feel when I code, way more than the second one.
If I could go back in time, I *_may_* skip the degree. But I'd *_definitely_* watch more Namanh videos
I will be starting my journey in software programming soon & thank you for posting this video. This did give me an insight to what I will be facing.
Thank you for sharing so much insight and information, it is so helpful and inspiring for me, and I'm sure others that are just starting out in programming and feel intimidated by all the information out there. You mentioned in this video at 6:33 , "real world technologies." If you have the chance, I think your subscribers would love to have your insight on some examples of real world technologies, just so we have an idea of what those technologies are and what they do, and how they could also assist us on our own projects outside of work. I'm curious what kind of application are truly useful to real companies and more specifically, which ones you've used in your experience. Thank you again for all your hard work putting these videos together, they are making an impact! We appreciate you!
thanks for the suggestion! noted for a future video!
Hi Namanh! I have been looking for a sign for almost a week and out of the blue, your video came out as the first video on my YT homepage! THANK YOU for this video and I do hope this goes well for me! More blessings to you, man!
wishing you the best of luck!
Mr Namanh, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS! I Listen to this one and the 'how I focus' almost every day. Just started learning python 2 weeks ago using the 100 day course on udemy, it's very fun, and many interesting struggles!
I have suggestions for videos:
video 1 - who are your mentors/ role models in code and also in life? who do you inspire yourself with?
video 2 - a meditation/ self hypnosis/ affirmations to help put us in the flow-zone before studying or coding! I know there are many out there, but coming from you and your voice is essential!
muita gratidao and much love from Brasil!
Thanks for sharing man. That was so cool. I have been in IT for a bit. Currently a Network Admin but looking to jump to the AWS cloud developer side. They say its good to know some Python. This is the first time I have ever heard the path to coding explained in a breif, practical way. Also i was just looking at the 100 days of code course on udemy recently. Thanks a bunch. I hope to get to the coding Jedi group soon : )
Just exactly what I wanted to hear today. Thank you buddy
thanks for watching!
@@namanhkapur you’re welcome
3:00 it's the way I chosen to learn. I learn by failure and doing it my own way. I can't learn by following guides like telling you to do "hello world", all you know after that is how to do what it tells you
I came up with an idea (build my own basic guessing game), and broke it down into steps. What do i need it to do, then gave me the questions I needed to google search
trial and error, then allowed me to make it. The game works, took me 1 week to write about 20 lines of code, but has spurred my desire to learn more and helped me troubleshoot errors. 150 google searches total
Don't compare to others, Its mandatory.
Learn by doing projects 👍
agreed!
Could u pls elaborate a bit, why should one learn by doing project?
@@morsheddldif u watch 30 TH-cam videos and don't write a single line don't make sense.according to me doing projects more effective than watching or reading a book.

I thank you sincerely. No really. Like thank you so much! I’ve been researching peoples accounts and roadmaps and yours was the ONLY one I found that gave a list, suggestions and caution! Thank you this was the motivation I needed! I will keep you and the comments posted! ❤
Love your videos man! I’m just beginning my developer journey and I’m starting with JavaScript. I’m sure both roads will get me to the same place, but I am curious on your thoughts on Python vs JS as a first language and also in terms of marketability when I do start applying for jobs. Keep up the great work!
javascript would be my top pick for beginner programmer languages in general, but if you only have 3-6 months, i think it’s easier to ramp up with python - can’t go wrong with either though!
Thanks for this question Bro... Im getting into Java Script Also...but Python is later on on my modules...
@@Url_jay start with python it's easier than javascript trust me I tried it gave up and went to python is my friend trust me u will never regret this
Same Here … studied a sense board programming at UNI, watched and learnt many TH-cam tutorials, worked hard to progress, got into work experience with many languages, built few web applications, servers, snippets, etc… 10 years later now, I think I would have told my younger self to do more side projects to learn and solve productivity issues.
I'm a beginner in coding, python is the first programming language I learn, I've been stuck on it for a few days, and I decide to quit python and move to javascript, as a beginner is quite hard for me to understand how python work, what python can do, etc. but thanks to your video it was really helpful for me as a beginner, but I'm also being confused after watching this video, should I back to python? or keep on JavaScript? well, I just learn JS in 3 or 4 days, but I can say that JS is easier than python.
python was the easier programming language , because you dont need to type a lot of code not like the javascript, actually js and python have similarities especially in function , much better is to start in BASIC , learn first the data structure and algorithms after that the object oriented and python
That warzone clip at 11:18 👀. Man I need to stop playing COD and start coding. Seriously tho great video man and honestly really great advice. I'm a self taught programmer and I'm doing Dr. Angela Yu's Web Developer bootcamp right now on Udemy and it's amazing how many resources are out there right now. There's no excuse for anyone not to be able to improve their life and try to better themselves. You've definitely got a new sub 👍🏼
Topic of the video aside. This was the first AD that I watched from start to finish. You did an amazing job on both the video and AD
so happy to hear you say that!
Yeah :D
Love your video Brodie. I’m just new into tech, and I do appreciate your video. I’m learning on html
Love your videos! I find a lot of inspiration and value in your content, Keep up the good work!
thanks for all the support!
I have watch these sort of videos and started a series where i will follow whatever you people say and update the progress. I am the guy who started programming
Great video and super helpful tips!
thanks for watching!
I would recommend learning JavaScript/JQuery/Node.js
Dear Kapur,
I have just started university, and in the first semester, they will teach us C++.
So what is your opinion?
Should I focus on C++ or start Python?
Thank YOU
Focus on the C++ first
Since you have just started. You should focus on C++. It helps you to master the basics and fundamentals of most programming languages. Once you have these fundamentals then it would be easy to learn other languages.
@@mr.G4MES1 Thak You so much
@@dengthor6741 Thank YOU so much
Do both.
I'm a first year college student (computer science). I just started learning python but it only took me a few months to build 2 of my first apps. One is a file concealer where you can conceal any zip file within an image and that image will still function as a normal image with only difference of having bigger size than a normal one (because the zip file you've concealed is in it). The second app is a mass deletion application where for example you downloaded a gamepack and there's a lot of game in it but most of them are duplicates like games written in different language but has a U.S (English) counterpart. You can easily filter them out in my program and delete them as opposed to filtering them out manually which will definitely waste a lot of your time if you're filtering thousands of them.
This was my first video from your channel. Thanks dude! i really appreciate the way you guided through everything. I am pretty sure once i get myself into the eco-system by getting a course, straight away i will know what to do next, which is the only point where the majority is lagging. So, this much guidance was enough. The rest of course remains on the work we do :)
agreed! good luck, let us know how it goes
thanks so much for this! didn't skip any ads as a way of expressing my gratitude
Such an informative video man, I’m trying to shift into becoming a software engineer and this is exactly what I needed to see at this time, thanks man would love to see more
thanks for the kind words -- much more coming very soon
I like code academy. It's been tea hing me while writing the code at the same time. I was able to retain the I for right away. I'm hands on person too so I agree with hands on works best.
Hey Namanh! Would you please make a video on Machine Learning Engineer career path? That'd be a great help 😀
great idea! coming soon :)
I have a TH-cam channel in a different niche and have to say man, really really good video. i love this. Subscribed.
I'm 31, I already got a college degree but nothing related to computer science. Recently I found that coding is what I've been searching my whole life, being a software developer has become the dream of my life. I've been studying python for a couple months, but still there is something that makes me feel not sure, and it's my age. I don't know if they are looking for younger people. I'm still motivated, but that one thing sometimes hits my mind
Exactly the same age as you and in the same situation. I have a degree on Economics. I think let’s just do our best and see, it’s better than doing nothing! Good luck to you fam
You can do it bro. Don't give up
@@stumbo_3230 Thanks bro ❤️
@@kkiiization good luck to you as well my bro. That's right, let's do our best
I have a 31 year old black friend in Nigeria that recently started his career as a Software Engineer.
No, he didn't study computer science. ND guess what? He works for two US companies remotely from Nigeria.
What's more? I have a 50+ year old man that is currently transitioning to Tech (Product Management).
Listen Up! 31 is farrrrr from being too old to fit into tech! Are you kidding me? I feel like that's just the right age my brother..... To me, I feel it communicates maturity and tenacity.... It all depends on how you decide to brand yourself: Either as an old person who is struggling to fit in or a skillful 31 year old programmer who is also experienced at managing cross-functional teams.
I believe the soft skills you've gathered over years places you at a better advantage than SOME younger people who lack emotional intelligence... So please, BELIEVE IN, and SELL YOURSELF WELL! No one will, if you don't.
Absolutely loved this video! I'm 17 yo majoring in Design and I want to study programming by myself and your tips will help me a lot. I saw you speak Portuguese so ganhou um inscrito!
obrigado!
You got some insane cool sponsors all tools every programer uses.
Great sir i am a teenager from Pakistan and i am doing my efforts to be a successfull software enj

Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to learn to code for a while now, and your tips are incredibly helpful.
Another great video! I have a 17 years old son who always keeps saying " Baba....I want to be like you, a software engineer. Traveling the world and making so much money"...I am good software engineer but a horrible teacher! I told him to start with Java or C++ like I did but thank god you posted this video I will send this video to him! Thank you!
i appreciate the thumbnail not looking like you rest your head on a keyboard and looking straight at the camera.
i did that one first

Clickbait: 100%
There is something about the way Namanh speaks. It sounds insanely unique , fluent , and upbeat
😊
I did a Python course and after 12 years I finally learned how to add two integers.
No way bro . I started to learn coding yesterday and I already learned that yesterday itself. You might have been in a coma for 12 yrs 😂
🤣
That was actually straightforward, thank you!
My baby girl Angela Yu on the front page ❤️❤️, she's the no 1, no teacher can beat her, I can personally attest, I am on my second bootcamp from her and she is a crazy good teacher, she also doesn't let you just watch, she makes sure you get hands on 🤧, she is crazy, I became excellent in just 4 months with her bootcamp...and that was my first time programming
I purchased 2 times Udemy courses, both was actually good rated, but turned out to be more like a kind of „warm up“ instead of a serious course. I am beginner as well, learning JS, since it seems to be very popular and easy to learn.
I cannot trust into someone recommend me only his own products, sorry.
But I agree with your points on the video
That was a realliy great video. Definitally the most clear and practical cod learning advice I have found on youtube. Thank your for putting in the work.
Im 16 years old tried to get started with DSA in java …..
It felt like impossible thak god you posted this video !!! 😅😇
wishing you the best in your journey!
I dropped out of university and im in the process of finding an entirely new path, it should be quick, it should be non traditional as my resumee is full of ups and downs and it should be something im interested in. While i always shyed away from Coding, the way you describe it sounds interesting and im thinking about picking it up. Ill probably do it as a fun part time activity after my minimum wage job and see how it developes from there.
I love this video, i am spanish speaker and im learning english and development. and inclusive i dont understand your words (hahaha) you are very clear in you explained in this video. congratulation you motivate me to improvement me.
Your video is a real source of inspiration for all those who have been dejected due to their past failures.It inspires us to never give up.
thanks for watching!
My personal opinion? The best teacher for learning Python is Programming With Mosh. He has his own personal website, TH-cam content, and he even has courses on Udemy.
With Java being verbose and harder to write and understand, is it a more desired language for a developer to know?
Just began with Python and I'm finding it awesome. I'm finding the syntax exceptionally logical, which is a big plus for beginners. Furthermore, the versatility of Python in different fields is remarkable.
